Then I thought that while I was in there, I would like to make the RTT cross bars more rigid. The front (picture right) was about 5mm lower than the rest, and the only way to remedy that was to weld a couple of 1.5x1.5 inch square tubing running length of the trailer. That made quite a big...

Finally figured out how I wanted to mount the basket. You could off course just bolt it to the top of the box, but imho there was simply too much flex in that top panel. I took a couple of 1 inch square tubing and drilled 3 through holes for a 5/16 carriage bolt to protrude. Then matched the...

Thank you sir.

Your right. My Phat Phingers got the better of me......385pounds

Ouch... 22-25% TW is quite a lot. In reality, only thing that you can do is somehow hang fore stuff aft of the point where the axles bolt on to the body.

I want to spread the load a bit, rather than 4 contact points. Also that will get the basket rails a bit off the roof of the box. Cue 5 feet long 1x1 square tube on both side as rails. Then the included u bolts..... or if I feel like making it better..... one through bolt on each end of the...

Woooow..... that is crazy. Almost 18% I suspect...... Dare I ask what it goes to with the tanks full?

My setup My setup yielded a TW of about 200 pounds. The oem tongue box weighs 385 pounds I recall.

Now I just have to figure out the best way to bolt it on.

The basket is only about 4 inches tall. Add 1 for the riser..... so a total of 5 inches. I guess unless tour tent is that low then you should be ok.

Bummer. Sounds like you have no choice.

General stuff like firewood..... extra water.... big axe and perhaps a full size shovel. I also thought it would be good to just have a basket for whatever else one wants to carry.

I don't know if there is a posted max weight, but as this thing is built like a panzer, I would have no issues putting a water tank up there. Just do it smartly with some form of weight distribution. This is a very flexy trailer so as long as you don't drive like our Aussie friends in the...

Ordered a roof rack basket. It will reside on top of the main box. Gonna be exiting.

Bingo. I too great care to use only what light I needed from a energy storage, not blind anyone, and a few other things. They are 1.5 watts and flod type. I have used these pods in many projects in the past 10 years and none have ever failed. Very reasonable priced. I have them as cooking lights...

I thought I'd post the pictures here as well. A couple of blocks of aluminum sammiched together. Bolted on to the awning arms. The RTT window awning is now reaching over the ARB 2500x2500 awning and rain will not fall in the gap. The RTT window poles will be inserted in the hole in the aluminum...

Got it.

I searched as well and could not find it either. I can post pictures in this thread anymore as I suspect I have too many already. I can in other threads but not this one without resizing, which I cant do. I can perhaps email you a few pictures if you would like. Just PM me your email and I will...

I believe Im the guilty one for that mod. Search under my username and you should find it.

Absolutely. My Scoutty went from about 380 pounds to just around 200 pounds if memory serves me correct.
