Here is what it looks like inside at the moment.
In the right lower corner you can see my PETT Portapotty. We asked Mark to modifiy the size of the cabinets on the right side so that it would fit in that corner. Once buttoned up inside the trailer at night we no longer have to go out to...
The 65 L frig/freezer is also a Dometic. For a test I tossed some beer bottles in and found it works great. I had to set the freezer portion down to 14 deg. F to get the beer chilled and the Klondike bars frozen. :p If you are an ADV dual sport rider you may notice that I am using ROK Straps...
More pics of my Beastie. We are still working out how and what to pack in the trailer.There is so much room for storing "stuff" that I am being very careful not to bring everything possible. Here is a shot of the passenger outside showing the cooking area when the drawer is pulled out. Both...
Hi Mike! Yes, I will be at both the NWOR and the BCOR. You'll have to look for me in the camping areas however. I will be with family and the Overland Bound crew from eastern WA/northern ID group at NWOR, and will be with a large family contingent for BCOR. I also have plans for attending...
Here is a shot of the solar panel sitting on the front box. It is braced by the spare tire in front. That 185 w panel is heavy! But it really puts out usable current. So there are three ways of charging the two 6 v batteries; first, while driving the alternator charges it via the 7 pin...
If your on Facebook (I'm not) look up Mission Overland. Mark keeps that pretty up do date. He has a video of the new hinge system for the rooftop and one of the interior of my Beastie. The one with my interior also includes a brief walk around the trailer too. Good stuff!
Hey Hillbilly Heaven, Good luck with the MRI. Here's wishing that all ends well for you. My 6th decade was a wonderful time in our lives. I'm sure you'll find out that is true for you also.
The iPhone coughed up one pic. Here is a shot of the solar panel being tested out. I was running...
The Memorial Day trip if off, unfortunately. A small issue with our paperwork precludes getting a license and stateside title. It will be taken care of early next week. This may be a hidden blessing as it gives me more time to properly outfit the Beastie. I've got a few pics I planned on...
My Beastie is the first unit of the Overland model. Mark is already improving the next build. I love the different hinge setup he is using on that unit. Take a look here:

Darche Eclipse 270 Awning Walk Around - YouTube
Darche Eclipse 270 awning Tear Down - YouTube
The Darche Eclipse is an incredible awning. BUT.... it is a bit of a bear to put away. I strongly suggest anyone thinking of getting a Darche watch the two YouTube videos listed above. There really...
One final thing for the night. I forgot to add the incredible storage space found inside the trailer. You can hide momma grizzly and two cubs in there! Will try to get some pics up showing this in the future.
We went up to Cranbrook today and met up with Mark and Marie and two of their children. Oh, and finally picked up the trailer and brought it home. Our original plan of getting it to Spokane two weeks ago dissolved in LaCombe. On the morning we planned on driving back home with trailer in tow...
I should have some new pics up here tomorrow night or Sunday. Here are a couple my wifey took of our trailer in LaCombe. Similar to the first two, but still a bit better than nothing. They give a better idea of the trailer's size in comparison to my 5th gen 4Runner.
This page is for present and future owners. Feel free to chime in and include your builds.
We finally got up to check out our Mission Overland Trailer this past week. It is the first of a new series by Mark Badgerow. Nanc and I had hoped to have it down for Expedition West but an unanticipated...
