    Redeth's Overland Trailer Build

    Working on. The cooler slide out. I bought 2 full size 'home kitchen style' bamboo chopping boards at IKEA for about 30 bucks and the 2 of them side by side ended up being the exact dimensions that I needed for the footprint of the Engel Deep Blue 80 cooler. Both chopping boards together measure...

    Redeth's Overland Trailer Build

    Honestly. I just don't want to carry too many batteries on board. and i am scared of running out of juice on the batteries and if that were to happen when camping i fear my food will spoil. The 1 or 2 batteries i plan to carry i would like to be solely dedicated to powering my electronic...

    Redeth's Overland Trailer Build

    As promised here are the pix! There she is in all her glory! I can't wait to try her out on a camping trip. This CVT roof top tent extremely easy to set up. It takes approximately 5 minutes to set up without the annex. And approximately 10 more minutes or so to do the annex (only because I'm not...

    Haha it's funny that you mention that. I was just thinking of doing something about those pointed tips because of fear for getting my shins or knees in one of them.

    Redeth's Overland Trailer Build

    I just bit the bullet and invested into the most expensive piece to my trailer build. Although expensive it is definitely going to be worth it and I know my family is going to enjoy camping with this thing for sure. The quality of the summit series line is unmatched. And the extra options you...

    Redeth's Overland Trailer Build

    There's not much i can do on a week night but I did mount my 15 gallon water tank and water fill. I used two extremely heavy duty grade velcro straps to hold the tank in place. I don't care about sun wear & tear or the quality degrading because i have an unlimited supply of them at my...
