Is the water fill set up to accept a 1.5" hose to the water tank? I may need one of these for my trailer build, the RV part I received is crappy and has city water hook up which I don't need.

I'm currently building my camping trailer and I've purchased a Xantrex 2000w pure SW inverter to power the 110v electrical system. I've always used smaller inverters for other projects and that got me to wondering. Do larger inverters utilize more 12v electricity to operate? Does an inverters...

I finally got my rack finished with Monstaliner, installed and my tent mounted. I had the pull the trailer out of the shop while it was snowing an mount the tent using the tractor so I have NO photos of that activity! Towed the trailer back home and got it in my garage (Family's shop and garage...

Thanks Dan! I didn't have much time to work on the trailer tonight but I got one of the struts installed, they are going to work perfectly. They are 8.25-14” and 200lbs each, but the force isn't vertical so this 1 alone makes the rack almost neutral, the second should offset the tent...

In an effort to save a few $ I decided to keep the very nice Turtleback long boxes and place them both on the drivers side. So tonight I spent a couple hours removing the small side boxes and preparing to relocate the passenger's side long box to the drivers side. These boxes will serve as our...

Got a little more work done on the trailer yesterday. Started by installing new Stainless steel hardware, I went with extra long bolts so I could get a 2" smooth shoulder for the arms to pivot on. I'll cut the excess threaded portion off at some point. I removed the 8 lug wheels and...

Thank you guys for your inputs, I'm still trying to decide the final lay out. The cheaper part of me is thinking I may put the two longer factory side boxes on the drivers side so they will be in the annex and replace only the passengers side with a larger kitchen box. I'm waiting on TB to get...

What if you installed a pair of kayak access ports? They are easy to install, Black, available in any number of sizes, cheap and water tight.

They were awesome! They let me roll my trailer into there ship and install the tent right there, they even gave me a helping hand when needed and used the forklift to set it on top of my trailer. I'll get you a height measurement once I'm home, but I can tell you it won't fit in my garage as is...

I understand the concerns with the floor vents my idea was to cut and re-sow the mattress so it had a couple inches of room around the vents. Also, my tent is mounted on a trailer so I got a HUGE tent, the CVT Denalli. It's about 2x larger than the one I had on my Jeep. My wife, kid and I can...

I plan on installing actual floor vents in my CVT Denali Extended Summit RTT. On side with return and one output. Just connect the hoses to the bottom of the tents floor when needed. Does the heater keep the RTT comfortable in weather -25? That's pretty impressive if it does without using a...

This looks fantastic! Will you have a low profile trailer hitch mount so it can be mounted to a trailer when needed?

Dave, After our conversion on the phone the other day I completely agree and I'm very glad you brought that up. I do plan on mirroring my build. I also LOVE your new side boxes and look forward to getting them from you for this build. They are exactly what I was looking for. For an update to...

If you contact Clearview, they will ship you an Easyslide from Australia for a fraction of the cost of anything you can find stateside (~600 shipped) and the quality of the unit far exceeds anything else I've seen in person. Here's mine:

When I found this 2015 Turtleback Utility model for sale on Expedition Portal, I knew it was the perfect platform for me to build off of. I contacted the seller, negotiated a wonderful deal and drove 36 hours round trip to North Carolina to pick it up. I'm the 3rd owner of the trailer and have...

Great build! Did you go back and do solid welds around all your skins or just leave it as spot welds only? If spot welds dose it keep the water out from the inside of the trailer?

Thanks for clarifying. So the spydertrax are OK indexing off the lugs, then it supplies the lip which is needed for 4runner wheels to index off of.

If I swap out the hub and I don't want to add additional width can I just skip the spidertrax all together? Thanks!

I've just purchased a trailer with 5x5 hubs, I'd like to run matching wheels with my 4Runner. Can anyone recommend a wheel adapter, I've located some but I want to make sure it's a quality product since so much is riding on it... Thanks!
