bump. price drop to 12k

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 QDII V8 Hemi EXTREMELY rare for CA located in Camarillo, CA 93012 asking 13k This is my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I am the second owner. I purchased this in 2011 in Indiana. It was the closest place that I could find a fully loaded overland with the...

The trailer looks awesome. How was the road down to the hotsprings? I haven't been down there in a year or so. Middle ynez campground is one of my favorite places to take my teardrop. Its close to home but feels like a million miles away.

Im looking for some push button catches or some sort of locking latch for the cabinets in my teardrop. iThe cabinets are self closing with magnets which have been fine for basic forest roads but after a few days on the mojave road everything out of the cabinets flew out and I broke one of the...

Didnt take long for people to spot it on the road. This picture was taken from a facebook group that posts unique vehicles they see in traffic. It was posted yesterday

im using the Tekonsha 90195 P3 for my teardrop with electric brakes. Trying to find a place to mount the controller where its not super obnoxious is the hardest part.

someone else built our custom teardrop originally but i've been adding on to it. Im 6'5 and big. We have a queen size bed and its great. It fits both my girlfriend and I and is more comfortable than my bed at home. The head height in our trailer is pretty high and if i were to redesign id...

Its got 3/8" SMC electric valves that i can control from the switch panel on the front of the tool box at the front of the trailer. It connects to the air compressor and air tank on the front of the trailer. I had the stuff already from a previous project car so i figured id throw it on. I do...

Trip Report: I went to Orcas Island up in North West Washington a few weeks ago. It was for an event called Toorcamp which is essentially summer camp for computer geeks. Its an excellent event that happens every other year somewhere in Washington. Heres some pictures of our camp with my setup...

I would have probably gone that route to a point. I wanted the wider trailer to fit the bigger bed since im pretty big. But i would have liked the track width to be a little closer to the tow vehicle. Im not an expert in trailer construction but id assume the the wider track makes it more stable...

I wouldn't say i have any regrets. most of the things are known trade offs. ie. towing something vs. rooftop tent vs motorhome vs tent. I choose the teardrop because it is self contained. quick setup, the majority of my camping gear all stays in 1 place. When camping we like to spend the...

depends what you are getting for 10k. is that a fully stripped teardrop? ie. does it come with a fridge or other accessories or is it just a wood box on wheels. is that anything that is a major turnoff that you cannot change reality easily. I bought a used teardrop that was based off a socal...

not too concerned. The manufacturer for the bunduawn suggests mounting at 2 points no more than 18 inches from the ends. The roof rack is super solid. Its got cross bars and is bolted through the side of the trailer which is a total of 1.5" of solid plywood. I think the trailer would probably...

Tested it out at Carpenteria state Beach this weekend. Had some pretty good winds and both awnings stood up well. I've see a mod for the bunduawn to attach poles which i may do if it got any windier. I've had the hannibal for a awhile and its great. Its nice to have it on the trailer though. Its...

I designed a roof rack for the trailer and finally had it built. Its main purpose will be to hold 2 awnings. I have a hannibal awning on my jeep that is going to get moved to one side of the trailer. It has side walls so it will make a nice quick deploying private room. The other 3 sides is...
