    New/old trailer build 1966 Apache Raven tent trailer

    Trailer wired, fenders painted and installed: took it for a shakedown run on the freeway with my wife following behind, just in case any parts started flying off. Pulls great no issues! Just need to get her into paint now!

    Very nice, well designed professional build you have here: a far cry from my eye ball engineered, garage floor built rig. Well done. Can't wait to see it in June!

    New/old trailer build 1966 Apache Raven tent trailer

    Looks like its in pretty good shape: only problem with that model is the side door. For me a side door wouldn't have worked due to my wheel wells. If you aren't going for wheel wells then it won't be a problem :)

    I do not work for these guys but: FYI www.onboard-air.com I am planning on running their system that mounts under the Jeep for airing up tires etc! Also will have a small compressor to run just the air bags on the trailer.
