    The Josh's M416 Trailer Build

    Yeah the roof rack and lights are a factor at lower gas mileage but I'll never give those up cause I love them so! I'll have more pics as soon as I get the trailer back and were going camping again July 4th weekend so I'll get much more!

    Thanks so much mark! I'm happy with how the tank mounts came out too. Its a simple design but very effective. The rubber quick fist grab on extremely tight and they didn't move one bit for the 650 plus mile road trip. I'm thinking of maybe making a few more to sell if anyone is interested...

    Made it to the beach late last night and setup quickly and sleep like a baby for the first night in our RTT The trailer towed great all the way down to pismo and tracked perfectly. Surprisingly I had excellent gas mileage all the way down at 15.1 miles per gallon which would be good without...

    Here is another angle of the bracket. I made it last night its for my 11lb tanks. The 5lbs just seemed so small and the 11lb looks perfect on the side of the trailer. I will show the finished picture tonight after I install the quick fists and make the second mount. I will also have a tab to...

    Thanks! I found exactly the ones I needed for a upgrade from.McMaster Carr. I went with 225lbs each that should hold the weight nicely especially when I add the solar panels Thank you. Even though the trailer is "finished" and ready for testing. Once I go on my trip and bring it back to get...

    Well the shocks are not enough to support the lid and the RTT. Now I need to find some before next weekends trip. Anyone have any suggestions?

    What did you end up doing for your gas shocks? I had 150lbs ones that came with my lid but with the lid and the RTT now its not enough force to lift the lid. So I'm thinking of getting 200lbs ones or maybe 225
