2014 Turtleback Expedition camp trailer
Location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
$17,000
For sale is the Turtleback I purchased in 2016 from the original owner. I am changing jobs and will no longer have unlimited free storage space or flexibility to take expedition-length trips. Rather than have the trailer sit outside, I am passing it along to the next enthusiast. I have kept the trailer stored in my garage or in covered parking at my office.
The upgrades I’ve made are the result of a number of small trips and two epic, multi-week trips I’ve been lucky to make:
• 2016– Atlanta to Montreal, NY, VT, NH, ME, ending at Outer Banks of North Carolina
• 2017– Atlanta to Four Corners to Moab, Moab to Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs to Ouray, Ouray to Atlanta
Upgrades/Included accessories:
• 23 Zero Sydney 2200 rooftop tent with fully enclosed annex room, 3 inch high destiny mattress, removable rain fly, true sky-view ceiling panels for star gazing, dual ladders (Sleeping area 87" wide x 96" long (11” wider & 16” longer than a king size bed); awning footprint 89” wide x 98" deep)
• Custom aluminum articulating roof rack with gas struts for lift assistance & e-track for securing tent while raised or stowed (RTT stows to height of ___ on 35” tires, raises to give +/-77” clear height in annex)
• FrontierPlay Aluminum Kitchen Dry Storage Box (38”x13”x18” – fits nicely in main cargo area; upgraded with wheels on one end to facilitate loading)
• Two cedar platforms that form the base of the main cargo area and can be used under ladders in annex to protect the floor from puncture)
• 4-gallon Rotopax
• Nose box keyed to match other doors
• Max Coupler
• Custom tailgate – stainless Turtleback table, Rotopax mount, 2” receiver tube for bike rack (no unloading bikes necessary to access kitchen), De-Sta-Co latches at top edges (carries 35” spare, not included in sale; original Turtleback tailgate design failed due to weight of tire-mounted bicycle rack)
• BAL 23231 “C jacks” stabilizing outriggers (2 front, 1 rear; 3.000 lb capacity each)
• New 3-meter stainless steel shower hose (longer & more flexible than stock plastic hose)
• Turtleback custom stainless steel adjustable height awning brackets (included but not installed)
• Prodigy wireless trailer brake controller
