We take ours out quite often and love this trailer. If you’re gonna use it then it’s totally worth it. Built like a tank. I researched them all and seen them in person. Didn’t feel any were built like this one. We’ve had it almost a year and zero regrets. If you have Instagram you can see all the places we have used it. @tkmadventures Also. Customer service has been excellent.Hi. I've been looking at these as well. Now that you've taken the plunge - do you feel you got your money's worth?

That's an awesome looking trailer! How do you raise and lower the rtt? As steady as on top of the ride? I have my eyes on one but don't have any parking space, truly sucks.I have a homemade trailer made out of a Caltrans sign trailer. It has jeep leaf springs, custom shackles, fox shocks, max coupler hitch, 35 inch mud tires with scs rims, rhino rack foxwing awning, tepui grand sabana, a road shower, and lots of storage space.
Great advice! Thanks!Lease let me say this about that, if you guys are buying your trailer and have the cash, glad for it, if you are building your own rig, keep in mind these little things, your base platform, no wider than your tow vehicle, be cautious of the weight of the rig, TARE the weight of the rig with nothing on board. The axle, here's the key. You do not necessarily need a 3500 pound axle, unless you're hauling elephants, t just adds weight, electric brakes ? Lots of rocks and downhills in the future, nice thing to have. 12 volt power, solar panel@ 100w or more. Stove, The Coleman is a great buy, if you are at altitude, reconsider, propane is regulated and doesn't burn as hot . Look at the high altitude stoves, a bit pricey, but well worth the effort, RTT, we all need then, keep the rack at least 40 inches off the deck (ground) any lower the bears will visit. I've had it happen. Read up on tent specs before purchasing they vary . I've built 4 units for my friends as well as my own, the (Towd) pictured below start to finish, made several mods, pulled it thru the Rubicon trail 6 times with minor scratches only,
The fit and finish of the production trailers is beautiful, however rocks don't care, nor do trees. Use simple material 16 ga, max, 3/16, frame box or channel, you don't need the heaviest dog on the trail to have fun,

How do you like that slide out? Is there a manufacturer name on it?Just picked up the Echo Tec5 which is made in South Africa. Looking forward to heading out to the wilds with it. Anyone have experience with this brand/model?
