    Camper paint questions

    If it were me, I might give it one more coat of the epoxy. I’d want that extra layer of epoxy so I don’t accidentally sand through to the wood. When it’s all dry, I’d wet sand it all down until the surface is uniform. Then I’d use the HVLP with your primer and chosen single or two stage paint.

    Eighteen months in the making... here's the book: Building a Teardrop Trailer: Plans and Methods for Crafting an Heirloom Camper

    I just stumbled upon this thread and though it was an awesome idea! I bought one, but just finished my camper trailer build last year. I’m hoping to learn a thing or two for my next build, whether it’s a teardrop or not. Whenever that is!

    Recommendation - durable 270 awning?

    I have a very similar story with my Rhino Rack: also origamied on the maiden voyage. Broke two hinges and actually snapped one of the horizontal pieces in half. I have and love the OVS now but I still guy and peg every time since that rhino rack experience.

    What Toyota truck for Box Camper build?

    The Tacoma’s payload is pitiful and these campers add up. As an owner of a second gen Tacoma, I would take this off the list based on this alone.

    Overland Trailer Build

    I can appreciate your build. It’s a lot like mine that I built from scratch as well. Except I opted for the straight axel over Timbren because it was my first build. I’ll be following along!

    axle placement

    https://mechanicalelements.com/trailer-axle-position/ I used this formula to calculate my axle location on my build. Factoring my battery on the tongue, 25gal water tank, etc, it put me within 2” of the 40/60 rule.

    Axle Confusion

    I may have went overboard on the steel when I built it :D

    Axle Confusion

    I ended up going with these people for my axle. I also wanted a width mirroring my Tacoma and I had it built for 31” wheels with the 6 lug pattern and brakes. https://thetrailerpartsoutlet.com/collections/3-5k-trailer-axles-3500-lb-capacity/products/build-to-order-dexter-rv-trailer-axle I got...

    DIY Astro Van TRAILER Build, to tow behind my lifted Astro

    I feel like if you fixed that sketchy boat trailer tongue and how it attaches to the body and went with concept “e” or “L” the project is entirely workable. As far as managing your tongue weight, is airbag suspension an option for the towing vehicle? Back Astro is empty and you already bottom...

    What’s the tongue weight on that? I feel like that could get heavy really quick
