    my supercooler build; a cube inside a cube

    DAY ONE, FORMING THE IDEA: Been thinking about coolers: including rotomolded coolers, 12vdc/120vac vehicle specific coolers, and even dorm fridge/freezers, that would fit into my trailer's "galley", without re-doing everything. But, for cheap, as is usually my preference. I've looked everywhere...

    which is better? trailer tongue height raised by axle flip, or drop shank on truck?

    It's been 4 years since I got my trailer on the road, after 2 build years. I'm still modifying, strengthening, adding more "must-haves", even today. Still haven't sold my Chevelle to finance a 4wd, which will be the intended tow vehicle, so I can finally set the trailer ride height and level out...

    trailer front rack; using non-standard materials for purpose-built functions

    I'm having a storage problem, trying to get my squareback trailer ready-to-go with all my gear stowed in advance. I have waterproof/critter proof storage boxes that i can throw into my truck bed at a moments notice, containing pantry, EDC gear (just in case my trailer fails me), and...

    front hitch substitute; front frame rail (tow hook removed) 99-06 Chevy Silverado

    About three years ago, I made a weird front trailer pushbar (as an experiment, a welding practice piece, and a back-saving device), I never did get around to buying a factory - made front receiver hitch. I haven't used the trailer much since, nor had to move it a lot, either, but it still saved...

    Round fenders need flares; Flexy Flares?no, I made my own!

    I saw a couple of threads concerning adding extension flares recently, but no one says if they used Pacer Performance Flexy Flares or not. One thread had Jeep type fenders, and the other had a military trailer with no fenders, just needed a n extending lip to attach to the tub. I have rounded...

    softroad & highway trailer tires: ST bias-ply vs radial, or LT tire for 14" wheel Just needing to mull over something; comments requested! After a year+ of no trips to the great outdoors (no, I wasn't jailed, just wore out), I'm starting to again prepare my squareback/teardrop for...

    Cost of equipment: then and now (CB, Ham, etc.) what did you pay?

    I was posting (in tablets, GPS) info on a tablet mount that I hobbled together, including pics of my CB mount, when I was trying to remember how I started out with radio back in 1975. Also, on another forum (TnTTT), I was relating my desire to get into Ham radio, at long last, after thinking...

    Awning, pop-up canopy, tents, or plain ole tarps for off-road/camping? Preferences?

    Haven't camped much with my trailer yet, nor have gone off-road either, but I'm preparing to be able to take quick trips with little prep. I'm experimenting with set-up and take-down of various pieces of gear I thought I might need in the future, and am divesting myself of things I don't...

    my first build: 4x8 heavy-weight, with generator, A/C inside...now to begin using it!

    Howdy.This is my first post here, after lurking for years here and at another site http://www.tnttt.com, at which I lurked, later joined 2.8 years ago. Actually, I lurked here first, getting ideas about creating a folding plywood base for my wife's tent. She, younger than me by 14 years, is a...
