    Sasquatch Expedition Campers - Owners Thread

    Taking the trailer hunting this season. Just installed a safety flag to make my camp more visible. Figure I can’t be too cautious on public lands. Uses an air chuck like connector. Only have 6 of the 9’ in photo. I’ll see if ai want more once the tent is deployed.

    picked up my Eezi-Awn shower skirt from Equipt during Cruiser Fest. Install was very easy but disappointed the door is on the right side. All the photos show it on the left. Access is tight but works. Would have been better at the front of the trailer. Three walls allow full access to the...

    Pulling a Heavy Trailer Offroad - A Good Tow Vehicle

    More a lack of traction in the sand. The photo does not do the creek bank justice on how steep/high it was. Both Cruisers are on 37’s mine is turbo’ed and the recovery truck has a LS conversion. Took 3 attempts to recovery leading up to full wide open throttle of both to get out. Wheeling with...

    Pulling a Heavy Trailer Offroad - A Good Tow Vehicle

    Pick a diesel truck you like then invest in a large recovery kit, avoid traveling solo over difficult terrain. I don’t tow anything that heavy but have a couple trailers that see offroad duties behind a LandCruiser. It’s way easier to get stuck and much harder to unstuck. Especially solo. You...

    Kass sent me a battery solution. Pretty simple and should do the trick. Aluminum pieces of angle with hardware and some little pads on the battery side. Installed them this evening for the weekend.

    No, but shifted a couple of inches. He is working on a solution. I suspect me submerging the trailer wheels numerous times with it connected to the truck contributed to the short but haven’t dug into it yet. A quick Google search recommends disconnecting the electrical on boat trailers at...

    Just returned from my first wheeling trip with the Smuggler. It towed and tracked behind my 80 series wonderfully. The battery did move laterally and nearly grounded out on the hold down strap. So some additional brackets will be required. The emergency brake handle contacts my spare tire...

    My 1Up is a double. Don’t ever plan to add more. My wife does not ride. Just my son and I. I think you’ll love the trailer. With a highlander you could always put bikes on the roof.

    The Sasquatch receiver has a steel sleeve inside the aluminum square boxed material welded to the swing arm. My plan is to replace that steel sleeve with a slightly longer piece. In all reality it doesn’t really matter though. If I’m not carrying bikes I don’t want the 1Up on the trailer anyway...

    Finally got out on a shake down trip to Moab. Primarily to MTB with my son. Super happy with the camper. At this point I’m working out organizational systems to keep everything tidy. We had a pretty big pile of gear in the main cargo hold. Kitchen worked good. Only issue we had was a ton of...

    Bike rack sourced. 1Up HD model. Nothing to add, everyone who owns bikes knows what it is. Only downside is that it will not fold into the full vertical storage position. It contacts the spare tire. If the Sasquatch receiver was 1-2” longer that issue would be resolved along with making...

    Elephant Hill / Needles: Advice on Rig (Tacoma)?

    The only issue I recall when I ran it was due to rain. On our way out we got wet and I was tail gunning. As the other trucks pulled sand up on the slick rock features ahead of me it acted like little ball bearing when I climbed the steep faces. I ended up locking my axles and still had some...

    Thanks to Cyber Monday a 200w suitcase style solar panel has been sourced. As well as a solar controller. Wiring supplies were not on sale so I’ll source those later and write a post on the controller install at that time.

    Got my truck mobile again and flipped the trailer coupler 180° to eliminate the need for a 7 3/4" drop hitch. My truck on 37's sits higher than average. Not parked on completely level ground but I think the trailer is sitting level with the truck. I sold the 23Zero tent and moved my larger...
