I am actually thinking of mounting a pony keg behind the back seat, and a co2 system to keep it pressurized. Then all I need is a hose running to the front and a switch on the dash.......would be considered on onboard beer dispensing system........

Hmmm, this would prevent open container tickets, right Al?

Just tell the friendly officer it's your bio fuel tank, and you're keeping it cold for greater fuel density, and the line into the cabin is for the frequent testing you must do to assure quality.

I think that was close to the answer, but it was a little slurred when we shared it..

bubble kegs ( remember them?) and a windshield washer fluid pump..

You guys did it all wrong. We actually had to 1/2 barrels in the back of a pick up truck one was actually the gas tank for the truck. The other was pressurized as I mentioned before, copper pipe ran into a cooler coil set up to quick cool the beer on to a tap in the glave box. We also did the windshield washer pump deal (even from under the hood) but it had whiskey at the other end of that spiggot.

Sorry Al, can't press charges......it's all hear say

We were young, we had a cooler, Bubble keg, and washer pump.. Ran all behind the paneling in the van, only thing you could see was the tap in the dash board. unless you opend up the back doors of the van, and went under the seats..

Well work then off to Lansing again to move the last of the stuff into the new house. 3 bedrooms, dining room, basement and garage to go. The worst part is that none of it is mine!

Good morning everyone! House is under contract. Hopefully close October 15th.
Right now the search is on for inexpensive housing until May. We are going to need some storage for all of our house stuff and furniture.
Sooooo I have this angle I'm working on. We need storage, I would love an enclosed trailer for hauling stuff likes sleds, motorcycle, small cars. I figure I might be able to sell the wife on this one.
But what do I need to look for in an enclosed? I'm thinking 20-22ft long. 7-8.5ft wide. Obviously the 8.5 if I want to haul a car. What about axles, trailer brakes, construction materials?
