Lifted from their email since I saw no mention on their site: This should solve the issue with mounting extra tablets just to run the app...

Follow Up... Not finished but this was the state as of our late September trip to Utah. Swapped out all lighting for LED's, added the cooktop, 16,000 btu furnace, 50 gallon fresh/30 gallon gray/ and a shower pan/toilet combo. Tight fit but works pretty good. The insulation added really made a...

Thank you CC, our Canam outlander weights less than 800, if we ever switch to one of the polaris side by sides, I think we would then be just over 1000 pounds. I am trying to source a narrow profile water tank to put in front of the four wheeler, I've located some pricey ones with shipping...

Which brings this thread to the current status of the project. I ordered some clecos and larger rivets off of ebay and have the sheet on there with them at the moment. I should have it riveted on this weekend and hopefully onto the subfloor framing. This picture shows the color difference pretty...

I then began framing up the stud and framework for the refrigerator vent I cut the sheet after putting it back and marking the hole location

I welded in the wall with the new studs I welded up the cracked door frame, this was typical of my welds on the wall and the door frame, three passes.

I removed the old door, drilled out all the affected rivets and put the new sheet in place. The color match although noticeable, is closer than I had feared it would be. I picked up some aluminum tubing one weekday at lunch and boy is that stuff pricey.

CC thanks for the Aluminum weld history, I didn't know that. I had read where the big slideouts on aluminum trailers really compromised the rigidity of the trailers and to probably stay away from those.

once I got the spool gun in i practiced on some 1/8" scrap in the garage then finally on the actual sections of wall that i cut off and in the vertical plane as well. fwiw, you've got to really move the spool gun faster that what you're accustomed to if you haven't migged aluminum before...

One of the problems we noticed in the teardown was the old door frame had some significant cracking going on, it had not transmitted to any other framing or sheeting as of this point.

I was finally to the point were i was ready to remove the old rear escape door. I don't know why they call it that since you have to open it from the outside. I had been needing a mig welder and now i needed one i could do some decent thickness aluminum with, I found a nearly new one east of...

I measured twice and cut twice, (once on each side of the door) I put the wall back in for a test fit, i found i needed to trim the tops back a bit on each side.

Once we had the interior cleared out as far as we thought we needed it I got the angle grinder out and started cutting the Aluminum welds holding the slant wall in place. Here's the shot immediately after removing the slant wall, at this point i cleaned up and ground all the weld remnants...

A few weeks ago we got going on the tearout of the old interior. First to go was the shower and flooring. Not shown was the 20 gallon triangle shaped water tank that was nested in the back slant corner behind the shower.

Here's few shots of how the PO had the interior configured.

We started looking for a tri mode fridge that would be boondocking friendly for us and we found one about two months ago, but getting the double wide unit that we really needed for our trips meant remodeling the living quarters.

Lessons from the first trip: put the gas and diesel cans in the bed of the truck. After that first trip we also started taking an extra water tank with us. The trailer only had a 20 gallon tank and if we were very careful we could make it 4 days. I keep a 35 gallon tank at the farm for ferrying...

The first order of business was cleaning it out. We removed the stall dividers, the rear tack, and I went ahead and removed the roof hay rack. We got and used a 150 quart cooler for keeping our food cold on the trips. I put d-rings in the floor for keeping the Can am in place and put smaller d...

After talking it over with my wife we started looking at used horse trailers, we never considered a full blown toy hauler, bumper or gooseneck, I didn't like the height or the weight or the costs and depreciation I was seeing at the time. We were honestly looking for a shell trailer with no...

If this needs to be put somewhere else please do. We purchased a used Exiss XT308 with a home built living quarters three years ago and have been on three trips with it now and we finally decided to tailor it a bit more to our needs. Our first trip we used our 6x12 bumper pull with a job box...
