I would like to upgrade the electrical on a future trailer to include things like converter/inverter, fuse block, battery monitoring systems and additional led's and other things. I do not have any electrical skills at all, and to be honest I am somewhat afraid to make a mistake. Does anyone...

Very good info for sure. I am mainly looking for expedition or teardrop style camping trailers. No rooftop tents for me. My back is too fragile.

I am looking to compile a list of all US made trailers that use an all aluminum frame and box frame. The ones I know of are WEEROLL, VRV, and Intech. Any others would be appreciated.

Does anyone know the height of the overland trailer? Will it fit into a garage with an 83 inch opening? I cant find specs on the website.

Do they build interior cabinetry and do full electrical systems or are all of the DIY trailers? They look fantastic.

I dont forsee me having a problem with a protected wood floor or interior walls. They could be replaced with a little bit of work. A wood frame for me just will not work as I have no skills to do that level of repair. Has anyone ever had a wood framed trailer fall apart after a few years? I...

Arkansas Don, I have called many builders as well and quite a few do not want to get into the construction details and if they do they tell me that the wood they use is sealed so well that mo moisture could ever permeate it. Ive had one vendor tell me that they do use wood but is is built in a...

I am guessing that most of these companies will be gone in 5 years time.

Aluminum does very well because a protective oxide coating forms on it when it is exposed to oxygen. After a day at the beach with something like a beach chair the aluminum legs will look great but the screws in them wil show immediate rusting. All of the fishing rigs and platforms for trucks...

I can see how this makes sense. The only portable one that I have seen is the climate right one which seems to not get such great reviews.

If I had any fabrication skills at all I would be putting them to good use for sure, but I dont. It looks like Colorago teardrops and VRV have all aluminum frame and floor. inTech has an all aluminum frame with a wood floor covered by some type of plastic on the bottom. I am leaning towards...

From what I have noticed by looking at all of the websites is that the wood framed drops do not offer roof mounted A/C units possibly because the frame will not support it. I cant imagine a wood constructed trailer being impervious to the constant moisture levels and humidity that is present on...

I have searched extensively for alot of information on this but need some expert help. I am looking to buy a teardrop style trailer for surf fishing trips down the beach in South Texas. There are a bit off really bumpy sections for the first 6 miles so the trailer needs to be durable. One of...

Gel is what it says on the VRV website. What I listed is copied and pasted off of the site. I'm not sure what 30 amp electrical service includes so I sent an email to ask. Do you have a recommendation for a converter to use?

I am planning to purchase a new offroad trailer next year and am a real newbie when it comes to electrical. I plan to use the onboard A/C with a genny but also plan to have 160 watt solar panel which the trailer is pre-wired for(Zamp). As far as electrical use, it would mostly be charging...

What was the trailer that shares your overall vision so we can get an idea of what you have planned?

Also, do you think a lock and roll type hitch would be better for the beach or would a regular ball hitch do the trick?

Your trailer looks real good behind that jeep. To run the A/C what size gen do you use?

Ratled, I like your avatar. Diving is my absolute favorite thing to do.

I just plan on using it for surf fishing along the Padre Island National Seashore which is about a 60 mile stretch of beach on the gulf of Mexico that you can drive on. I think the VRV Eco would do the job for me if I added a road shower and a batwing awning. The main thing for me is all...
