I spent most of last winter building a M416 trailer with lid and rtt. The Mrs and I used it quite a bit over the summer. We love it! However, if I were to do it over again I would build a teardrop simply for the ease of setup. Additionally, we get a bit of wind here and I'd prefer to have hard...
I'm in exactly the opposite position, but my RTT is on a trailer. After a weekend of 25-35 mph wind I really started to question if all the time and energy I spent on building up the old M416 trailer was worth it. Listening to the fly flap around all day/night and coming back to our camp to find...
A couple things to add, for those will little to no experience backing a trailer.

I searched my inbox and found the metal hinge bushings that go with...
Thank you.
I was unsure if what I had built would suit my needs and didn't want to have to cut it off in case I got it wrong. Mainly I was unsure of the length. It is long but with the cooler and cans on and a swing out door I think it's going to work. It is a little longer than I'm used to as...
Thanks johnspark!
We got out yesterday for a quick overnighter. Took it up a fairly tame but rocky road and 30 or so miles of washboard roads. Everything worked well. I need to get a better system down for a few items but that will come with time. The first thing towards the organization end...
