Todd sitting here at my house at 6 degrees looking at you pictures. So awesome and thanks for sharing. Trailer looks so cool. You must of had help decorating. How does your bro like his Kimbo? So I assume you have all your organs and not ran into any cartel dudes,
I have been critical in the past on the weight of the Pause/ Reboot trailers but have realized that what makes them on the heavy side, is of coarse the rugged build, insulation, chassis suspension and tongue hitch. But mostly it is there size in box length when you compare to lightweight suv...
Yes absolutely but for my travels I would never pull over 4k with GX. Love the new LX 700 h Overtrail but 125k is crazy. I did reserve a Scout Terra EV but that will 2028 before they are to market.
Have you asked AntiShanty if they could go with 5200 pound Timbrens and maybe rate there trailer to 5k gvwr? I love my Trail Marker so not looking to go with anything new for a while. The AntiShanty is just to narrow. I believe the fendars are 7' 6" so the interior width must be 5.25 feet. I...
Damn you busted me. I stopped during the race to pose for the photographer. Did the same here on lap six. Vanity of an aging cyclist
How is van life my friend EPO?
3,800. It's 2,700 dry. Aluminum chassis and 3/4 " frp honeycomb sidewalls are very lightweight. To level trailer and still leave it hitch (just a one light stay) i had chalks under the Lexus front wheels and the drivers side trailer tire dug into sand. Makes the trailer look wonky (heavy).
Now I am really confused. I checked Boreas and Kingdom Camping and they both list the published axel weight rating of the cruismaster suspension as the gvwr of the trailer. I wonder if most builders don't really do much engineering to determine gvwr they just list the axel weight rating.
I guess what confused me is all the trailers I know most about and or the one I own have Timbrens. So I assumed the 3500 HD Timbrens that go on several different types of trailers have the same 3,500 pounds gvwr and axel rating. Taxa Mantis has Timbren 5200 HD and the gvwr is 5,200 as well. This...
I stand corrected. If a trailer is 2,500 pounds dry then has 1,000 pounds of cargo it weighs 3,500 pounds sitting on a level ground unhitched. I just assumed that tounge weight that transfers to tow vehicle would take that 350 pounds off the suspension, chassis and braking that are considered in...
Best case senirio is ask anti shanty to print 3,800 gwr on tounge sticker. I would assume the weight that is in the trailer and on the suspension (and brakes ) of said trailer while attached to tow vehicle is what should be compared to gwr of trailer. You could always roll with a tongue scale...
Most small craft builders often post inaccurate dementions and weights on there websites. Don't forget gwr is actual weight so 3,500 plus deverted tounge weight so 3,500 is more like 3,800 if the trailer has a 300 pound tongue weight
