Standard Trailer leafs are bouncy! only because there only 19" in length and designed to carry weight and not cycle in movement! our Springs are 43" long and come standard with a Hyd Shock to control the movement! (Upgraded Gas Shocks Available but not necessary) No one else did this when we started. ! Our trailers are designed to get you home.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Did some more work this weekend, rotopax, led lights and some door organizers.
What kind of leds are those. I want to add some color changing so I can dim them and turn them red or amber for bugs.Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Did some more work this weekend, rotopax, led lights and some door organizers.
How deep are your shelf’s we are building a 5x9 mid range and debating more storeage in gallly24 in vs more in the cabinet. I just want the inside to feel to small.Last weekend we added some extra fuel storage, matching wheels and tires to the 4Runner and a folding shelf for the rear door. Ready for a trip to Bedford, VA to attend the Blue Ridge overland gear flea market.
Matt, I would do it .. makes a ton of difference. All my personal trailers are only built that way.

I meant to say I don't want it to feel to small. Is there plenty of room on the inside still? Wife doesn't want a galley that is open. So closed off with one pass through middle now the debate is 24 or 17 inch standard. At first when she seen the backpacker setup she really wanted it for clothes bags. Now that she seen the shelf on the other build on this site that folds down she is thinking that for clothes. Do you have an close ups of 24 deep?

Wow that gives you alot of options with deeper cabinets. I will have to show my wife this. So losing the 7 inches in the cabin isn't a big deal? Still have good sleeping room?
Rob,
My wife feel in love with this setup Dana has. Do you do many of these shelves? She wants to sleep feet to the front of the trailer. So wondering how much room is there for feet on these shelves. I asked Dana for some measurements but he hasn't gotten back yet. She sees up putting our clothes bags here thoughts? I hear this folds.

I am. Really hoping to see some Hiker Trailers in person too!
@Wawa Skittletits created a Rally Point for a meetup at Papas & Beer south of Asheville for 3pm Thursday, so we can all roll into Expo East together and all camp in a group.

Hope to see you and many others there.
Those are some strips I purchased from Superbrightleds, they are not rgb nor dimmable. Just water proof.

Is the topic being discussed in the Southeast FB group @Darkside Overland? I just requested to join it. Surprised I hadn’t done that previously.
