Thanks nwoods! I actually have a 21 cu ft skybox that I may end up using this time around.. If I use it something will have to go. 6 people plus camping gear requires some space and I really enjoy the 60L arb so that hogs some room too. I'd also like to have a little more space volume so we can...

BajaRack - Self Weight 90lbs, 300 lbs dynamic load rating = 390 lbs Approx 150 lbs empty leaves 250 lbs gear and I don't think I'll put anywhere near that much weight up there. Not suggesting aftermarket suppliers are benchmark but thought was interesting. It'll be important to watch the roof...

Thanks for the suggestion on fiberglass cowling. I guess I picked aluminum for rigidity and familiarity (to me). I also need box sides for stacking goods rather than cowling. I really do appreciate the feedback!

Hello everyone. I'm getting ready to order some lasered and bent aluminum sheetmetal for this storage box. I was considering making more than one (or maybe just the un-welded aluminum components) to spread the love on setup costs. This will provide roughly 30-32 cubic feet of roof storage and...

Hi Troy, Sounds like a challenge... What's small and what is large? I'm looking to build a compact hardside that doubles in size.

Anyway like you said TroySmith80, why no 180 fold tent trailers in US? I really like the Trayon style.

Yes bears. I think a lot of people prefer the safety of a hard side. What if the tub was high enough? And what would be high enough for people to feel comfortable?

I am in the manufacturing business and develop new products for a living. I'm also a huge adventure camping enthusiast. I also have a wife and 4 children. I also am a minimalist. So... I completely agree with you and have contemplated the same. There is no other system other than this style of...

Did you decide on one? What is your budget?

Thanks everyone! I ended up getting this one... https://www.renogy.com/renogy-100w-12v/starter-kit/ I'll be installing on the 4th!

Thanks basso! I know a 100 watt panel will do it, and a 150ish if I can fit is just that much better. So what's a good panel, charge controller etc to get it done if anyone has a suggested solution that'd be just awesome, awesome , awesome!! Thanks again bbasso!

Hey guys. I want a solar backup to keep my 100? AH deep cycle battery topped off while running my fridge. I'd like to mount a 100-150w panel to Yakima rack and only have about 18 inches of width left on the rack next to the large Thule space case. Can any of you make this real easy for me and...

I'm looking to do the same behind a 100 series. I'm in design stage. Maybe I should build two! http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/170799-Hard-Side-Four-Season-Trailer

Dan, Thanks for pointing me to Coyote's build! Coyote, Really nice work! It certainly doesn't look homemade... I got a charge out of your girlfriend mentioning that! :) I'm guessing that honeycomb would work on aluminium skins.?
