On the lower right I have my stove mounted on a 24-inch slide that is then mounted on another 24-inch slide. This takes up the least amount of space and affords the greatest level of usage. If I am somewhere for a couple of days I can simply remove one or both trays and place them on a table.View attachment 30106

Okay, so a little about Alaska. Planning a solo 10,000 to 12,000 mile trip from Phoenix, Arizona to most major points in Alaska while finding as much overloading opportunities along the way as I can. Plan on starting last week of April 2018. Have purchased a 5X9 Extreme Off-Road Hiker Trailer and having it made a little custom for this trip. Will install all electrical myself consisting of two 100-solar panels, a 2K inverter, 6-volt batteries, Climate Right AC/Heat.

Okay, just a little about me. I'm 58 and purchased my first Jeep three years ago and have loved all my time off-road and overloading. Made Moab three times now. Retired Marine Corps Chief Warrant Officer (that's why Gunner). Come from a Marine Family shown below with my older brother and older sister on the left, me in the middle, my wife to my right and my younger brother to the far right. Total we served 78 years for our beloved Corps.
