Screen door handle Added a inside screen door handle, I'm tired of grabbing the plastic slide on the screen door and ripping it out of the track. from Ebay/Walmart and easy to install.=brian

Very nice combo, I noticed no door or rear window ? You may want to remove the jacks and save some weight unless you remove the camper after each trip? You will have fun with a well made rig.=brian.

More info on lid build Started to add the hinges, however this is what the tub seal looks like, I think this will stop dirt and water from invading the interior of the trailer. What I like about this lid build is it light weight and no struts needed, I will be using a car hood rod to prop it...

Those brake sets are left and right only. If you installed the axle 180 degrees off, brake magnets will not work to stop the trailer. You may pull a brake drum to check. Or do what Martyn said and If you jack the trailer up so one wheel is off the ground, apply the brakes, and try to spin...
