@ClearwaterScott - Sounds good. No problem on arrangements if I stay over, my GMC Savana is plenty comfortable for sleeping. I've used it for years in various configs, all over the US and Canada, winter and summer. Let me know if you need a hand with anything while I'm there, from...

@RagnarD - Hoping to pick it up the week of 8/20. Going to Schutt, too, to pick up the swing-away tire carrier, ARB Compressor kit, pure-sine inverter, and hard-rolling titanium cover. I'll install all that myself once I grab the trailer in OK. Was too good of a price not to grab, really...

Well, I ended up catching a great deal on a brand new 2017 XV-2 showroom trailer with almost all the options I'm after. Has a 2300# rated torsion set-up, so that's what I'm getting. I've been talking to the commercial manager at Schutt, though, to see what the heavier axle will be cost-wise...

@ClearwaterScott - So far, looks like I'll be in Oklahoma the week of 08/20, then depending on who's where when, will be running to El Paso and Alpine TX to pick up some gear and tools. So, probably on my way back, and not definite enough a date yet to say. I'd swing by on my way down, but won't...

Schutt Industries sells both a hard folding cover and a hard rolling titanium cover for their XV-2 trailer. They are the same price and both built quite rugged, from everything I've read. The hard folding cover has panels that each lock to the rail. It can open from either end. The hard rolling...

That's a good deal on two, and gives you the 30amp outlet, too. I just bought one, though if I was close enough, would buy these two and return mine, still unopened. I won't be out that way for another month or more. Good luck with the sale.

Whoa, Fritzoc, that's amazing! I'm glad you posted the update. That turned out just awesome, I mean, a really good looking trailer. After pondering the amount of time and energy etc I'd have to put into my T3-C and M416 to get them the way I want for off-road camping--especially with no inside...

ALL cases are spoken for as of 11:30 Sun 08/06. If anyone fails to follow through with payment and a case becomes available, I will notify the next person on the list. Thanks

Hey Stryder, only one person has followed through with payment so far, and you're next on the list to notify, actually. Am just going over it all and the mess of vague msgs people are leaving in various places. Crazy making. I'll PM you the details on shipping possibilities to your zip. Payment...

Ordered a couple through the store the other day, looking forward to using them on the road. . .

Stryder106, a LOT of similar requests before yours by PM and email throughout the night. All requests will be considered in the order in which they were received. Those with their names on cases from last night have until this evening at 8p EST to send payment. If any cases remain, I'll notify...

PM reply sent. They're going fast and I'm taking names in the order in which they've been received. Cases will go to those who can firmly commit with deposits (for en route deliveries in person) or full payments for shipping. See next post in this thread.

Hey TwinStick - you've been on here a long time! Thanks for your input and suggestion. I'm not sure how easily an adjustment/removal of the torsion rods could be made (though I have no idea, to be honest). It's also been suggested by a Schutt XVenture dealer that it's an easy swap from a 2300#...

Ha! Dan, I like your style, and appreciate you clarifying your earlier comments. To hell with the trolls. The XV-2 from Schutt Industries has a torsion axle, so no conventional spring pack sitting on the axle, as I understand it. No leaf spring arrangements at all, whether over axle or under...

I enjoyed checking in on this trip report and thoroughly enjoyed your stories and tidbits of info. Well done, PetitFrereArmada, thanks for doing it.

ALL CASES ARE SPOKEN FOR and deposits/payments have been made. Thank you for your interest. If any more become available, I will let you know in the order in which inquiries were received. Thank you. I picked up eleven (11) Pelican 1510 cases with no foam and am passing them along at...

Hey RagnarD - thanks for responding. I was just going through 'RagnarD's M101A3 Build' last night and skimmed through your Dad's build just now. some really great fab work. I see Shiner is a valuable part of parts and provisions. I agree. Your trailers with tubs end up around 1200-1500 lbs...

Hey @DanCooper, thanks for your input and experience with a 3500# rated axle. Not a real conundrum really, and nah, I'm not expecting the trailer to behave the same under both light and heavy loads, and know full well that it'll either bounce a bit or feel bogged down, depending. But I am very...
