    Bathing Question

    Over the years, I've tried different systems. First I used a bucket and a cup. Boil water and mix with cold water and wash. I used that system everyday for about two years while living in Lima Peru in the 90's. A bug sprayer worked well . I replaced the wand with a kitchen sprayer and would...

    I need to get the camber fixed and I think that will be the solution. Fortunately it is easy to adjust with shims.

    I was premature in saying the trailer is too heavy for the suspension. It is my trailer that has an issue with the camber adjustment .

    I suppose people add what they want so each trailer weighs differently.

    The difference between the 3500lb and the 5200lb axle is the damper. .

    You might want to check this bolt. This is for the crossmember between the two axles. I'm surprised it's only held on with one bolt and not two since the Timbren is drilled for two bolts. Mine was very very loose. The drivers side was tight but both were installed without a lock washer.

    Yes I have the crossbar. The camber has to get adjusted and new tires.

    Do people really take their off-road teardrops through gnarly trails?

    I recently took my Mission Overland trailer through the Magruder Corridor trail. (113 miles off road) The only issue was driving up and down long narrow one track roads which would have been hairy if I met someone in the other direction. I aired down the trailer tires to 20 psi and it...

    Mission Overland is well aware of my issues and are not happy that my trailer somehow escaped the quality control process. I fixed the loose faucet with locktite and the door has to be replaced. Had the border not been closed that would have already happened on our way to Alaska. Mark and...

    porta toilets

    I've been using a PETT toilet and WAG bags for many years. I only use it for BMs. I pee outside or in a bottle if the weather is bad. This is the system used by the military. The bags are durable and will be good for a couple of uses if you are in one place. I'll put the used bags in a...

    The trailer tracks perfectly behind the Land Cruiser. I have not added weight beyond the water more than 250lbs. Sounds like the axles are too light for the trailer. I'll have to have the trailer weighed at some point . I sure hope the quality control on newer trailers is better. First...

    This is a brand new trailer. Looks like the wheels are leaning inside hence the worn out inside tread. Looking at other pictures the wheel were always like that so it came misaligned from the shop.

    They are the stock tires. Sure Trac A/T Mark says it is not an issue but I strongly disagree. Tires on a trailer like this should last almost forever.

    As you can see , mine are worn down on the inside. Either bad tires or some suspension defect.

    Anyone else notice their tires prematurely wearing? I have less than 10, 000 miles on these tires and the insides are already worn down past the wear bars.
