What tire pressure are you running? Many folks have their pressure too high for a trailer and in turn, the tires bounce like basketballs. I would play with the pressures and see if that helps. Great work!!!

Thanks for that info. Yeah, I figured that was going to be outside of my budget.

Can you give a general pricing for these CPT panels? I love the idea of composite panels but cost has always been a big factor with them.

Nice work!

Looking like a cool build. Definitely interested in seeing more of this and the final product.

Finally got some free time to do some more drawing Got the external parameters of the trailer set (yellow part) and the started to lay out the frame. Have the floor portion basically done. Now will be walls and roof.

Wow, that is coming out great! What type of welder are you using (MIG spool gun or TIG)?

We loved our Kamparoo when we had it. Actually ours was an Australian built model that got imported to Canada. I bought it from Glen and had it shipped down to San Diego, CA. Lots of fun adventures in it.

Nice start. What did you use to descale the metal?

I think the wiring colors are held over from household wiring. No idea why companies using 12v items didn't use the standard red/black but my guess it was likely because builders were using household wire for both the A/C systems and D/C systems, so they didn't have to stock any other wiring...

So I was able to get some more done on the trailer before I ended up with a cold. Got the mounts made and welded on the trailer for the lighting. Ended up using rolled C channel for the front ones and mounted them between the front bar and lift points. Nice thing is they are out of the way...

Thanks! The trailer is very well built and the way it is designed, the sides are more like "boat sides" so there is a LOT of clearance around the perimeter. Got the jack plate welded on and bolted the Ark jack to it (temp until after paint). Man is it EASY to roll around with that. This...

Nice box. What is the weight as it sits currently?

Got the garage cleaned up so I could put the trailer in and start doing some initial work to it. First up is to mount a new Ark jack and remove the two current support jacks, which do not have wheels to role it. This should make pushing it around a little easier. Once that is done, then I...

Something was thinking of last night is, where does the companies who make slide in popup campers get their doors? Looking at ones like Northstar, FWC, Hallmark, etc., they are all using midsize doors. I know they are not making them themselves but I cannot seem to find who is making them or...

I watched some videos and it's kinda a PITA. Also, it tends to put the door handle very low in the door, since you typically are removing the extra from the bottom part of the door and the handles are already installed.

Sadly I am not finding them. I need a midsize door (50-54" range) and the only one I can find is the Wildlands door. I have this door on my M1010 project and it's nice but I would love to find something of good quality at a lower price. Unfortunately all I find are teardrop size doors (too...

Looking like a great project. I agree, too many people don't really understand not having standing height is not such a great thing, long term. I raised the roof on my M1010 to give me 6' height inside and it was a game changer. Looking forward to the build.

Yeah, Raptor Liner would have been my choice. You can adjust the texture with air pressure and it ends up more of a semi matte finish instead of glossy.

Actually, if this was purchased as an "incomplete" vehicle, i.e. cab and chassis, since Earthcruiser was a legit motor home manufacturer, they can legally up the GVWR to what they have legally submitted for. They had to submit to DOT for approval. It's not likely they took a stock pickup and...
