Great job. I'd love to see some pics of what you did to the center section when you get time. I've never been happy with mine and will happily steal a better idea. :)

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing if you can come up with some better ideas for anchoring the center section. I need to get busy building my rack!

Nice job on the trailer! What are those legs you have to support the rear?

That might work depending on the dimensions. If you can find a piece that has similar depth and width to a bed rail such that the jaw of the clamp sits full within the channel it would work a lot better than the L angle I used. I haven't had any issues (yet), but I may experiment now that the...

They have a specific M101A3 cover. I believe it started out life as a 70's era Dodge Ram cover. The actual part number is "M101A3-SELX".

I like having the secure top, but as with anything there are compromises - especially as I design a roof top tent rack. Depending on your lid style, you may be limited to only hauling things that fit under it. I can remove my hinged panels, but for camping I just put the one cooler that was...

You're absolutely right, people are idiots and you will never stop that. Just because the building code specifically forbids it, doesn't mean people won't do it. And just because PVC isn't rated for compressed gases doesn't mean it won't hold.

Max operating pressure for fluid or gas? I have never seen a pipe manufacturer recommend compressed air (or any gas) in PVC or CPVC. In fact they strongly advise against using PVC for compressed gases.

Compressed air + PVC = bad idea!!! PVC is not rated for pressurized gases.

Makes sense. I'll see if can come up with something similar and see if it can be beefy enough to support the load. Thanks.

Not sure what the horizontal vee looks like - can you link a description or picture? The Goshen, Coleman, and Jayco winch and cable systems used in many pop-up tents are probably a bit too complex for an RTT setup and would have to be beefed up considerably to hold 150 lbs of tent and 400 or...

Thanks for the advice - you guys all have threads I've been following and getting ideas from so it is much appreciated. While the rear mount works for the camping we normally do, the more I thought about blocking the tailgate the more I realized we may camp other places where I would want that...

Do you guys think the weight distribution will be an issue with most of the tent weight (option 3) being aft of the axle? I don't want the tail wagging the dog, although I can probably compensate by loading the heavy gear in the front of the trailer.

Need some help deciding on a direction for the rack. We've decided on the CVT Mt. Rainier RTT because of it's size and the annex/changing room. I don't think we'll go bigger and if I build the rack for this, anything smaller would be fine. I have a couple of options I drew up: 1) RTT opens...

And the most important modification to date:

Took our first camping trip with the trailer this past Sunday through Wednesday. The trailer was completely full with most of the heavy items ahead of the axle. This definitely weighed the front down along with the rear of my truck (may need to raise the pintle a bit to compensate). We went...
