Heavy duty construction all around and rolling on Jeep lug pattern wheels wrapped in 35" Kenda tires. Tows effortlessly on and off road. Platform is set up for two Groms or bunches of gear. 12V Fridge freezer, propane burners and sink in slide out kitchen. 25 gallon water tank with on-board...

Have not been back here in a bit! I considered using a 5x8 trailer as my starting point until I realized the axle is too frail to tolerate big tires and off road use, the springs are far too weak and the frames on your typical little trailer are just not designed to do what I wanted. Even the...

Made it out to the Red River Gorge for some late season camping and wheeling! Trailer is still functioning nicely! Twelve states and roughly 5000 miles of adventure this summer.

That's a small world! Yeh, pretty sure I've never made a responsible vehicular choice in my life ? Where did you see the bug?

Went through this entire thread last year before I built my trailer. Stoked to be able to add to it this year.

Had the opportunity to camp at a work event (that's rare, right?) Brainerd Raceway in Northern MN. Not exactly off grid, but an excellent testing opportunity. Unfortunately, solar panel underperformed all weekend. I was definitely facing North, but I feel like it should have done better. Was...

Look for a detailed writeup! Just wrapped 3000 miles shakedown!

That's a wrap! Headed to Flagstaff in the AM. Some shortcuts were taken and a few things just did not happen, but overall, I'm pretty damn happy with it.

hinge is clever!

This is a fun shot. Catches taillight action, fold up table, battery box and wheels chock for the Grom. Water tank will get expanded steel cover bolted over it once final plumbing is wrapped. Hidden ramp worked out good as well. The hoops supporting it are lined to deaden sound and keep ramp...

Major progress! Frame is painted and back on its wheels. Had some runs, but nothing that was not manageable. I'm an average at best welder/painter/electrician, but I like to think I plan well! Unfortunately panel glue has yet to come in for the final skinning of the kitchen box. Assemble went...
