All, I thought I'd share with you guys and dolls our Overland Camping Xpo Trailer that we've been building for a few months now. It is built by Panther Trailers out of Ocala, FL. They have done an OUTSTANDING job building our Overland trailer.

PS: No, Weld Racing bead lock wheels, will not be the wheels that we will be running. They were just laying around the shop. The trailer will run matching Argent AEV Savegre's.

Very cool

Ben, that looks awesome! Would love to see more photos and hear some specs. Love the fridge location and hatch shape. Does the hatch seal nicely so that while open you can still use the galley and not get wet?

Total dimensions and weight? Looks like 5x10 cabin?

Thanks! And can't tell you if the galley stays dry as this trailer is literally (3) days old and has only been on display at Jeep Beach this past weekend. Now, it is missing two more ARB awnings, including one off the rear hatch/door that should provide ample coverage over the galley area and one more off the front deck area. Yes, it is a 5x10 box plus the width of the fenders and front deck. The weight is unknown right now, but we expect it to be around 2200-2400 lbs. I need to get with Panther Trailers to get all of the specs. I'll get those ASAP. It's still being built, and we learned more about it over the weekend so still "tweaking" it.

It should open in DropBox and play a 1 min. video (w/ sound) we just did of our Panther Trailer Expedition Series trailer setup. Hope this works!!

That's amazing. I might need to steel this design and make my own. Do you have any photos of the interior?

Thanks

Hey, I never heard back from you when you were here in WA. How's the new rig and were you able to get out and explore? I tried to get in contact with ya about meeting up and checking out the tear drop.

That's a pretty cool trailer. How does it tow? Especially with the atv on the front of the tongue like that.

I like the wrap on it, looks sick.

That's quite a set up, very nice. I like the wrap also, it looks good. How long did it take them to build it for you? Do you have any inside photos? Great trailer:luxhello:

Tows great so far. No "offroading" yet but on road, it pulls good. Very steady and straight. My JK has a 5.7L HEMI in it, so that helps.

Thanks Everyone!! Here are some updated pics.

Very cool trailer. Great idea! Is that wrapped aluminum or some other material?

Thank you! It is another material, I'll have to ask Panther what it is. It is a two layer setup, exterior, then steel frame and inside lay up. In between it is insulated too, so it is really quite and insulated inside.

I like the idea of a little patio. That's pretty creative.
