*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) After our let down over a BBQ... Ive decided to build a trailer with a 6 burner BBQ, rotissere, Fridge, deep freeze, sink & pressurised water, sound system, lighting, generator, batteries and may be a TV.. to take along for meets... any other sencible suggestions would be taken into consideration. I wont make it to big, so that it can be towed by anything at 100kph. Is there anyone here who might be able to help with bits at the right price?... I'm not asking for anything for free... I'll own it and maybe hire it out to other groups or clubs as well Edited January 21, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Awesome idea Glenn, it's one that has crossed my mind many times but i've never actually done anything about it. I can help with the design of it & any CAD or fabrication drawings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 We where looking at making something like this up a few years ago... I think i've still got the plans i drew up for it around somewhere i'll see if i can find them... We where going to use things like marine grade head deck and speakers so a little water wouldn't matter. we where contemplating things like getting a massive cooler (or plastic welding 3 smaller ones together) and putting in a drain plug (for melted ice runout) instead of trying to run a lpg/electric fridge. We i think decided on 2 coolers of a decent size one for drinks and one for food. We where looking at using 2 x 9kg lpg bottles so should it be used for camping trips it would have no worries of running out (overkill). They where going to be stored in a square foam lined box with lockable hinged top. A dry store for things like bread, chips, napkins, plates, etc... Preferably all lockable, and if you wanted to get really trick you could use the central locking units from some old dead cars from Ray or someone and run it from an alarm/fob.

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) really depends on how hardcore you want this as a setup? it's all $$$ in the end... Something like this would be very kool and fairly easy to make... but once you start adding sound systems, water stores (hand pump/electic pump), battery storage for electrical equipment/charging system, bbq + gas supply, coolers, a rubbish bin for recycling / general rubbish, etc.. you might run into size / weight issues... just thinking are you thinking about a power outlet for running things like laptops (collecting photos, mp3 playback), lights, tv's, etc... a input power should you be at a powered site to run the sound system, tv's and extra's... Seeings as how your all bmw nuts, you could see about finding a 2/3 cut of a wagon and converting that. would make a great promo trailer for the club/brand.

I have a 750iL.. there would be enough room for a spa pool aswell, but none of your E30's would be able to tow it... mind you there will probably be enough room to add an E30 transporting deck aswell to tow you all home when you break down.
