Did they bend a wheel or the post? The post is marked for the height you should use during any movement. It makes sense if you think about the stress involved, especially on rough terrain. But even on any smooth surface, it's common sense to lower it just to keep the stress to a minimum. The...

Ark was founded in Australia and I mistakenly contacted them 1st. They were ready to ship me new wheels 'free of charge" until they realized I was in the USA. Turned over to Ark USA and their reply was "Please send some images when possible and I will see what we can do for you." So should find...

Just noticed an issue with the tires on my Ark XO750 Jockey Wheel tongue jack. On one the tread has actually broken and both have what I consider to be premature wear. The rating on the jack is 750 KG which is 1653 lbs and my tongue weight is no where near that. The only use the tires have seen...

My point is, if you're running off road and airing down, you'd best be running LT tires. You can brag and celebrate all you wish for what you're getting away with, but I'm just trying to pass on knowledge and people can do what they want with it.

Living where you live, maybe you're not aware that 'P' rated tires are not designed to be aired down for off road duty. When 'P' rated are mistakenly aired down and run for very long, their sidewalls will suffer undetectable damage that can only be seen by failure or if removed from their rim...

Agreed. What do you get if you err on the side of too much tire? Maybe spend a little more $ than you needed to, but usually a satisfied customer. What do you get when you err on the side of too little tire? If you're lucky, premature wear or failure ..... but if you're unlucky, a disaster for...

Did you consider a "dually" setup on the rear? The flatbed conversion "body" looks to allow it. It would add stability for the weight. And for that size of rig (IMHO) it wouldn't take away off road ability, not to mention give the rear axle, where more of the weight is carried, better flotation...

I also use the InReach, iPhone, iPad and Gaia combo. I initially loaded Gaia on my phone, but it's display is too small to be comfortable for me for maps. Now it's on the iPad and works great with the pro subscription for downloading maps ahead of time. Only issues with the iPad are the life of...

I got to thinking when figuring on how I was going to hang the heater on the wall that the small plywood trim piece would be better if I just removed it and cut a bigger piece that would also support the heater, so that's what I did. The paneling is as thick as the plywood (3/8") so the section...

Just repeating the comments that I've heard from 100% of folding RTT owners I've talked to & camped with. I've only owned a hard shell, so not speaking from experience, but did consider getting a folding one for the room and built in annex, before I got my squaredrop trailer (link in my sig). As...

Having the wife and kid(s) along on your camp trips is worth the extra pain of the folding RTT - and necessary for the sleeping room. No disrespect intended, but by that I mean the hard shell RTT's deploy and put away so much easier, plus the hard shell will far out last that cover that is so...

I just stumbled onto this thread and I don't have an Off grid trailer or know how the plumbing and tank is set up on these trailers. But on my 3 Feathers Mfg. trailer, the 12 gallon water tank is above the floor and so is the pump & all the plumbing. It's under the counter in the galley. I can't...

So been home for a couple of weeks and got time and weather to work on the heater. It's working out better than I thought that it would. Wanted to hang the heater on the wall under the passenger side window, near where the LPG hose portal that I fabbed. I need to get a scrap of plywood and not...

Well, it's been a year and finally got around to a heater. At Costco (Carson City, NV) wandering around and found a propane radiant heater on sale ($10 off) for $64.99. It includes a hose and filter for larger tanks since the 1 lb bottle limits heating time. Filter is a necessary thing for...

Just noticed this thread today, so it's been a couple months and if you haven't had any luck, yet keep an eye on the classified here on EP. That's where I found my squareback off road trailer (thread in my sig). Also, most of the negative comments about RTT's seem to come from the softshell...

Don't know what you're eluding to here, but I think you made your point about 10 pages ago. I understand this is your thread, but wow, talk about beating a dead horse! I agree with Gary (@gwittman ) as far as the LTX being an excellent highway tire and it would be a good choice if most of one's...

It's also a chore getting in and out of the RTT. I loved mine when I had it. I moved the RTT off my LC onto a utility trailer as a test to see if trailering was for me. It worked so well that the advantages made the small disadvantages disappear. I then justified (to myself) the expense of a...
