    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    The measurements that ebraback gave would not work with my Dodge Ram 1500. Its not lifted in the rear but is sitting on 35's. I really like this jack but its just not tall enough. The trailer is also on 35's so I had to use a six inch drop hitch turned upside down to get the trailer to sit level...

    I would also like more info on your water system. How many gallons does those two tanks get you two? I was debating on putting a tank right down the middle but don't want to give up ground clearance. My other option was I could mount the tank inside the main compartment. The largest tank I could...

    Does it look like it shakes around a lot? I did just a drop carrier. Its a bit in the way when you are getting things out of the back. But it does give me somewhere to stand to put the poles in the rain fly's lol. The only down side is man that thing moves around even when your just going down...

    I know we have quite a bit of Arizona guys on this post. If you are interested I started a Facebook group Called Arizona Rooftop Tents. I have a few buddies that have roof top tents that have joined so far. We plan on doing some group camp trips and stuff. One of the guys I made Admin who is a...

    My rear jacks are pretty solid. But there is a bolt that needs to be tightened on the bracket it go's onto to keep it from moving around. Its my front wheel jack that scares me

    I didn't have the best experience with 4wheelparts myself here in Arizona. They took a week longer to put it together then what they said. And when I showed up to pick it up they where still not done because the brake cables where rubbing the tire, but I didn't know that when I first showed up...

    I'm using a battery box as well. I mounted the box to the trailer though so it can't move around.

    I would bet that the company you listed on Alibaba is either the company that is now making the trailer for them or was the company making them for them. Looking threw the company pictures it looks like they make Manley trailers as well. Plus there was a lot of Australian style off road trailers...

    No the annex has almost fist sized holes in each back corner. Elements can't get in because its under the tent but won't keep the bugs out.

    I also have the XL and the pivot point covers is where I am sure the bugs are getting in. My daughters hand was pretty much right next to it when she woke up and said there is something crawling on my hand. After I killed that spider I had to check the whole tent and found two more. The next day...

    Who all is using the smittybilt RTT? Anyone else having problems with bugs getting in? Has anyone made improvements to keep it from happening? We went out camping two weekends ago and I ended up killing 5 spiders that made their way in. The first one was found on my daughters hand. Lets say the...

    Mine does it after the wife or kids decide to hang from it. Like it was said before if you lift up hard before latching it it will be straight again for awhile lol. I have been looking into different hinges because I feel this is the problem. I haven't pulled the trigger yet because out of the...

    Do you guys have a 12V battery set up? If so a water pump is super cheap and would make it so you don't have to pump at all.

    I don't think anything would happen to the manufactured hitch assy. If anything would fail it would be the plate he welded or the bolt he used. I would put money on the plate. If you think about it the hitch doesn't care if you move the weight farther back. It would be the same as if you...

    Ahh so 4wheelparts put my rig together. They used the flat metal pieces. Who did you email at smittybilt to get the U shaped ones?

    Did you buy or make those mounts that the tent attaches to the rail with? The ones that came with my tent/trailer are really cheesy pieces of scrap metal. I like yours.

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    I think things are just adding up against me. Not sure what tires you went with but I did 35's on the trailer and my 2010 dodge ram 1500 has 35's as well. If you are loading the trailer in my drive way at least its adding to your problem. If I rolled my trailer out onto the street and then...
