    M101A3 redneck tear drop build.

    Passing that off as a homebuilt would be tricky as hell in maryland. They want pics of the frame and tongue and receipts for the parts you used to build it. I am getting ready to go thru this in maryland. The other option and its not hard is Maine. Patrol65 wherein MD are you, I am in...

    Sears '67 overlanding trailer

    Okay on the cpaps the sheet you posted is they are 24 vdc. while that is not a huge issue it means either you need 2 batteries or run them off an inverter. Either way will work, you either buying 2 batteries or 1 battery and an inverter so the money is about the same.Then we get into the losses...

    Swing arm suspension?

    I have to say that was a clever way of handling the alignment and hubs. I thought about making my own system, but figuring out how to attach the hubs, keep alignment etc stopped me. I wonder how this could scale up for a larger expo trailer, not a tent on a box. I then would still worry about...

    Carrying Propane - exchangeable 20lb tank versus 2 smaller tanks

    No we must be the cool guy. I like the thought of smaller tanks but would not buy one. I was given a 5lb tank. I love the easy of throwing in the truck. If someone gave me one of the 11 lb tanks I would probably use it, except cold weather because of heat reasons.

    Carrying Propane - exchangeable 20lb tank versus 2 smaller tanks

    Cooking will take next to nothing, like a lb a day maybe. The water heater if an on demand is about 43000 btu is 2 lbs an hour. but honestly it might run 30 mins a day doing dishes and short shower ( limited to water storage ). propane is 21000 btu per pound Mr heater depends on which one. the...

    Tradgrans..trailer build. Its now is a pop top, We have a tent and AC

    Sawtooth ultimate is documenting it so much better than I can. Although he is burying conduits in the wall, I am doing steel tube for a buried skeleton frame. His methods are what I based mine on, very little differences other wise. I do have conduit in the floor and will use the steel tube as a...

    From the drawings of the one I linked to it looks like .73 inch which is 18.542mm. If the 20mm dont fit let me know I will send you one of the ones I have, too bad they are out of stock on amazon but I bet the could be found elsewhere.

    Tradgrans..trailer build. Its now is a pop top, We have a tent and AC

    The table is built on the frame using melamine coated osb/particle board for the bottom. The "bag" is pvc pond liner, pretty stretchy and epoxy wont stick to it. I also waxed the melamine surface so there is no way to have a panel get stuck to the bag or the table. I used 1/8 inch neoprene...

    Sawtooth Unlimited - Off Road Pop Top Camper Trailer

    My roll was 8.5 feet wide and 197 long. No wonder mine was a couple of hundred pounds more than yours. It kind of sucks I have all these 12-14 long 2.5 wide pieces that are scrap. I will be using some of it for small panels but not much.

    Okay per the request for pics, first wall panel laminated and cut to shape except over all length which I will do when I go to put it on the frame. The wall and floor panel are on a shelf I built for storage that is 6 feet off the floor. Its fun trying to lift a 75 lb 12.5' by 5.7 foot panel on...

    Off Road Camp Trailer Build

    Okay, I just know these work with 1/2 lugs and toyota alloy rims, I have a set and other people have looked before, and they wind up changing the lugs. Which I agree is the better way to go but they are 6 bucks a lug. And this is 20 or 24 of em, so plenty of spares.

    FYI you can buy lug nuts that match the toyota alloy wheel requirements but use the 1/2 lugs.

    Wrong axle received, new axle also received. case closed.

    At this point, I finally have confirmed they are sending a correct order over. Lets hope it does not get screwed by the time it goes thru the couple of hands it will touch before dexter gets it. But here we are end of day 4, and I may have another 4 to 6 week wait. With any luck per the below...
