Finished up a few things and took the trailer out on short trip. Very impressed with the reduced sway while towing and ease of backing it up. I can see more of the trailer in my mirrors now as well. Put the old roof/rack on the trailer to deliver to their new home. Thinking of getting an...

I like this as well. Not from a practical point because the tow vehicle has less clearance, but it looks neat especially with shocks. I really wish it was possible to swap hub on these axles/add electric brakes.

Keep the shocks if you can. Makes for a much better ride. I like you improvised jack stands.

Looks great. What awning/room are you using off the front end?

I like option 3 the best. Been kicking around the idea of a RTT myself and was thinking of putting it above the front of the trailer so the hinge in the tent runs perpendicular to the trailer. Either opens towards the rear or over the tongue.

Looking forward to pics. I would go heavier than a 3500 lb axle. My guess is your dry weight will be pushing 2K lbs when done. I would actually go back in with a 7K axle. The distance between the hub face and spring perch is longer than typically desired. A heavier axle will help and will...

I like what you did here. Well done.

SOLD Figured I would post this here are well. Link to CL ad http://dallas.craigslist.org/******/grd/5121264471.html

I use a square drop leg bulldog with foot. I remove the drop leg/foot and replace with a caster.

I use both. A wheel while on hard surfaces and a foot while on dirt.

Any concern about it getting top heavy? Good idea for the rack brackets.

Northern tool sells wheels like that. I just bought a metal one can made a bracket to attach it to landing gear. A pic of your current landing gear would help. They had up to 8", I picked the 5" because I just needed to roll it around on concrete. Bulldog also makes a jack that is just a...

Great build. Is the plan to live out of and sleep in the trailer during the trip?

How do you drain water from the cooler?

Coming together well. How many time have you hit your knee on that rear receiver? I might have missed in in the build but was there a reason you left if that length?

Yup, great price! GLWS. I look forward to the next one you build :)

A great build and glad you are enjoying the fruits of the labor. Any major things you would do differently if building a new one?

Added some new toolboxes. 83 lbs each..... Made in TX. These are 50" long compared to the previous 43". Covers two stake pockets vs one. With the additional E-track I plan to add, looking at 1760 lbs dry and close to 1800 with rear landing gear. Made a wheel adapter to make moving the...

Congrats on getting started. Don't have much to start with so it may be worth considering building from the ground up. You will likely end up with a decent amount of time and money spent so you might as well make sure you are starting out on a good foundation.

How far away is the trailer?
