    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    Yes. I have never been able to get a 0 camber. 2.5 deg negative is what I measured. Been like this from the beginning. I dont think Smitty did the geometry correct when they designed it. Anyway after consulting with a couple of local trailer guys they say anything less than 5 deg. Is no worries...

    Yeppers. That would be me. If you search back several pages before I build the CF tongue box you can see what I did. Cost less than $25 in square tubing. Just make sure you bring off all the galvenization on the stock square tube. I was having a hard time sticking the welds, but at least mine...

    I feel that is is too wobbly with 4 people sleeping high up the the tent on top. As my tongue weight is only just over 200 pounds I would be worried about it falling back. That would be less likely with the stock tongue weigh of close to 400 pounds. I would leave them in place.

    Several of us have. You have to fish back several threads though. I went with the ark 750.

    That is because their fridge is quite taller than mine. I have seen both and theirs are bigger for shure. Theirs are the best fit, but I just inserted a 2 inch block of foam on the bottom of the drawer and I was rocking it.

    No worries at all Trae. I actually has the Engel marine 40qt. It needed just a bit of propping up to fit. Smitty only makes on arctic fridge. Their unit will fit as a drop in. I have seen it on a couple occasions where it does in fact fit right in. I am not sure wrt the Indel B, but I have heard...

    Actually, we went to Wallymart a couple of years ago and got their softsided Ozark Trail round cooler. It fits perfect into the side box. We store veggies in that. The right side box as a matter of fact is for chips and other edibles. This way only things that have to be refere'd will go in the...

    We are a fam of 4..... but eat like 6... ha. Seriously.... my wife and I and a 14 and 21 yo girls. The engel is good for about 3-4 days. We sure could use a bigger one but could not get ourself to get the Smitty arctic as there have been mixed reviews and a larger power consumption.

    My Engel have been in the generator bucket for two years with out a problem. I did just now install a vent in the back of the trailer though but that is to vent fumes from the genset

    $46,000 Dollar Overland Trailer?

    Yeah..... I would have loved to buy the panels if they were affordable. Just made them myself. Lots of work...ha. Yeppers.... mountain bike frames are stoopid expensive as well. Why I'm still on my 12 yr old 29'er.... :)

    $46,000 Dollar Overland Trailer?

    Yep. Cant argue that. The Carbon Fiber front tongue box I made would cost as much as the entire trailer if I paid myself for the labor. In reality that is exactly why I went this route. There is truly a trailer for each idea and budget. People think I'm nuts when I tell them what it would cost...

    I thought of going high pressure as this tank is hydro'd to 3000 psi and nominal pressure is 1850, but scratched the idea for the simple reason I wanted to be able to inflate it myself. I did look at the booster kits from power tank that would allow me to do that myself, but in reality with a...

    $46,000 Dollar Overland Trailer?

    Correct. Mine have not been without trouble as some idiot on the line ground welds thin and a few had tounges break. Kits were mailed out but I just welded a gusset and reinforced mine. Cost $25. As my bare trailer was 5k new it was hard for me to argue that price point. I purchased mine as I...

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    Ha.... Right. I really did not plan on it, but as the O2 tank was to be thrown away on inspection last month on the plane, I simply could not refuse the idea of hacking a green bottle on the smitty. So lemme ask.... Do you find the powertank helpful in storing air, or is it depleted after only a...

    Correct. We spent 28 years in the upper valley and have roamed just about all of NM and AZ. It was just a thought.

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    Im just curious. Could it be that your door needs to be pulled tighter? I don't see this after many miles of dirt up here in CO. My miles were below 35mph though, but mine is holding up or should I say out pretty good.

    $46,000 Dollar Overland Trailer?

    I think it really depends on what you want. The earthroamers can get to 3/4 mill. I have 10k in my off road trailer that will do just about anything the 40k will..... I am super stoked with my 10k unit and are going on the 4th year....and I am sure that patriot owners are every bit as happy. As...

    Air tank for the tires. I have a compressor but it is sometimes nice to have a bit stored. Specially if you have to seal a bead.
