...with my 4Runner going all over the country and off-road, however, I've changed my build out and am now using a full-size truck with a tent camper on it, so it's time to let this awesome trailer go.
Too many items to list here on the trailer but I'll cover the highlights.
3.5K axle with...
...so I can't speak to the diesel ones.
Carbon Monoxide tends to be less of a concern with these as they are running outside away from the tent, and with the combustion air intake & exhaust being separate from the heat exchanger the air coming into the tent isn't exposed to carbon monoxide...
Bless your heart for wanting to be sure of the comfort of your wife. Be meticulous in planning. Each meal and how you will prepare it, have enough water plus extra for everyone. Be sure if you are eating cooked foods you have cooking fuel. Have a method for heating up water for clean up. Have...
...one chance to make it successful. Also needed since I have zero clue how to plan.
Background - I have done quite a bit of off road with some tent camping for one night. However, that has only been done with me and my son, who is nine. This trip, I am looking to bring my wonderful city girl...
I picked up a 1951 M100 trailer a few years ago with no intentions of building it out any further than some bigger tires for dispersed tent camping trips in Colorado. However, after thinking about logistics of finding BLM/NFS campsites that could fit a Jeep, utility trailer, tent(s), and the...
...over $24K! GREAT adventure trailer and is extremely easy to tow by any vehicle since it packs to a super rugged and capable trailer. Huge pop up tent with annex, slide out kitchen in the back with two burner stove and sink, instant water heater for shower, 18 gal water tank, extra potable...
Camp furniture like chairs and a table setup are usually a well accepted way of showing a spot is being used. For ground tent folks like myself having you tent up is a dead giveaway, and I’ve never had concern that any of my items set up would be subject to theft. Site location is key, people...
...sprayed but I didn't have access to a paint booth.
I removed the RTT and it's frame which is pretty easy except it takes 2 people to lift the tent off the platform. The trailer is painted and the tent framework is mostly painted. Trailer lights are back on and tested. The plywood bed...
...from having on mine with the dexter 3500 lb axle. also are you going to do drop leg stabilizer jacks? since you have the welding ability, having some stabilizer jacks on each corner would be nice with the rooftop tent. keep up the good work, i'm looking forward to see how this comes along.
I recently added my privacy tent back onto my rig using a telescoping TV mount.
It locks when in motion. I needed to get distance away from the truck as well as move backwards to miss the ladder that comes down from the rooftop tent.
...from $$-built Tacomas to old Sequoias to old Mitsubishis and XJs. Some sleep in $$ RTTs, others on the ground under a lean-to shelter or small tent.
I'm on social media with many of them, and a few who I find their positions on certain issues to be (frankly) very distasteful. Generally it's...
...to a better place and replace the small Pelican with a single larger one. That takes care of the rear door, bear containerr, and Rotopax
AluCab tent and side windows: this is a bit of a thermal expansion problem. It's not something that really poses a problem. I will see whether I can do...
I'm selling my CBI Rack Height bed rack. It was installed on a 2020 Tundra Crewmax (5.5 Bed)
It is in good shape with some wear from tent and other items being mounted.
I'm switching my setup, so this is your opportunity to save some cash.
This rack might fit other trucks, CBI currently shows...
Glad you liked the tip! The tarp really does make a difference for temperature control. Have you tried it yet, or are you planning to on a future trip?
Installed the tent today, I was worried the 50Lb struts I used were too stiff but after adding the tent's weight, it's just right to me, not overly difficult to lower, takes a bit of a tug. Rising up happens on it's own as soon as the pop pins are pulled. I tested for sway or shake when moving...
I used to have one of these. Sold it years ago. Just found the big heavy duty canvas that goes over the top and forms a big tent all the way around. Would you like to have it? I'll send it to you if you'll pay shipping.
...diamond plate bling attached with riv nuts inserted into the square tubing. It's came out very stout.
This is a close up of one of the front tent platform mounting points. I had some 3/4" high misalignment heim joints designed for A-Arms left over from a project, perfect pivot, extremly...
