Welcome!

We had cash to use for a down payment from selling our last trailer. The rest we put on a 60 month loan at ~2%. We looked into the financing linked on Hiker's site but they didn't have nearly as good terms. Ended up using a credit union in Idaho that handles a lot of loans for a couple of the...

They only have one size for the full size door. There is a smaller 3/4 height upswing offered on the light and medium duty models. I wonder if anyone even makes a similar door that same height but 1' wider????

Hey Randy, how would those brackets mount to the stock crossbars? Just drill right into them?

I agree, the galley on these trailers is a little tricky to work with. If they had a wider door, you could easily fit a decent size fridge in there sideways and still have room to one side of it for a stove/drawer slide out. They do sell a 5x10 trailer in the medium duty format, but that thing...

Yeahhhhh XK!

Nice rig! I built my own "road shower" using some 4" ABS, miscellaneous plumbing fittings, and a motorcycle tire air valve. I made the mounts out of some angle alu and u bolts. It doesn't look as pro but works great and only cost around $100.

Nice popup!

Out for a drive through the Gros Ventre in NW WY:

We are you located? I thought we were out there but it only takes an 1.5 hrs for us to get to Walmart/Costco ��. And yeah, we basically wrap the awnings up as soon as we feel a breeze. We may be a little over cautious now but we had an incident a few years back with the Sunseeker...

Thanks for checking it out! Propane will be for the stove and eventually hot water. We got the spare for two reasons: We sometimes pull with my lady's Jeep which has different wheels/tires, and if we happen to blow a tire 1000 miles from home, we won't need to worry about getting it repaired...

Thanks man and yeah those lights worked out great. They look sweet and they're as bright as the sun!

Thanks! 80L x 59W x 44H on the cabin floor. Just long enough for a queen mattress, not quite wide enough though. I had to cut the mattress down 3" off the side. 24 deep on the galley, top shelf is 11 deep from either side.

Good call! Here you go:

Thanks man!

You're welcome! 1) Personally, I only wanted the windows w/screens in the doors and not the extra screen doors. When we had ours built we were told they only had those doors or no windows in the doors at all. They buy them in bulk and shipping on a pair of special orders was going to be...

Have not found that out yet. I believe it was less than 1000lbs before we put on the awnings and loaded w/our gear. Can't be much more that that now. There's only one scale anywhere near here and that road isn't open to trailer traffic until April so I probably won't know for sure until then...

For sure!

Started a thread for our trailer with details and photos here: http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/170209-Hiker-Trailer-5x9-Off-Road-Build

I got a lot of questions and photo/video requests after chiming in on another thread so I figured I'd start my own thread on our Hiker Trailer build. Up until last year we had a 4x8 Deluxe (non-Off-Road) model. We were able to take that little trailer quite a few places. For the most part, it...
