Fenders painted. Spare tire holder powder coated. Finished sealing the exterior. Roof rack and holder on tongue for water container left on the exterior. Hope to have it mobile in a week. Still undecided on how to finish the interior. Might keep it simple for now and live in it for a few weeks before deciding on what to do.

Solar panel installed on roof. Goal Zero boulder 100 panel. Has rc4 connectors...not supposed to...even customer support was confused. Anyways they are sending me an adapter cable (rc4 to 8 mm) so I can hook it up to the yeti battery pack.

From window was faulty and let mass water through. Pissed about that. Sealed the crap out of it with rv sealant. Likely rip it out and cover the hold with aluminum.

12 days until I leave on a 13, 000 km trip with the trailer. Inside will be left unfinished for the trip as I am out of time to finish it off. Queen mattress on the a condensation mat will have to do.

Recently got back from the 2018 Roaming Rally. This year we covered a few thousand km of trails and non paved roads in Alberta and BC. In total I put about 13,000 km on the truck and trailer in three weeks. Forests, prairies, mountains and deserts were all traversed. Trailer had zero issues. For the most part I couldn't tell it was back there other than the increase in fuel consumption. The trade off of some extra cash for gasoline was well worth the luxury of having the comfort of the trailer. The only issue encountered was burning the crap out of my brakes a few times on steep mountain trails. For sure some brakes on the trailer would have been the smart call and likely a future upgrade I'll do.View attachment 60620IMG_20180703_173730_997.jpegIMG_20180703_173128_777.jpegFB_IMG_1530650809207.jpegIMG_20180622_110130_766.jpegIMG_20180626_063804_095.jpegIMG_20180625_212648_581.jpegIMG_20180702_121109_268.jpegIMG_20180621_110502_285.jpegFB_IMG_1530053967892.jpeg
