Nice to see somebody actually using one in the wild. I've thought about picking one up for myself as well.

I've really only led one large group run so far. We did the Idaho bdr last year, and had two rigs from Washington join us, along with another from Oregon. The other Idaho rig had to cut out early due to what ended up being strep throat. I spent months planning the trip, figuring out gas stops...

Well, the trailer has now been out three times. I absolutely love it. We took it out to overland expo pnw over the weekend, and I picked up some ideas from other trailers of things I'd like to try. It was neat that my wife was able to spot where some of the ideas that I incorporated into the...

Mine barely touch, so I ordered 1/2in spacers. Should do fine.

I managed to find time to get my party lights up and running last night! I also got the larger tires moved over from the old trailer. While I was underneath there though, I noticed that the tires contact the forward spring perches. It would appear that I need rims with less offset, but...

I don't live in the Portland area, but I do regularly visit the Leslie Gulch/succor creek area, as it's only about 1.5 hours from my house. Be aware, it's hot out here that time of year, and little in the way of shade. I might be able to meet up with you, depending on whether or not my wife...

They make a waterproof seam tape that you can put over the corners. Lay that down, then use butyl tape underneath the trim (and anywhere you put a screw). That should do the trick. Edit: crap, forgot the link... https://shopliquidrubber.com/products/seam-tape

That turned out great!! Have you decided on trim for it yet?

Many things accomplished today! Water pump is in, and wired up. Water outlet is plumbed. Faucet threads on, and works perfectly! I also made a bracket to mount the stove box directly, without using the crossbars. I also moved the awning forward, so we can now use the stove box and use the...

Well, I had the box bolted down, so it wasn't going anywhere. But, it still needed more support on the front.... So, the solution was simple... I then proceeded to tow it 300 miles round trip for a girls scouts event. Everything went fine, and, I found out that it added enough tounge...

Man, i missed quite a conversation! Keeping bedding in the tent depends on the tent, and bedding. I have an ironman4x4 nomad 1300 =similar to the ikamper). With the stock mattress, I can't keep much up there. With a self inflating mattress, I can keep a sleeping bag (used like a blanket)...

Fair enough. Good point about the threadjacking. Moving on.

We started with something comparable to what you built. My suggestion is use it. Figure out your pain points, modify it, and you'll learn what you really like and dislike about that setup. Then, take what you learn there, and build a new one, and sell the old one to help cover some costs.

It saved our bacon over memorial day weekend. The mosquitos were horrendous, so we hung out in the awning room with a buddy heater and some lights.

I've not taken mine to a weigh station yet, but I'm guessing it's probably in the 1600lb range mostly loaded. If that makes you feel any better. I plan on doing that soon, probably before I head to expo pnw. I really want to find out what the dry weight is.

Dude that's dope. I love the coverage you're getting there. Makes me almost want to go with a 270. Almost. I'd miss my enclosed, bug proof room though. ;)

Since I need to use the trailer this weekend, I got the fridge box in place last night, and temporarily bolted into place. I need to get some more bolts tonight, as well as work out a way to secure it at the top, that doesn't involve drilling holes in the cabin...

Ok, so in my attempts to get this box PMF'd, I made many errors. Let's just say things did not go as planned. First of all, I ran out of canvas. I had enough to do the sides with the doors, and the top, but not the rest of the box. Then, the pain can spilled. Then, while trying to hose that...

Very nice!! I totally know that feeling. I took mine out over memorial day with lots of things missing. No solar yet (charger isn't connected to the battery), no fridge box. But, it worked well, and we were comfortable, which is what mattered. My wife loved it as well. I like that yours is...

Been a very busy day. I've been working on the fridge box since 9am this morning... 2x2 framing (to support a rack on top of the box) 3/8 plywood skin Tomorrow I glue on the canvas, and will get a couple of coats of paint on it. It's supposed to rain late tomorrow night, and I need to...
