Is there a custom corner strip to cover the seems?
It looks very professional, How does it pull?

Yes there are more bits and pieces. The corners are aluminum strips with screw holes and slots for a rubber screw cover. I also bought awning strips for both sides. I won't have it done for the weekend so it will sit in the driveway and get rained on. But at least I didn't have to put the plastic back on.

I took it to the scale the other day and it did well. I stayed under 40 because the tires are so bad and I didnt want to blow them so I don't know how it pulls at speed with the draw bars on.

Thanks Mark! There is trim for the edges front and back that does go over the roof. And a awning edge for the side edges of the roof.
I took it out today and made a few dollars. I learned so much building it and I plan on building another some day. I decided I don't really like the jeep trailer so it is for sale. I sold the M416 because I knew it really wasn't what I wanted without a lot of modification and rebuilding. I have learned between the 2 builds that for me I can't make the trailer fit the gear. I have to collect up most of the gear that I want to carry in the containers I want to store the gear in then build the trailer. I will have the ARB fridge/freezer some day, maybe not before I build the next jeep trailer build though because they are so expensive.

I have the Jeep trailer listed for sale on Craigslist and I had an offer on the it yesterday. I was offered a straight up trade for a nice little enclosed trailer. The odd thing is the guy offered the trailer and "some" cash but then withdrew the cash offer and wanted to trade straight up after I said I would go 500 cash and his trailer. I do not have it listed as barter or trade. The guy in my opinion was pretty bold to ask me to trade in the first place then the way I read the texts he got offended when I said from the pictures I only saw 900 to 1200 of value in the trailer depending on how long I wanted to sit on the trailer and find the right buyer. Then told me that just because I was asking 2k for mine didn’t mean it was worth that much. We ended up not doing the trade but you cant blame the guy for trying.
1 Was the guy out of line for expecting to get what he wanted leaving me to make the sale on his trailer to get the needed cash?
2 Or was I wrong for rejecting the trade because I need the cash to continue other projects.
As he pointed out my trailer isn't worth 2k and I'm not attached to it so what do you guys that watched me build it think it is worth? I have all the receipts so I know how much the material cost but what is my time worth on top of those receipts?

Cash talks BS walks.
No trades you can find good stuff on your own.
The Market trailer looks cool. Will there be bunks too?
What do you specialize in? I love junk and Flea markets.

Mark I have crazy junk. The power supply from the pop up, breaker box, all kinds of this and that bits here and there. I cleaned part of my garage and filled 2 bins and put them out on the table tonight. I got tired of all these small tongs that were just possessions clutering up my space. I started off selling stuff I would have just given away now I'm evaluating does this item fill a need or better my life. That's why the trailer is for sale.
