Let's see your dive room!

I use the Choby technique. I have a pile of BP/s in on spot, a pile of cylinders in another. The doubles usually stay in the back of the car ready to go. A couple of shelf units full of dive stuff like extra valves, rebuild kits, O-rings, tools lights, spools.. no wait, spools are clipped off to the bread rack in the kitchen along with back-up lights. You get the idea, my place junked up with "stuff."

This is the inside of a 5'X 10' shed. The camera needs a wide angle lens to show it all. I found after building it that it is to small.

That is one heckova impressive setup.

Thanks SkipperJohn,

I don't have the ability to store things inside due to space

I'm in the process of building a cargo trailer. It's not a walk-in closet like you've got (I didn't want to tow a big box behind me), so it will not be as nice, but hopefully it will be functional. I'm calling it an "off-road camping cargo trailer" as it is pretty beefy and supposed to go anywhere the Jeep can go.

It's not just for scuba, it's for camping and general purpose use too, so it's not like I will leave dive gear in it all the time. I couldn't do that anyway because I don't think dive gear would like sitting outside all winter.

Trailer is currently at the powder coater's place being powder coated - but here's a picture of what I have so far. It has three heavy duty security boxes easily accessible (one of which will be set up as a galley), and several "inner chambers" - the main cargo area is accessible through a rear door. In these photos, the "skin" floors, doors and fenders are not shown. The main cargo bay has welded on d-rings (lots of them) for tying down the scuba tanks and whatever else I want to put on there.

I can't wait to finish this thing so I can use it for scuba and camping. It will become the permanent home for my camping gear - so I can just leave it all in there and go at a moment's notice. SCUBA gear will only go in there in preparation for a SCUBA trip

Sweet! Nice beads! Thanks for the inspiration, I needed a new welding/fabricating project now I just have to figure out what it will be!

MIG, TIG or Stick?

I've never heard any say " damn this (garage, shed, barn) is just to big

Cool rig you got yourself going on there bud. Looks like that's heavy enough to do some rock crawling with. Mine first started out like a multi use trailer. In the winter I would convert it over to my hunting shack. This year, I think I will just leave things alone and save the headache.

Good luck on your project. Keep us posted on your progress. I'm always looking for ideas on how to improve mine, and get most of them from forums like these.

Dive safe,

Ken

This right here is a "man's" shack. All ya need is a flat screen, entertainment center and a cool recliner to separate yourself from day to day stress.

Love it!

All:

Thanks for the trailer kudos

With any luck, the powder coater will finish it it and I can put the floor back in it, bolt the boxes back on, and get on with the sides and top. With any luck, I will get at least that much done before it snows

FWIW, this was supposed to be a poor man's version of the Horizon Trailer (http://www.adventuretrailers.com/horizon.html), but so far it's up to $6000 (with powder coating) - and I still need to buy batteries and such. It does include the aluminum for the sides, floor, top, doors - unless I under-estimated. Anyway - a lot more than I planned on ($2000), but still a lot less than a decked out Horizon.

I am lucky enough to have a garage. The only problem might be then I can keep buying more equipment, just check my gallery.
