    M100 - What to do with it?

    Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep

    My point exactly. I do jump my old one once in a while. . .because of the stiff springs, but it has never even thought about not doing what it was told. It is all .120 except for the RTT rack which is .095.

    Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep

    245/75R16LT BFG ATs. 3500HD with 2" lift. That combo gives me 20" of clearance under the frame with no weight on it. I imagine it to compress about an inch or so. . .maybe an inch and a half with the weight of the box. As far as the tongue, I can't say which type is better. . . underslung v...

    Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep

    I have read every post on this site and probably to the end of the internet on composite construction. I have also interviewed panel manufacturers in the refer truck space. It does make me feel good that I am barking up the right tree.

    No cargo trailer at all. Just similar in dimensions to yours. . .5.5x12x6'2". There is only one 3x2 cross member beyond the main rectangle and the connector between the Timbrens. The one that the tongue butts into. The rest of them are 2x2x3/16 angle. It is PLENTY stiff for 3500lbs. Also, I...

    Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep

    OK, so.. .back ground: I did 3 complete laps of the US in 2020 all while pulling and camping in my Opus trailer both on and off the grid. From the swamps of Florida to the beach in Texas, AZ and UT deserts, the Enchanted Rockies Trail in NM, SW Colorado and all the way up the Pacific Coast. . .I...

    2020 Opus OP2

    My RTT was far noisier in the wind. I am slighy nitpicky about the inside cabinets' construction but my complaints are minor. It is hands down the best trailer I have ever towed. I added a 140W solar panel and an inverter. I can stay off grid as long as the food holds out.
