After getting the trailer home and going over it with a fine tooth comb there are a few issues I need them to fix. I think the axle mounts need more reinforcement. They used a thick piece of steel angle (see pic above) to move them further outboard for clearance. This is not a mounting option...
I enlisted the help of a local trailer manufacturer, http://www.trailermadetrailers.com. They build stout, steel trailers for moving heavy equipment as well as frames for tiny houses, along with custom work. Interestingly, they might be getting into tear drop builds as they had one going and...
I started with a 2015 Cricket, not sure if it was the Camp or Trek edition or some other iteration but it has dual 12v batteries and is prewired for solar with a large Zamp panel, fresh and grey water tanks with 12v pump, small electric water heater and Dometic sink inside. Also came with large...
Some have asked for me to document what I'm doing to my Cricket so here goes.
I started my camping trailer life with an AT Chaser w/ large rooftop tent. I'd still have it today if not for the wife and kids needing a little more creature comfort. I wanted to still get off the beaten path but...
You're now the 2nd person to ask about a build thread. Looks like I need to do one. I should have the trailer (on a the new frame) back in a couple weeks and I'll start a thread
Want someone to recycle this thing, even if it's just for the wheels, brakes and axle and scrap metal for the rest.
I bought a Taxa Cricket but the frame leaves a little to be desired for more serious off road adventures so I'm having a custom frame built. I have the old frame which will go to...
Here's a quick pic. You can see three bolts along the front of the plate and two in the rear corners. That's where I bolted to factory tie down locations. There are 4 holes on the passenger side that have the t-nuts on the opposite side where I bolt the drawer down. I plan to add some airline...
I did this mod for my 100 series. 3/4" birch bolted down in the factory tie-down locations with cutouts for the seat mounting hardware. I put t-nuts in the plywood and have a low profile arb drawer with fridge slide on top. I can use one 3rd row seat with the drawer and fridge in place and...

Selling because we've moved on to a hard-sided trailer from our AT Chaser with this tent.

It was a Mt. McKinley Extended Stargazer when I bought it but is...
I've got a bunch more pics of the tent, awning, camping gear, etc. but am having a hard time uploading here. If you want to see them, PM me an email and I'll send them along. Thanks for looking.
