You, sir, are a genius. Well done!

Do you happen to have photos of the build process? I find those to be much more useful to people looking to build their own trailer.

It's pretty sparse,but off to a great start! What are your overall plans with the build?

I will receive them tomorrow, but I'm replacing the mattress in my rooftop tent. I ordered 2 4 inch thick self inflating sleeping pads to replace the 1.5in foam mattress the tent came with.

Yeah, I monitored it via the renogy battery monitor on my trailer. It pulled about 10A while warming up the glow plug. Then it pulls about an 1A. If I have a 100Ah lifepo4 in the trailer. The heater will pull way less out of the battery than my 12v electric blanket.

I've tested mine, and no it works. I just need to run it into the tent, and spend a night in the driveway. :grinning:

I'm actually a little worried that the 8kw heater will be too much for my RTT, but the winters here in Idaho can get REAL cold.

Patched up a small crack in my roof top tent with some Marine Tex epoxy. This stuff is amazing, and I have confirmed reports that you can fix a marine engine intake manifold with it.

No problem. I'm sure it's a fine trailer, I just think if you look around, you'll probably find something you like even better.

In addition to the fail-tastic attempt at a trip, I've made a bunch of updates to the rig in the last few months. There's much to do before we head out and hit the ID BDR next year. First up, is I finally installed the tow hitch, and wired up the 3-pin anderson connector to power the 20A dc-dc...

For a 20k starting price, I'd rather have something with a composite construction. I'm not against wooden trailers (Mines made of wood), but I feel like there are better options out there. These trailers start at 12k for the base model, and can be spec'd out. Top spec sits at about 25k, and...

A little over a month ago, @K12 and I replaced the radiator in Gamora, and installed an auxillary transmission cooler. Last weekend, we attempted to head out to test out some new gear. I had a diesel heater I wanted to test, as well as battery and propane tank heaters. Well......I had my first...

It's been done. I have the same size tank. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/200-5kw-portable-diesel-air-heater.191458/post-2870519 If it doesn't fit, I'll use the box200-5kw-portable-diesel-air-heater.191458for200-5kw-portable-diesel-air-heater.191458 something else, and try a...

Believe me, I've thought about renting a large storage unit so that I can build things in the winter time....

Too cold for that, at least for right now. I'm also a couple of years out on that.

This is what I planned on using: https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/22-in-pro-tool-box-black

I mean, that's the plan for now.... Well see ho long it stays up there though.

I want the fuel container inside the box. I want to try and minimize any leaking into the trailer. I know I can fit EVERYTHING in the rigid tool box (which is only about $60 anyways), that it's just plug in the power, and run the hose into one of the tents.

That wouldn't hurt, for sure! Last week, while pulling the old tail lights off the trailer, I noticed a small crack in the hard shell of my rooftop tent. I reached out to Ironman 4x4 america, and the opted to just replace the whole thing! So, I ordered some marine epoxy to patch the crack...

I've decided I'm going to move mine to a more weather resistant case, specifically, a rigid medium toolbox. It should be a fairly simple project, and should only require a few parts.
