Thanks! I wanted to make something a bit different. I may be selling it within a month or so. Just got it towed to my new place, so I'll be finishing it then selling it. Off the top of my head I have about $3,000 in parts and materials. I have all the receipts I need to go through and add everything up.

Thanks. Yeah, that's the nice part about a trailer. When your done just park it.

I towed my trailer back with me from AZ yesterday. The trailer towed awesome and I did a small test run down a power line road. Most of the trip I forgot I was even towing anything. Now its to getting it finished up, now that I'll have it near by. Thanks to Dave Druck for helping with a Lock and Roll so I could get the trailer towed here.

schanusa · 07-02-2012, 10:20 PM

Got the kick-out's finished up today.

schanusa · 07-16-2012, 11:59 AM

Trailer nearly complete. Fenders, tongue box, fridge and electrical all installed. All that's needed is tie downs and fuel can holders.

**88_Eddie** · 07-16-2012, 12:05 PM

looks good, some interesting tires there, what kind?

schanusa · 07-16-2012, 12:05 PM

Test run.

schanusa · 07-16-2012, 12:22 PM

So far I have about 1000 miles on the trailer, both on and off road. I'm definitely happy with the prototype. Yep, we're gearing up to manufacture these trailers. We're also working on a new trailer coupler. More on that after some extensive testing.

Thanks! The tires are Maxxis big horns that have been grooved. They are take offs from a prolite in LOORRS

I went for a larger tongue box for extra storage of dirty gear for items such as fire wood, wheel chocks and chairs. This is also where the deep cycle battery and power systems are placed.

40 Liter Fridge/Freezer

I placed two power boxes. On on the left for a auxiliary plug for a light or charge phones, etc. 30 Amp fused link.

On the right is the power for the fridge.
