Since the core features of the trailer are complete and it's useable, I don't spend as much time in it lately, however over the last few weeks I have done a couple things to better utilize storage space. To mount the propane tank I had to weld some supports across the front of the trailer, which...

I personally like the stoves with a removeable griddle, like most Camp Chef, Colman or Partner Steel products as I'll occasionally use pots for boiling pasta or a kettle for coffee. If you're confident that all your cooking will work on a griddle, then the convenience of not having to get out...

Thanks! The box dimensions are 28.5" tall x 72" long x 50" wide, not including the 3" tall frame

I've been making lots of progress on the build during the little bit of free time I have split up. I'd like to get some more detailed photos of what I've done, but for now here is a picture of the trailer with the slide out kitchen in use on our weekend trip. The current sink / stove slide is...

Been slowly working on / planning the trailer interior over the winter. I am building a frame out of aluminum extrusions from tnutz that will bolt to the cross members of the trailer. I have dry fit everything together in the basement ( ignore the clutter in pics ) so that all the tnuts will be...

I looked through a lot of builds on this site as reference for many ideas, but none to specific. Adv4x4 on Youtube is probably the best resource i've found for using ACM. I have not yet finished the exterior corners, but plan on using some angle aluminum. I am waiting for warmer weather for...

Got the trailer registered and the tent mounted. Next on to the interior. The plan is to have the fridge and sink slide out the front door, with a secondary slide for the stove. For the rear I am planning on having some large drawers with a flat deck on top for larger items such as camp chairs...

Sprayed, and didn't do as good of a job as I would have liked. There are a few spots that got sprayed wet, and a little bit of striping.

Got the doors mounted and the trailer weighed today. 900 lbs for the axel, and 130 for the tongue, so about 1030 lbs total.

Got some raptor on the body to color match the Jeep and the cross bars welded on. The fenders and rack still need to be raptor lined in black. I also raptor lined the doors to match the rest of the body, but they aren't pictured as I'd like the raptor to cure a bit longer before putting them in...

This video goes into how to make a 90° quick connector for the Everest and Mountaineer. Good info for options on using a larger propane tank.

I did not like how my framed fenders had so much space between the tires and the top, and realized I was looking at the wrong spec for the timbren flex, so decided I'd rebuild my fenders. I'm definitely happy I did, as I believe theses look much better

Over the last two weeks I got the electrical done for the tail lights, trailer breaks, and added a 7 pin harness with break controller to the Jeep. Today I finally got the skin on. Some ACM from Piedmont Plastics attached with VHB tape. I cut the roof and floor panels prior to installing as the...

Lots of progress this week. Got some chain holders, front stabilizer brackets, and a rear hitch welded on. Made some tail light brackets for the rear channel and raptor lined the frame. I taped over where the VHB tape will go for the ACM panels, as primer should be a better surface for that.

Have been getting lots of little things done. Hoping to raptor line the frame next weekend, but still got a few welds to do and a lot of rust / mill scale removal first. Initially I only had the two areas for the crossbars, but after talking to 23zero, they mentioned the tents should not...
