Hey Kent. I think with all the gear it weighs about 1400lbs.
When you get done I would really like to know how much it weighs. Very nice!

That's pretty good. My XVenture trailer weighs 1200lbs empty!Hey Kent. I think with all the gear it weighs about 1400lbs.
Thanks Bouncer, I will put more pictures up this afternoon. Still very much a work in progress! Just couldn't justify $15k for an offroad trailer/teardrop! Turned out toWOW This is a great option. I thought I always wanted an offroad pop up style, until I saw this. This is clean. More Pictures!!!
The axle is a Dexter Torsion Axle, and allows full clearance. Doesn't hang down at all. The margins are pretty slim, but I haven't rubbed the tires on the fenders yet. I actually installed that tongue box last week. I will update the pics this afternoon. Planning on maybe housing a bigger deep cycle battery in there with the controller and charger. I am running a GoalZero Yet 400 battery now, but I will likely need MORE POWER!That's pretty good. My XVenture trailer weighs 1200lbs empty!
Looks like you flipped the axle for more clearance? Any probs with the tires you have rubbing?
It's an awesome looking setup and I hope you post more about the back end kitchen deal, and the interior as well. Looks like you have room on the tongue for one of the angled nose boxes like you see at Harbor Freight to put batteries and solar charge controller, etc in.

Cool - I have a Dexter torsion axle under my XV-2 and love it. Having that under your taller trailer will really help in it not leaning as much one way or the other when coming across obstacles.Thanks Bouncer, I will put more pictures up this afternoon.

Which ZAMP controller are you using? What solar panels?Cool - I have a Dexter torsion axle under my XV-2 and love it. Having that under your taller trailer will really help in it not leaning as much one way or the other when coming across obstacles.
I have dual Odyssey deep cycle batteries in my nose box with a Zamp solar charge controller and love that set up. too. The Zamp has readouts with figures, not just colored lights or bar graphs like some have, which I've found really helpful too.
Looking forward to more images. Lots of room in there!

I have a Zamp ZS-15AW Solar Controller/Battery Charger. From their site: "Digital Deluxe 5 Stage 15 Amp PWM Solar Charge Controller uses a large digital display showing volts, amps and amp over a period of time while LED lights show charging status and battery condition."Which ZAMP controller are you using? What solar panels?

Total greatness and lovin the Moose Head......View attachment 50769 View attachment 50766 View attachment 50768 Just building/testing my new trailer. Started as a 5x10 cargo trailer. Wanted a box that I could run an A/C in (Texas Summers). Still playing with the solar/power set-up.
I just want to go to where your picture is :)@Road thanks for the detailed response about the Xventrure trailer. My comparison of it to the other two brands was one of style and not quality/capability. I do like the Xventure as well.

Ok so this is my 1st post here, so be gentle. ;)
Here is my first Overland Adventure Trailer. It is a 2015 Panther Trailers 5x10 body with a front "porch" deck that also carries my ATV to off grid adventures. Hope you guys/dolls like it.

There are some crazy good trailers out there. We have put about 30,000 miles on this rig after we built it. did the design myself, did a lot of research first.
