The funniest part of this build is I am a metal fabricator more than I am a wood furniture builder. But, I do know how. I thought I'd try to explain the steering system under the trailer. And hopefully the system will make more sense to you guys. This is not a half baked idea I dreamed up one...

Thanks George. It's taken a long time to get this going and it's slow. I work on it when I can and have the cash for the top shelf stuff. Trying hard not to post up the build so fast that I can't keep a pace where I have it finished as the post go up at regular intervals. Such as the solar...

Got the floor frame done a few months ago, before I got sick, and added three access doors to the steering compartment, battery storage and fuel tank access. (Sorry about the sideways picture!) I looks like it's heavy, but it's build like furniture. with Dado's and Pocket screws. The plywood...

As I alluded to in the Title this one steers. So here's the frame. It's an IFS torsion bar suspension and will be steered with a 1300 lb 12 volt ram. Can crank up the torsion bars to raise the height and clearance. I added the fuel tank to the rear of the frame complete with factory skid...

Being as how I like to go in some of the tightest places I designed a trailer I can sleep in and take it with me on the tightest trails. This one has a wireless electric ram remote control steering. I'm about half done with it, so be patient in how fast I post the build up. Ist, I had this...

Good to see the solar system is working for you. I just bought the same set up for my build, brand and everything, and then started doing the research here to see if anyone else was using it too. And to see how well it was working for others. Yea, I get the cart before the horse a lot. Even...

My bad I meant to type Honda Cross Cub. It's a body work and rack upgrade. Since you have the engine upgrades done already. http://www.scooterfile.com/oems/honda/the-new-honda-cross-cub-cc110/ Being as how you've got that spiffy camper and bike carrier your bike might want some TLC too!

Have you seen the conversion called "The Super Cub"? Would be a great upgrade for your honda.

Where in Texas are they located? I'm not far from the DFW metromess. Could go reconoiter them for you.

Mano, I have a question for you. We are told here in the U.S.A. that India is producing, or going to produce the Kawasaki KLR 650 Diesel powered bikes there. Do you have any knowledge of this happening yet? I am a long time KLR rider and Modifyer. About to hit 100K on my 06. And I also have...

Was doing some research and ran across a brand of off road portable freezers on EBAY made by a Chinese Company and selling under the brand MODAWN. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Volt-Portable-40L-Refrigerator-Freezer-Outdoor-RV-Camp-12V-Boat-Cooler-USA-/252469372364 Any one ever heard of these...

Don't be to discouraged about your work area. I built a 12 foot tandem axle dune buggy flatbed trailer about 40 years ago now, that has changed hands three times and the darn thing won't die! It has about 200,000 miles on it now. I stick welded it in my backyard too. I loaned it to so many...

Very nicely done Greg. Loved the video too. I'm jealous as I just canceled my vacation to New Mexico to get my trailer done by the end of the year. I have a 2 seat Jocassee kayak that the wife and I take with us. She's not a big whitewater fan but loves to float the lakes and lazy rivers with...

I am currently building the body/box for mine. It will be 4 feet tall when folded and 7.5 ft tall when opened up. 8 .5 feet long inside. The sketch up is some else's work, but it's close enough to give you an idea. I will be using a tent with the bottom cut out for the top/roof. The main...

Just let them borrow your truck too! Problem solved! OR If you build a 2 inch ball hitch coupler to pin on and replace the Max Coupler, just pin it with a locking pin. Like this one...

I swapped out a EFI 460 for a 6BT Cummins in my 89 FERD Class A and used a Radiator and Intercooler from a Ford 700 MDT. You may not have the room as the intercooler and radiator are as big as a barn door. But Shop around! I have a new ISZU 4HK1t intercooler and it's tiny compared to the one...

Your Bike Rider story brought back some memories. I rode my bicycle from the Beach in Irvine Califonia to Beach in Savannah Georgia when I turned 40. Talk about an experience. Rode it in the late Spring. Actualy rode across Monument Valley in the dark to avoid the traffic and heat. 6 weeks...

I have always hated trying to maneuver around tight wooded trails while pulling a trailer. So my fertile mind came up with a solution to the issue. I'm currently building a modified teardrop trailer you might be interested in. Here's a teaser! The top flips open to provide a sleeping area...

A word of caution about those swivel wheel carriers. They put your pivot point way behind the rear axle which means the towed is swung out into the outside traffic lane in a 90 degree turn. So if there is no outside lane for to go in to, your towed could end up on the sidewalk, or worse yet...

Abe that's his methane fuel maker. Very Pepper of you.
