Haha! That's how the box is held onto the floor. Grade 5 bolts to the frame of the trailer. Don't get me wrong, I love our enclosed cargo trailer with the RTT up top. It served us very well. But, I took what I learned from building that one, and didn't make the same mistakes on this one (is...

Thanks man! It's going to be a work in progress for quite some time. There's lots of tweaks that are going to take place, and I'm sure I'll think of more, the more I use it.

Well, took Groot 2.0 out for it's inaugural trip, and I must say, it was a resounding success!!

I'm sure I could, but I'm trying to avoid bolting things directly to the wall if I can. That opens up more possibilities of water ingress, which I'm trying to avoid if I can. I can design a bracket that bolts to the frame, brings the strut channel up and out, and bolt it to that. I'm not going...

Thanks! I'm very pleased with how it's turned out. I think I'm going to come up with a different solution for mounting the stove box. I think I need to use some sort of bracket that brings the vertical strut channel closer to the body of the trailer. On top of that, when the axle get's moved...

I've been really bad about taking progress pictures, but the trailer is usable for it's first run this weekend. Mattress is in, trim is on, awning is mounted, stove box is mounted. Galley drawers are also made. I just need to make the doors for the galley cabinets tomorrow, and get them...

I used the black on mine. The version with the 3/4 leg. I skipped the vinyl insert though, as I'm using mine to mount my crossbars.

Nice. I would love to go with a propex, but since we don't live in ours, I can't justify the cost. Thanks for the link. That's exactly what those ports are, and that gives me a good sense of what's needed to do the same to my trailer.

I'm assuming the dual hose box on the front is a diesel heater? It looks like you used 3" RV sewage ports to hook them up. How has that held up? how well does it keep water out while travelling? I'm planning on adding a heater to mine before it starts getting cold again.

Nice. I was originally going to go with either ACM panels, or something like Filon, but the cost was rather prohibitive. I could always put that on later, if I desire. I'll bet it'll look really nice. I ordered my trim from vintage technologies. I'll probably add some aluminum angle along the...

Fenders look good. I can't remember.... What are you planning for finishing the trailer? I will say, the pmf process is shockingly easy, and relatively quick. We had mine completely skinned in two days.

I just finished building the base of my trailer. Just in time to take it out this weekend! (how's that for cutting it close?)

Filling the back of the connector with something like sikaflex takes care of most corrosion issues you might have. They also make weatherproof boots for the back of sb50 connectors. I also found these the other day. They look like they should be compatible with a standard sb50 connector as...

Finished getting the trailer painted this weekend. After that dried, I got the doors mounted with butyl tape. I also got the camp side porch light and roof vent mounted. Tonight I need to get the faceplate for the battery monitor made, then I'm done with the interior of the cabin. Trim should...

From what I could find, it's this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.stokevoltaics.com/products/nomad-cooking-system&ved=2ahUKEwi68eX9p4GGAxUMOjQIHcKaCfgQFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1sFrT08S8wOjg05PB3DEfH Looks rather interesting.

I don't really have any pictures yet, but we put the first coat of paint on the trailer last night. Thinned it down to a 2:1 ratio of paint to water, to help it soak into the canvas. I'll be putting at least two more coats of paint on it. One more full strength coat of exterior latex base coat...

Only had one day this weekend, but now she's ready for paint!

Looks awesome man! Nicely done!

My concern would be solder cracking due to vibrations in that instance. It might not be much of a concern, but I tend to prefer marine crimp connections for that. Now, I did use a bunch of solder seal connectors in the front overhead storage, but if they do fail, I can access and replace them...

Personally, I don't like relying on grounding via the frame, if that's what you're referring too. If you talking about running a wire, and splicing into that for grounds, I could see that being advantageous. In my case, I have no wires down low, so that would be out of the question. I will be...
