If you camp in coastal environments at all, don't get rid of it. We get an insane amount of condensation in our CVT Mt. Shasta when we camp near the beach.
Harrisor - One thing to keep in mind when deciding between 12v 4pin and 12v 7pin is whether or not you plan to run electric brakes on the trailer which will require 7pin. 7pin also gives you the ability to charge your trailer battery when the vehicle's engine is running. Installing 7pin now...
Nice build!
Question for you, when you mounted your water tank, did you mount your water tank frame to the floor of the trailer or the frame of the trailer? I'm adding a water tank as well in the same place, and currently laying out my water tank frame design. Any other pics would be great if...
Hoghead raises a couple good points. The steel you want for nesting tubing into one another is called Telescopic Tubing. If you do go with large tube outside with lift tube inside like mine, drill a small hole from underneath the trailer directly under the large tube so that any water intrusion...
I'm actually doing the same the with a Pelican Vault 550 case I happened to have on hand. There is definitely some flex when the door is open with the heater attached, but I don't think it's going to be an issue long term. The classic 1550 is more sturdy then the Vault series. I'd be curious...
Looks great! You guys have all the fun tools!!
My only note is I know there was mention of pins in the side struts when the rack is up and the tent is deployed to take the stress off the actuators, but I would also pin it when it is in the lowered/travel position for the same reason. Bouncing...
Kelly's just messing with me! I'm fully interested too. Wrangler 4xe build and price just went live recently but I figure we are months away from actually being able to order the Gladiator version.
Double check your bumper hole size, this works with 3/8" to 3/4" holes and up to 1/4" think plates.

There's an NMO thick plate mount that's also the correct diameter so you dont have to drill your bumper. I have 3 of them. Let me find you a link.

This was my setup with linear actuators, 16" of travel, worked out very well for several years. I used threaded tube adapters in the tops of the telescopic posts after a welded nut setup failed (mostly due to a poor weld on my part). Trailer went all over in this configuration, Death Valley...
