Fiberglass units are EXTREMELY rare. If you don't want it, pls reserve it and I will make it worth your wild. But mine has been a blast to build and use. The biggest consideration is towing ability. Trust me, you'll find something to fill every inch. And soon, it's a load.

Great find. Good luck.

There's a few pics of mine on my page.

Great find and a great price.
Does it still have the truck rear end? If so change it for weight savings.
A fiberglass model is an extra bonus.
Instant camping trailer with sealed storage and areas for slide outs.

With a little work it will be a good trailer.
Loren85o22 did one and it is awesome That is your go to guy for information.

I have a ram 2500 megacab so the towing consideration isnt an issue. I did see your build would love to see more pics loren85022!! I have a Mt Ranier CVT that will get mounted on top not sure wheater or not to use the ladder rack or take it off and just mount the tent right over the bed.

No rack, just cross members to hold the tent.

Just like this..............

Once you get your tires mounted, then I'd design the upper rack to set the RTT at the desired height. I made mine so the very most rear cross member can be removed should I want to slide something tall in the rear compartment. The rack makes it easy to mount an awning. Which for us is what really makes the trailer enjoyable.

Well got her home and started on the bed portion, it was lined with 3/4 plywood that was in horid shape so i pulled it all out and started replacing the floor and will move on to the sides after that here are a few pics b4 i got it home. I will update it as i go. I also pulled off the ladder rack as it was bent up pretty good.
