The kitchen side - there is a 270 deg awning but didn't need it at this camp.

Wow, this is unique by my standards. If I had your rig I would never go home. :-)
I put my build pics in the build forum, but here's my newly refurbished, upgraded, home-built overland trailer.
Yes, I love camo!

Pretty compact. 11’ long trailer. Made by imaginetrailvans.com in Africa. I imported one back in 2016. Averaging 50 nights per year in it. Solar panel is removable to track sun all day. two double beds pop out front and right. top pops up. I normally just run with the batwing awning (NOT...
I am not sure what that is, but mine is an M100 WWII vintage tub I found in an apple orchard decades ago.

The original. Dinoot makes fiberglass tubs of that style.

I know where that spot it. The wind can get whipping in the afternoons. Have you any experience with the wind walls? If so. how do they hold up? Steaking down tents and guy lines is a challenge in that area with nothing but granite slabs everywhere.
Care to share what cots you use for the kids? We have the discobed bunkbed style camp cots but they're so bulky and heavy I usually just set up 1 and put the kids up top with mom. Looking for a faster setup and breakdown cot solution for the kids.

If you have the budget for it, look at the Helinox cot series. They are pricey but their stuff is well made and very lightweight

Built this one in 2015. We love travelling in it, Been all over US, Canada, Alaska. It is fun having a home built trailer, you know how to fix what breaks. Still have it.

very cool. I built my teardrop in 2008, and have pulled it a lot of places, including Wyoming twice.

Sorry I'm sooooo late to the conversation. I just joined a couple of days ago. I started from the beginning of the thread and working up to present day. If you placed more pic's of The Escape Pod, I hope you shared them. I'll get to them in a bit.
I am looking at the Timbren 3500HD to convert a 5x8 utility trailer from Lowes that I've had for my 4 wheeler. I still want to use the trailer for the 4 wheeler and riding mower, but also build up the sides and use cross rails so I can put my CVT Mt. Shasta on it. I am running the 285/75r16's on my rig and would like to do the same on the trailer. What hubs did you use? I have the 5x120 lug pattern on my Land Rover. I figured the build would be cheaper than buying new. Also, I haven't seen anything that can accommodate the 4 wheeler/riding mower.
