Maiden Voyage Got a chance to take the trailer out for a short trip. No issues with stability on the road and tows like its not there. Everything worked like it was supposed to and my son and I had it set up and ready in just a few minutes including the hot water heater and kitchen with...

Detail photos Here are some jack specific photos-stowed, deployed, detail of attached nut, front jack and trailer set up. Very stable with the RTT. I was very concerned with stability as the sleeping platform is over 6' off the ground.:Wow1:

lighting One of the best sites I've found for LED lighting: http://www.superbrightleds.com/ I use the rigid strip lights for under our awning and small dome lights inside enclosed spaces...

Trailer jacks I also went with a crank down trailer jack-two in rear and one in front. I cut off the handles and welded 3/4" nuts in their place for use with a cross style lug wrench or small drill driver with socket. I installed a second mounting bracket up high to relocate the jacks when in...

I worked on the same idea for awhile, but settled on four. One issue was load capacity; I wanted more capacity than the baseline rating of 400# (200# each); the other was frame design as I would have still had four legs, but probably would have added a central leg plus the actuators in the...

Actuators The linear actuators are from Firgelli Automations. They are rated at 200# and have 24" of stroke. http://www.firgelliauto.com/product_info.php?cPath=90&products_id=5 I used the brackets that match and welded them to the frame and platform...

More pics Here are some details: I used uni-strut for tent frame posts. Slides easily in 2" sq tube; water pump and 15 gal tank provide water for hot water heater at front and kitchen sprayer at kitchen. Jacks mount high for travel; low for camp-I cut off handles and welded 3/4" nuts for...

After all the inspiration found here and on ih8mud, we have decided to take our little M716 trailer and upgrade it to a full offroad, expedition worthy trailer. Two main inspirations: Australian camp trailer designs, especially: http://www.drifta.com.au/CapeYorkTourer.php and this...
