You might be able to find poles that would work. Use the existing pole as a model and all you'd need is the screw to secure it at the top. Use the method I showed in post #693 with a thumbscrew and wingnut for the pole as well as the strap. If you only install them when you want to attach a...

You only get 1 supporting pole & tiedown strap with the Shadow. You need to order the wall kit ("full blown enclosure") to get the other 2 poles and straps. I would not attach any "wind break panel" to the existing velcro on the awning without all 3 poles securely tied down. Just some advice...

Trailer sold

Got a little crazy and hooked it up to my F350 to see how it tows it. I'm not sure if the truck knew it was there.:rolleyes: I couldn't tell the difference - unless I checked the mirrors. I had to make some changes on the 7 pin trailer connector on the truck, anyway. So, I made sure it was...

Just listed the trailer in classified: 2017 CVT RTT utility trailer

Location: Canyon City, OR 97820 (near John Day) This trailer was built to tackle the Rubicon. It's not an old pickup bed converted to haul camping gear and slap a RTT on it. It's stout - for example - the axle is not the typical 3500 lb HD for ruggedness. It's the 5000-6500 lb - I know , I...

Thank you! Yeah, the wood has me concerned, but I think the main frame (of the cabin) is metal. Because of the "shelter in place", I haven't made it out on the trails yet. But soon I think. Rural Oregon is more lax on traveling than the I5 corridor. There's also "noise" that Eastern OR will be...

Thanks, guys!

Thanks, Phil! I'm hoping before summer hits. I'm still looking to take a short shake-down cruise into the Owyee backcountry for several days. I imagine most of us are suffering from an extreme case of cabin fever about now....?

I'm satisfied with the tongue and Maxcoupler clearance at almost 90*. The spare tire might contact the tongue on an extremely tight RH maneuver in rough terrain. The Anderson connector is for trailer battery charging from LC while traveling.

Took a short drive with the trailer in tow and decided to take some pics. Trailer and LC weren't loaded for a trip but some exterior pics were in order. Tongue appears to be riding almost perfectly horizontal, which is good. Looks like the hitch jack wheel might help keep the tongue off the...

The trailer came with a Mr. Heater BOSS (battery operated shower system), model XCW20 which was top of the line. However, and I was warned by the PO that it had some freeze damage. He had taken a quick look inside and saw a hole in the main heating manifold. But when disassembled, it was...

To all you Shadow Awn owners, especially if you have the wall kit: Who's tired of trying to cram the tie down straps back into the support arms while you're packing up to leave your campsite? Well, I am and I figured out a fix. The only time you need the straps attached is if you're...

Thanks, Phil! This replaces my CVT utility style. I"ve been wanting an off road teardrop since traveling with @Ace Brown in Baja. Thought I'd start with a cheaper util style and see how I liked trailer traveling and camping. Well, I found that it works for me. I had been scouting classified adds...

Thanks for your feed back! Good to hear!

Is any one using one of these. I read up on propane stoves, because I wanted to replace my old Coleman 2 burner 413E that's served me well, but aging. I've been experiencing a lack of control of the flame intensity and heat control, which I'm sure can be at least part way cured with a rebuild...

Since welding is not one of my skills, I hired my local welding & machine shop and supply to cut the original hitch off the tongue and drill holes to accommodate both the original cup & ball style or if I expect to tow in rough terrain I can instead, install my MaxCoupler hitch. (Wilson's...

I set up the awning and wall kit to get the full effect. My driveway has some slope to it, so it was a little challenge to simulate a level camp spot that hopefully it will be set up when camping. I used cinder blocks at the corners and door to simulate wall tent pegs in case the wind kicked up...

My under the trailer wind block project seems to have worked out as planned. I also like the additional privacy for when camping in areas with other campers. They fold up completely out of the way for transport and when deployed provide fairly secure under-the-trailer storage while camped with...
