Dealing with FRP is frustrating at the best of times and right now its at a low point. They continue to be unresponsive to phone calls, e mails and fax communication, but they always have been. The compounding factors are that this year they have seen a huge increase in orders and have had some...

Glad to see you're thinking outside the box.

May be instead of say " Leaf Springs are set for maximum load" I should have said they are "built for maximum load". When you look at the huge load variables with trailers, plus 285%, you end up with a leaf spring that's over kill at lighter loads. As you say they work well with desert racing...

The key to this is the variable load in the trailer vs. the leaf spring that is set for maximum load. If you read this article you'll see that trailers can exceed their unladen weight by 285%. Most SUV's have a maximum load rating of 55% over their unladen weight, so leaf springs will work...

It's a viable option. Typically trailer springs are short and stiff, not ideal for off-road. Taking a longer flexible leaf spring, many people are using Suzuki Samurai springs, to improve the flex is a good fix for softening the springs. The air bags will then allow you to maintain your ride...

The theory on a double charger is it feeds both batteries individually, so for example they each receive a 10 amp charge, and then if you have a smart charger the maintenance cycle starts. If you have a single charger (or a double wired as a single) and feed one battery linked to a second then...

The phase two version of the truck is complete. Phase one was the ARB front bumper, snorkel, OME shocks, and AT FlipPac. Phase two was the internal storage in the bed. Here is an overview of the bed interior. The right side has the fridge, and a top opening storage unit. At the front of the...

Drew You can have the stove made with the gas connection placed where you want, depends on if the gas line can be practically run to that location, but most are do-able. If you are thinking of putting the stove on a slide mechanism will the stove sit on a slide out drawer or will the stove...

By loading the bike on the back of the trailer you created negative tongue weight, which negatively effect the trailer performance to the point that it is dangerous. The rear 2" receiver is designed for light loads like a bike rack etc, the owners manual recommends no more than 150 lbs. Placing...

Stop often, smell the roses, stay calm. Mantra " I love my wife and children" repeat often :-)

We have 2" adapters made that can go from 5 on 4.75 to 5 on 6.5. The adapters are $275.00 plus the cost of the Land Rover wheel studs. If you are interested send me an e mail and I can set it up for you. martyn at adventuretrailers dot com

Yes the vehicle has progressed along well. It is in Prescott and I am in Lake Tahoe. I'll be back down in AZ in a week and I'll take pictures and do a write up. Thanks for being patient.

A good place to start would be the article I wrote for the "Resources" section of this forum. The article is non specific when it comes to manufacturers. It does explore tent construction, material, care and gives the pros and cons. With tents running $700.00 to $3500.00 there are definite...

indiedog I couldn't agree with your thought process more. Buying the right trailer for your own unique needs is key, and then outfitting the trailer correctly comes in as a close second. Sometimes the customer doesn't really know what they need so rather than selling them everything including...

I always try to think of simplistic designs, the arm to rotate the awning is complex in itself, the hoop idea also seems complex. We'd prefer to design something that does the job in a more straight forward manner.

Unfortunately it needs to be mounted to a roof rack to articulate around the end of the vehicle. We checked it out already.

Wade, I should warn you, I'm a black belt Origami :sombrero:

It had a moderate load. Mario took the JK Habitat and Chaser trailer to the Jeep Jamboree in Palo Duro, so it had a fridge, marketing material, personal belongings, and some sample product inside. We have an internal tie down system so nothing was disturbed as the trailer rocked around. We have...

Wade, thanks for the feedback. Did you manage to take any pictures?? I'd love to see them. All good ideas, the screen is the size it is because it is a part already in use with other stoves. Are you saying add a third hinge or add three more hinges? Either way it's more labor and parts. Have...

Bill, I'm very glad this is being resolved for you. And yes, beware of first posters who have a bone to chew or a flag to fly.
