Not trying to add an fuel to the fire here. But I don't think it's been mentioned that most analysis of stress is done using computer stimulation. The engineers among us will see a product fail by analyzing the data. The non engineers may need to see something more concrete to convince them...
We have a clamp system that we use to attach RTT's to the Thule racks on our Chaser trailers and cross bars on our Horizon trailers.
They just slide into the extrusion on the bottom of the tent and tighten around the roof bar. We find them to be quick, easy, and adjustable.

I think within what you have said lies the truth. The company who manufactures adapters makes them with the intention they are used on the road.
However if a wheel comes flying off when the vehicle is driving down the road the legal blame is cast across the vehicle manufacture, the spacer...
It's standard practice to replace all 4 tires on AWD vehicles. If you are replacing just one it has to be shaved to the same diameter as the used ones on the vehicle. That is of course unless there is something unique about BMW's All Wheel Drive system that allows tires of different diameters to...
The axle placement on a Teardrop is slightly out of the norm because of the design and the door placement. So while Rob and your trailer builder suggest something that is "usual" the trailer body may dictate otherwise.
I think you have to remember that Australian and South African trailers are built for more wide open spaces where twisty trails and obstructions in the trails are less common.
Don't get me wrong the KK is a great trailer, but the full size models would have a hard time in Moab or on the...
There are places on the Rubicon and at Moab that a trailer like this could go, but if you mention these two areas to give an idea of the difficulty of trails you want to take this trailer on, then the answer would be it would be difficult to impossible.
If I reading this correctly the trailer...
That depends on how often it's used. I'd say give it a pump of grease every month it's in regular use, make sure it's full before you are storing it.
If you do water crossings during a trip, when you get home, take the coupler off empty any water out and make sure it's full of grease. Keeping...
Someone could also just arrive with a flatbed, load the trailer and drive away. If someone wants to steal something they will. The objective is to make it a little less convenient to do so. When you compare the number of max couplers out there to the number of 2" ball couplers you have already...
Interesting that our brand name "Adventure Trailers" has become interchangeable for the term off-road trailer.
An Adventure Trailer is now understood to be any capable off-road trailer.
I take that as a compliment.
When we started all this 8 years ago people would come up to us, look at one...
The Silent Hitch Pin will work on the trailer end of the Max Coupler. The only modification needed is a little grinding to the square nut with the spring on it, that allows it to slide into the coupler all the way.
Having locked the coupler onto the trailer the only person who could tow it away...
We did a very nice build on a 2010 FJ Cruiser today. It turned out very well.
Front Runner low profile Wind Cheetah Rack, double can holders, Hi Lift Jack Mount, Axe Mount, shovel Mount, and AT propane tank and holder.
Very function, carried the equipment well and left loads of room for gear...
MUD-UK will be building AT trailers under license for the European market. All of the trailers will be built with full European-type approval. In 2012 trailers will have to be tested and built to tight European standards. MUK-UK will be producing trailers that are certified to these standards...
