Bumping this - it's still for sale.

We've got an M416 trailer with a large Roam RTT for sale - works fine, but we realized we're not using it for what it's intended for and got a different trailer that better suits our needs. Because of that, it's time to let this one go. Some details about it - we didn't build this, but...

What's the current weight? I ask because I'm after something that has the camper and can still tow a Jeep Unlimited on a trailer behind it, with everything we'd want to take on trips.

18RV&TT_Ford_F150_Oct9.pdf Assuming that opens up properly that'll give the general specs on tow capacity and all. I'm still, however, struggling to get the GCWR for the truck. My goal is to have a flatbed FWC and tow my Jeep on an aluminum flatbed trailer. With that I'll need somewhere...

What's the GVWR and GCWR on it? I see you've got it weighing in at 17K, so those would be of interest to me. And does it have an engine brake?

Would it be possible to get some pics of the tent sitting on the trailer in a closed position and open position? You've got detail shots here, but nothing that gives me an overall impression of what it looks like.

I wonder if a rotozip or other cutting bit on a router might work a bit better? Based on the jig you set up, I'm betting you could build something to work well with the router, which gives you a de facto fence, 90° and 22.5° cuts precisely.

Hefty's stuff is great - hard to find sliders more solid than his.

First off, props to you for keeping this thread going. I wish more folks were able to give you quality answers, but sometimes rarer vehicles like these don't have huge followings. I'm in a similar boat with the RV we own - a Freightliner Bounty Hunter diesel toyhauler. Very niche. Every...

I've noticed a few different trailers out there without propane. I think it's starting to get easier to do as solar becomes more efficient and less expensive. There's the upfront battery investment, but an efficient electric cooktop could work. Plus, depending on where one's at, there's the...

This won't help with the wiring, but I'd suggest having the batteries somewhat accessible. I've got an RV and live in the north, so I've got to winterproof the thing every year. My batteries (four rather large wet batteries) sit in a tray in front of the engine (Class A diesel, but the engine...

I ran an M416 with a pintle hitch and yes, there was some occasional noise (I had an RTT on it along with some camp gear, nothing particularly heavy) but I loved it off road. I pulled it through Lockhart Basin and remember coming down many a ledge. I'd look in my rear view mirror and see the...

If you were willing to live with a slightly longer trailer, you wouldn't even have to redo the cabover. Build something there for storage - toys, gear, etc.

I believe the engine in here is pretty much a standard CAT engine, so most diesel shops familiar with them can do engine work. Tranny is an Allison, no? That doesn't mean there aren't issues elsewhere (wiring is a combo of 24v and 12v, IIRC, hydraulics for the cabover, etc), but at least much...

I hadn't heard of the Maslow router - that seems very neat. I can see all sorts of applications for something like that. Because I don't have enough expensive hobbies already...

I think the flex is more of an off-road thing. If you're only planning on regular roads and maybe nicely-maintained dirt roads, it's probably not an issue. If you want to hit actual trails and poorly-maintained FS roads, you'll probably want to incorporate some level of subframe. That could be...

I just saw someone doing a tour of one. As I recall, they're damned light. That puts it well within a Taco's capacity (especially if you upgrade the suspension a bit). My take on them is they're basically a pretty fancy tent. Given the small size and the R5 insulation value, it'll be easy...
