    XVenture Goal Zero electrical/wiring diagram?

    I would be interested too. I like how the Goal Zero is an integrated unit (battery and outlets and monitoring capability). I'd like to see how it is incorporated into a trailer (and the trailer's wiring).

    Camp Chair Recommendations

    I might have to check these previously mentioned chairs out: https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/front-runner-expander-chair.html I bought two of the ARB folding chairs for our last outing. Very comfortable and sturdy (so much better than the cheap $8.00 Wal-Mart folding chairs), but...

    RTT's and Large Breed Dogs - How Do You Cope?

    How about a folding aluminum ramp? They sell this either 8', 9', 10', or 12" long http://www.discountramps.com/ez-rizer-single-runner-motorcycle-ramp/p/MF1-EZ-AMR/ They also sell this in an 8' length specifically for pets: http://www.discountramps.com/7ft_pet_ramp/p/DR15-Pet-Ramp/ Or...

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    It would be nice (and they might sell more) if they had a "no tires and wheels" option.

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    Here's the trailer. Everything in the picture may not come with it (like the tent and awning? I'm pretty sure they don't). Looks nice; although I'm not a fan of the independent rear axle (would rather have springs and a solid axle). 5 on 5 bolt pattern limits it to JKs; wonder how hard it...

    Small Off Road Trailer

    Umm...10,000 lbs is five tons - we're comparing apples to apples here; what am I missing? My trailer fully loaded weighs in at around 1250lbs - I think I have a good margin of error here. And even with both my lunette ring and pintle hitch non-rotating, I've got a pretty good range-of motion...

    Small Off Road Trailer

    Yes I am. What is your point? Design and market a simple swivel lunette ring that'll work with a 2" receiver tube and I will buy the first one. Even better if you can design it with a spring to provide tension (just like the military versions). And there will be a line of folks behind me...

    Small Off Road Trailer

    Mine is correctly set-up. For what you're talking about in a military application - yes. However, if you've got a 2" receiver on the tongue of your trailer, they don't sell rotating lunette rings. You've got to go with a fixed unit that slides into your receiver tube. They do sell (in...

    Small Off Road Trailer

    With proper tongue weight, a pintle hitch is fairly quiet. It doesn't have the 360 degree articulation as a lock-n-roll, but it is better than a ball hitch. And very easy to connect and disconnect.

    Denver Outfitters - OverRoam RTT

    Read through your Subaru Crosstrek thread (pictures don't load by-the-way). We just recently bought a 2017 model after our 2003 Kia Sorrento died (when they say interference engine, they're not kidding). So I googled Primitive Racing. Cool stuff for the Crosstrek - thanks for sending me in...

    Tongue setup dilema

    Can you mount the box against the tub centered, and then mount the jerry can on one side of the tongue box, and the propane tank on the other side of the tongue box?

    SAR Work with a Felony

    I second the Army route. I just retired from the Army after 34 years. If you can get in, you start with a clean slate. You have to take an entry exam (ASVAP or something like that - kinda like an IQ test) prior to being accepted - heck - buy one or two and study them before you go to the...

    Guns into Canada?

    Good points. I don't remember if I've ever been asked about weapons when traveling back into the USA. It is nice they took a credit card for the $25 entry fee. Although I wouldn't want to count on every border crossing station to accept a credit card. I'd still recommend having at least $25...

    Trailer bouncing from side to side

    If the suspension is too stiff it might "bounce" vs. the suspension doing what it is supposed to do (absorb bumps).

    Trailer bouncing from side to side

    As stated above. Check out this 30 second video that shows what happens when you don't have enough tongue weight. https://www.uhaul.com/Articles/Tips/8335/How-To-Request-Your-Own-Safe-Trailering-Demonstrator/

    Small Off-Road Trailer from Hi-Standard Outfitters

    If I ever decide to electrify my little trailer, I'm calling on you to help. That looks like a nice clean wiring job. I've got a 7-pin wiring harness on my trailer (electric brakes) and as long as it is connected to the tow vehicle I've got one always hot wire (currently capped).

    Small Off-Road Trailer from Hi-Standard Outfitters

    Yes; I should probably replace "overpriced" with "expensive compared to if you built it yourself", or "I can't afford to spend that much money". I fully expect a company to pay their employees making the product, and to turn a profit if they're a one-man shop. And operating costs include...
