Hi everyone, I"m new here and relatively new to the overlanding world. I am a college student who love to camp, hunt, fish, hike, etc. I am an animal science major hoping to go to vet school. I am hoping to use this time in my life where I have relatively little responsibilities to explore and enjoy the outdoors on a bigger level than I have before. I have some decent fab skills, including knowing how to held and owning a MIG. My goal is to build a trailer that I can keep most of my gear in and be ready to go in less than an hour of prep. I recently bought an M1101 from another member on here. He had bought lots of parts for it but had yet to put it all together. I will be using some of his ideas and also adapting many to my needs. I already have a RTT and the trailer came with one so my old one will be for sale soon.
Here are some of my ideas for the trailer:
1. Arrange water tank, heater etc on side to facilitate better gear arrangement.
2. Install plenty of dry and lockable storage space for gear.
My initial plan for this is to move the RTT all the way to the side and mount my Thule Roof Carrier box on the other side.
3. Build bed slide out. This is something I came up with and please let me know if you think it would be a bad idea but build something like a truck bed slideout for the trailer. That way it would be easier to access totes, coolers, etc in trailer when setting up camp. It would also serve the dual purpose of a table once trailer was unloaded. I would obviosly put jacks on the back of the trailer in order to keep the tongue from coming up when the slide out is deployed.
4. Paint, I would like to paint it a color other than tan. I've applied bedliner to my jeep tub so maybe something like that to at least the inside.
Stuff I have pertaining to build:
'04 Suburban
'99 Wrangler 4.0 straight 6
M1101
ARB Simpson III with annex
Yakima Skyrise 3 (FOR SALE)
Thule Roof Box
16 gallon H20 tank with pump.
Propane powered tankless H20 heater
