Thanks Got the RTT mounted yesterday and the plywood secured (mostly) should be good enough for this weekend. I’m going to modify the step ladder and try to come up with a mount for my 20lb propane tank tomorrow Will get pics tomorrow

How about just getting some aluminum and mounting a couple of horizontal cross bars? Wouldn’t have to be very big depending on what you want to mount

Making good progress The pics aren’t in order but here’s what I did Axle flip,converted to swing open tailgate,15” wheels,new fenders,and plywood inside. I’m not sure how I’m going to fasten the plywood yet maybe pocket screws and bolts through the frame We are going camping next weekend so...

Cover is in excellent shape,a bit of garage dust on it. Folds twice and buckles at front for access to open bed All necessary hardware Located in StPaul ,Mn $150

She (long time girlfriend Kelly ) is uncomfortable with the height of the rtt on a bed rack as well as the ladder I’m going to fit a fixed step ladder non collapsing after I get the final height established The lights are a great idea thanks

Got the fenders removed and cut the channel at the rear, I’m going to use the slide in tailgate to fabricate a swinging gate hinged on the drivers side I looked at some wheels today at Tractor Supply and they have some narrow 15” rims that look like they will fit but Fleet Farm has some on sale...

I’m hoping to get some wheels that will fit I’m not looking to match up with my truck just simple 15” trailer wheels I will replace the fenders The 2000lb axle that’s on it will be fine

So I bought the lowes ((carry all) trailer , Flipped the axle and installed a jack Does anyone have a source for wheels with more offset? ( need them to stick out away from the frame) I want to put 15” rims and tires on before I install the rtt and modify the ladder I’ll update pics tonight

Thanks for the details I’ve decided to get a small trailer from Lowes and build off of that I don’t have time to start from scratch and I can modify it as needed

I’d love to see more details about the hitch

Looks great Thanks for the ideas

I just bought one very similar!

Nice rig, I agree with you about the wheels, never understood the huge rims,more rubber is better for off .

At the height of the RTT now, the regular ladder is useless for entry and egress, it’s for support only. It’s fully collapsed and all the steps are together. The big benefit for Kelly is the when exiting, she can reach the top of the stepladder to steady herself so she doesn’t feel like she will...

Well, it was a huge success! Kelly loved the RTT at the lower height. I also like being able to use the truck without taking down most of the camp. So I’m pretty sure that I’m going to start building a trailer this winter.

Thanks for your input but the solutions are not the same for everyone I’m a finish carpenter of 30+ years and have installed Miles of crown molding so I know a bit about ladders The height is too much for her and she has some health issues and whatever I can do to make it fun to camp more I’m...

Thanks I just got a reservation for Saturday night at a state park for a trial run If this works out then I will think about a smaller dedicated trailer I have a welder and some fabrication skill so I could build something that is more trail friendly

So, the back story, I have a 2013 Tacoma DCSB with the usual [ OME suspension, ARB front bumper, winch EXPO springs, sliders, blah, blah , yada, yada. My girl and I [both mid 50's] decided to get a RTT, to make camping more comfortable but still feel like camping and not a motel room [no offense...

I use 2 bike /canoe hoists from fleet farm to hoist it up to my garage rafters I was concerned that the weight with the bed rack was too much for 1 hoist as they are only rated for canoes and bikes It works great and I can do it alone I can load it on or off the truck or lower it to the ground

Old man emu, But don’t waste your money with rear aal’s If you want to put weight in the back,get new leaf packs
