advice taken--Price lowered! $350 including shipping! I am selling my Hydrastar HBA12 1200PSI electric over hydraulic brake actuator. Works great, no problems. It is just that with the increase in weight and tire size with my trailer, I wanted to go a little bigger with the actuators and now...

You can use camp boxes too-- they go under where the bed pushes over. You just have a height restriction due to the bed of something like 24" but that is a guess. We don't go the box route, but you could fit a number of them in there, in additon to the under bench storage. For two people, you...

Sorry to hear about the water damage! I went overkill on my awning attachment and certainly made sure to avoid that dreaded water issue as I not only sikaflex'ed under the brackets, but also in the bolt holes and then over the bolts. here is how I mounted my Awning--did this to both sides so I...

It is bolted through through the top with 2x5/16" bolts that go through to a plate that runs the entire length between the two attachments. It is also bolted with a 5/16" bolt through the vertical side and temporarily has a fender washer to soon be replaced with a backing plate. It is all...

After many more nights on our coastline RV mattress, I am extremely happy as is my wife. She traditionally likes a softer top, but hates memory foam, and I like a little firmer and we are both very happy with the performance. Definitely not memory foam, but still has a great cushion with firm...

Yeah! And super simple, too. So right now the "male" part (for lack of better word) is on the awning and the female part is on the trailer. I have an extender that I have to finish welding, that has the same male part on a 3' piece of flat aluminum 3" wide bar stock and the female part on the...

Awning attached-- brackets on both sides. I'll get shots of the inside later.

Here is the awning portion:

I'll have it done for our trip next Thursday. Life got in the way and only been out once camping (boo hooo!). Glueing tonight, I'll drill it tomorrow and bolt it all up Wed (in theory).

I purchased mine a few months ago--because I have a bad back and was tired of fighting my trailer when I needed to roll it. I tried everything--solid wheels didn't work so I mounted a large off road air wheel (on the original tongue jack) and the darn thing would want to fold over instead of...

C-tek makes great chargers/tenders as well. I have been happy with mine. I think I went with the 7002 model.

This is precisely why I purchased the XO trailer jack/wheel. Because maneuvering the trailer is difficult in a good situation and it makes it WAY easier. I mean it. In a driveway it is an actual dream. On the trail it is doable. Well worth the dough... My trailer also has a manual...

I leave my ready welder hooked up to my miller all the time now-- just swap gas. Tip: when you turn on your welder, you need to depress the mug gun trigger to start the electrical flow to the ready welder gun.

I slept this weekend on my coastline mattress and am very happy. Communication is key with them, and they seem to be very busy. My first mattress was off on the measurements but they replaced it and threw in a fitted sheet for the trouble. Comfort is great for me-- I am a happy camper.

When attaching the arms, you should weld a bushing into the aluminum to distribute the bolts load. Ideally, I would size the bushing to allow a tapered bearing reside. Sounds harder than it is and then it will be very smooth not to mention not having the frictional wear. At least do the...

About Lock-n-Rolls service--they sent me my hitch and coupler and when I got around to installing them, I noticed I screwed up the rise I needed. Know what they did? Exchanged it right away, sent me out the correct one that I should have ordered without question or charge and were great to me...

I finished the water can tilters--super solid when locked, very easy to tilt. Also welded up the awning rack. I still have to attach them to the roof (and attach the brackets to the awning), but the "figuring out" part is done. I thought I could mimic the outside on the inside, but there is a...

On to the awning! I milled a slot in the rectangular tubing and that part will be welded to the curved brackets on both sides of the trailer as well as a set on the truck. The other portion bolts onto awning and there will be a set screw. Simply loosen set screw and awning can flop to...

Spent all weekend working on the Water Can "Tilters" which are attached to the rear of the trailer. Since I have a bad back and non-existent breathing ability (curtesy of West Nile), I wanted something that could stay attached to the truck and still be usable--which means I wanted them to tilt...

Still love the dog in the window....
