That came out great!

Wrapped the folding table and ramp. I'm almost sick of expanded steel. One more fender and it's ready for paint!

Thirty eight days until I leave for Overland Expo. Not panicking, but maybe getting a little stressed. :oops: Another solid weekend. 1) Wrapped lid and door on Kitchen box (as well as finished welding it) 2) Mounted solar panel 3) Built mount for traction boards on front of kitchen 4) Finish...

Used three strips of 2" and welded up a holder as well as some 1/2" strap bent it into a circle to hold the base. It'll get a strap to tie it all together. I can share shots of just the mount if you're interested

Thanks!!

Love the detail! Keep the pics coming!

Have not decided on hinge strategy, but I'm liking the look of the fold down counter.

Solid weekend. 1) Built mount for propane tank 2) Built doors for kitchen (side door is hinged as well) 3) Installed expanded steel floor 4) Built fold down table 5) Designed and built first Fender 6) Sorted motorcycle wheel chocks 7) Designed ramp 8)

Got a ton completed this weekend. 1) Kitchen box framed out 2) Kitchen largely constructed ($250 worth of hinges:confused:) 3) Awning mounted 4) Gast can test worked (Need one for other side now) 5) Balance of water tank cradle welded in Upcoming: 1) Order RTT (Basic Smittybilt knock off) 2)...

Looking good!

Current plan. Solar may end up on Kitchen box.

Kitchen layout.

Kitchen framed up (need to clean up the welds)

All primary framing is completed. Next up is kitchen slideout build (I hate woodwork) Jacks need to be relocated inboard a bit to gain departure angle. Expanded steel floor should be here this weekend as well.

I see your concern on that one. I'll be honest, I have not taken a hard look at the axles lug nut contact area. I will now, though! Assuming you are building a light duty trailer, I have to suspect the contact area delta is not meaningful.

I looked at a fair number of other trailers as a guide, both in materials as well as design. Tongue coupling design doc attached was helpful. Tongue length came from an estimate of total load and placement on the trailer (I drew it in Corel Draw!). Trailers seem to prefer a tongue weight bias...

Love this build. Doing something fairly similar. Post more pics!

Axle placement is a hell of a rabbit hole.

That thing should be bombproof!
