Greetings Expeditioners!
After years of enjoyment, I am putting my custom built expedition trailer up for sale.
For those interested in the details, here is the build thread: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/152895-Ultra-light-Expedition-Trailer
Here are some additional photos, including the build pictures: https://www.facebook.com/mrblacksemail/media_set?set=a.10101180369008391.1073741835.55003586&type=3
The short version of what's up for sale:
The trailer was built as an ultra-light camp trailer to be towed behind a 4 cylinder car. Our mk4 Jetta diesel has towed this trailer to the west coast and back, averaging 40mpgs at 70mph. Without the trailer we average 50mpgs, as a reference. The trailer can be EASILY moved by hand and behaves so well behind the car I forget it's there. In essence, this trailer was created to be the ultimate road-trip companion. It's as at home being towed up a tight mountain pass as it is doing 70mph for days on the interstate heading to every national park in the country.
Features:
Rooftop tent by Mombasa that has been tediously cared for
Full electrical system, including automotive battery, battery charger, 2 exterior outlets wired to a 1000w inverter, 10w solar panel.
LED trailer lights wired for either 4-wire flat or 7-blade RV style plug
LED lighting for main storage compartment
Coleman camp stove
3 folding tongue jacks to level trailer on any surface. 1 on front, 2 on rear.
Spare tire, and other odds 'n ends
This trailer started life as a 4x6 tilt-tongue utility trailer. The main storage compartment was designed to accommodate the height of Rubbermaid totes. The RTT is attached via piano hinge and doubles as a watertight lid to the storage compartment, which can be accessed with the tent either folded away or fully erect. It can also be accessed through the tail gate, which has been sheeted in metal.
The front compartment has a lid that doubles as a table when turned forward and is sheeted in diamond plate aluminum.
The walls were created from ABS plastic sheets to maintain the trailer lightweight.
Please note: The 200w solar panels are NOT included.
Keywords: Jeep trailer, off road trailer, expedition trailer, camping gear, camp trailer, motorcycle trailer.
Thanks for looking!!
