It is still a bit light in the front but pulls nicely. My plan is to build a trailer tongue box that will go over the bike rack attachment.

We can make the tongue a bit shorter. It's at the long position in the pix.

I haven't had time to give any updates on the build, but there it is. Took it on some pretty rough Oregon trails and performed great. We love the large CVT RTT. I still have a few mods / improvements to make.

I looked at your build thread and I see that you don't have the actuators installed yet. What's your plan? 4 actuators at each corners connected to single switch. Battery powered? Secured in up / down positions with pins? What actuators did you order? Thanks

I like your design. More pix and maybe a simple schematic diagram would be appreciated. Any issues with the whole system rattling in the upper position when you are in the RTT? Does the water that seeps through where the 2 tubings meet drains at the bottom of the lower tube?

Any issues with the actuators being exposed to rain?

Thanks all for your help. I am leaning towards the gas springs system inside the tubing because of simplicity and protection from the environment.

I found this one in Calgary for 2k...not bad when you consider that the cheap Crappy Tire trailers go foe 1500$

Eventually planning on changing the axel with electric brake and match the 4Runner wheels. Will prob have to modify the suspension too as it has 3/4 ton capacity and once build will never come close to that weight. The longer tongue also improved highway speed tracking.

I am looking for options on how to lift and lower the yet to be built roof rack of my trailer. I need about 1' to 1.5' lift. Gas struts or linear actuators? Design... I remember seeing a gas strut design on this forum not too long ago but can't find. Thanks for the help.

Here's a little update on the build. After sandblast, primer and bedliner. Side cargo door cutout. Extendable trailer tongue. Swivel trailer jack with original Sankey jack.

Built update: ready for skin with checkered aluminum sheet.

Meatblanket, the white lights are reversing lights. I sadly decided to switch the wiring to North American standard because of functionality. I saw that you are giving on gas springs. Could you send me a picture of the gas spring installation and the specs? That would be a good starting point...

Barrybazz, Thanks for info. I'll check it out

Changing the wiring, but keeping the lights. Are you looking for parts?

I really like the size of the Sankey as it falls somewhere between the M416 and the M101. It is also built like a brick sh... house.

Rear end of the Sankey. The lid on the picture is gone. It was fibreglass and not totally weatherproofed.

I'd like to start by letting you know that I'm new to this forum and will be looking for advices, ideas, encouragements... I was lucky to locally purchase a Sankey trailer in great shape which I am planning (with my lovely wife's permission) to turn into a camping rig capable of following my...
