Aspen Classic mods 1

[Fatcycledaddy]

I updated my Bunkhouse camper to the Aspen Classic, still used but much newer.
Of course I had to do a few mods to it.
Pic #1 The standard fiberglass interior of the trailer. Pic #2 I added a sheet of 1/4" plywood to make it flat, then carpeted. Pic #3,4,5 I added batteries, built a box around them, and cover for the box.

#2

I then added a mercury switch and LED lights that come on when opened. Pic#1, Power outlets to charge our headsets, phones, tablet, and run a 12volt fan that hangs from the ceiling when set up. Pic#2 I also added LED lights to the main bar of the tent that are on a remote so we can dim them down. All wires are ran through aluminum channel around the bed, through the poles holding up the roof. There is a battery charger mounted in between the two batteries that you can plug in and charge, but they also charge as you ride.
Added 40 pounds but allows us to charge at tent sites without having electricity.

Nicely done

Lot of nice work. I'm sure it's gonna make life brighter on those trips...:2thumbs:

Really nice looking and should be pretty comfortable to camp in. If I can ask, how much is the total weight of the empty trailer itself?

By any chance could those small batteries fit in your Spyder if you ever needed them to? Wouldn't that be sweet?

No they won't fit, however all I have to do is plug the trailer in and there is a direct fused wire to the Spyder battery. All I would have to do is let it set a bit and it would charge, or if they were low from camping, plug in the charger in the trailer and let it charge all three.

Nice design. Congrats on the mods.

Lookin good! It looks like you carpeted the Fiberglas in this picture. What material did you use that could conform to the curves?

 

[Fatcycledaddy]

I used speaker box covering or carpet. It can easly be pulled, streached, and contured. Dont pull too hard, it will get too thin and rip. I learned that the hard way.
With the spray contact cement, it is very easy to seam piece togather also.
