    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    my tires finally arrived this morning after some issues with the shipping company, but tire rack was excellent with their customer service. they contacted the shipping company to have them figure out what happened on their end and also started processing a replacement order to send in case the...

    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    yeah, i have looked at them, but i'm kind of stuck with what i have since the trailer barely clears the garage door to get it in there. i'll be running the same size tire , but i wanted just a little more clearance in the "wheel well" area when the spring compresses and the wheel/tire moves...

    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    i've been pretty busy with work the last couple months, so the trailer has been less of a priority until now. i'm getting things ready for a trip from SoCal to Montana to visit family and i just got a couple things to work on for now. first, my neighbor does flooring and he told me before a...

    Awning on vehicle or trailer?

    at least you can try it out on the trailer and adjust or add depending on your needs. best way i've figured out what works for me is by trying something out even after putting a lot of thought into it. best of luck and let us see what ends up working for you. it's always good to see what...

    Awning on vehicle or trailer?

    I'd say the trailer would be a good place for it. if you think about it, the trailer allows you to have most of all the stuff you take with you on a trip ready to go. if you don't plan on leaving the awning on the car all the time, the trailer makes more sense. the less work you have to do in...

    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    after looking around online and having a hard time figuring out what mattress to go with (most had mixed reviews), i found out about a local guy that makes his own folding foam mattresses and sells them at the swap meet. i contacted him and was able to stop by his place to pick up a mattress...

    Deep Creek Hotsprings Campground near Hesperia, CA. I had never been there and it was a cool little spot. The views were nice and the hot springs are a couple mile hike from the campground. https://goo.gl/maps/byZGuqPuRZyviVD8A oh, and i forgot to mention that my air mattress finally died...

    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    Took the trailer on a little camping trip this weekend and overall it was pretty good for the bare bones set up. it was nice having the solid walls as it was a bit windy, but not too bad. it was cold out and the trailer was still chilly inside, so i really do need to get the ceiling insulated...

    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    nice, i've been leaning towards a full size mattress because most of the fold ups are 4 inches thick and i'm a big guy. i might just keep looking for now and use the air matress in the mean time. i already have a smittybilt 6'x8' awning that i would attach to my roof rack on the suv, but it's...

    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    got dead bolts installed on the doors to make it easier to lock the doors from the inside and add a little extra security as well. i have the trailer set up good enough for a super basic camping trip this weekend, so i'm excited to spend my first night in it tomorrow night. i think i have...

    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    i got a lot of little stuff done today and also got most of the front end put together. i put in new boards underneath on the curved edges in the front to fill the gaps in so i could put in foam to fill the rest of the voids in the frame. i still need to trim back the foam when it dries, then...

    Jackery Power Station

    For sure, it's pretty versatile. I was a little apprehensive buying one in the first place since I don't have a lot of vital electrical gadgets that need recharged during a camping trip. Being able to use it for many things has made me feel way better about purchasing one. Jackery is the only...
