Sheep Camp Trailer

Once leaving CSI, Nelson has been busy building his own version of the RV/Sheep Camp trailer. We knew that we couldn't buy just any RV trailer that would withstand the roads and trails on the ranch. Nelson's solution.....build your own RV. It started with a gooseneck trailer, a vision or two, and some trial and error. Thankfully we had Marty Slawson available for much of the work. HIs expertise was much needed in this endevour. It looks really good, and should stand up to the rough roads, and tough weather that it will endure in New Mexico. Any of the cowboys that have had to pitch a tent on some of the remote places on the ranch will appreciate having a an RV type setting for camping requirements. The solar system is being built as we speak, and will enable them to move this trailer throughout the ranch, with solar electricty, water, a wood burning camp stove, plus a pretty nice bed to lay your head down at night. I do believe that this RV/Sheep trailer might be one for the record books. It will probably outlast both Nelson and I with the quality of workmanship that went into the construction. Also, a big thank you to Jim Shirley for all of his help with this little project.....(ha ha).
