Currently my trailer is on jack stands, getting an axle upgrade. Swapping a 2k axle for a 3.5k brake axle. Photo is what it should look like and close to the height. Picking up axle Friday.

Our homebuilt trailer from an old vet box that was normally fitted for a pick up truck. Still a work in progress :) Has a cargo area in the front section with 4 drawers in the rear with a tailgate. 12V power source built in tongue box with interior and exterior spot lights. Will replace the pull out grill with something more suitable for camping (the Coleman was set up for a quick weekend trip test run).

I've been taking photo's of the build and plan on adding to the trailer DIY section. I'll update this post once I have them uploaded

Thanks! Yes, the tongue box has a 12V power supply with a 110 converter. It helps power the Engel Fridge/freezer as well as both a 12v socket and USB chargers (where those 2 holes were in the pic) . There is also LED lighting on each lift hatch. If you google Porta-Vet you can see how these are built for mobile Vet use.

Awesome! I’ve seen videos of those they look bad ass!
I think the walk in style of trailer is for me and my wife now. We are getting too old climbing up and down ladders of roof top tents at 2 in the morning. Plus we can now have heat in the winter. Old bones I guess.....

2021 Runaway Venturist all composite. Full steel tube frame, Timbren axles with brakes. fully customized to fit our needs.
Love it!
Nice Rig! We have one order. So excited to get it set up :smiley: Do you have any idea the distance between the bottom of the ac unit to the trailer frame? We are deciding on what kind of box set up we are going to create. Thanks!
