The vinyl cover life span seems to be just a North American issue. The vinyl starts to become dry after 3 years in the sun and will eventually start to become more brittle and start to split by about the 5 year mark. The vinyl is treated with a UV block, and this protects it when it's used in...

I wouldn't use a solvent on the fabric. I'd first try freezing the tar with an ice cube and remove the solid tar with a knife. Depending how much tar was left at that stage I'd work the area with peanut oil or Tea Tree Oil to dislodge the tar. You can wipe up any excess with paper towels. I...

You may find the article I wrote a good starting point. After reading it you'll start to get the idea that the devil is in the details when it comes to RTT's. The choice of fabrics, how they are treated for water resistance, how breathable they are, durability of fabric, abrasiveness. Is the...

Alignment: The hinges are bolted to the main shell and the lid. Access to the bolts is via holes in the inner shell. Lift the lid to a vertical position Loosen the bolts on the side that needs to be moved Re-tighten bolts

All the information you require has been provided by forum members in this thread. You have the offer of help from AT, and Kilby's contact link. Do you need more information?

There are small air conditioning units made to cool dog houses that may work. If you live somewhere less humid that Maryland then try an evaporation cooler from Swampy.net

Looks like it could be a plug and socket to a National Luna fridge. If it is contact Paul May at Equipt1.com For sure the plug us a Hella plug with a universal adapter to a common 12 volt socket on the end of it.

There are various options for loading ramps, depending on how the Overland flatbed trailer will be used and configured, remember this trailer isn't just for transporting ATV's or motorcycles. They could be stored vertically next to the fenders, on the deck, under the chassis, or in a purpose...

The main issue with dust is along the vertical seam between the tailgate and the back side panel. I attached some rubber matting to the tailgate that took care of that. We have use bulb seal, 3 sections between the shell and the bed rail. Success rate on a good seal has been about 98%. For the...

I wish I could find the picture Jess the owner of Eezi Awn tents sent me when I asked him what the weight capacity of one of his tents was. He sent me back a picture of about eight of his employees crammed into the tent. Your issues are going to be setting up the ladder correctly to support...

Max Couplers are certified for on road use. That's what the SAE J683 on the label refers to.

I don't know the rivet length off hand, you are just drilling through the fiberglass skin and into the square tubing so it's not too deep. The awning should sit lower than the 3/4" down from the seal that I mentioned. This is the location to install the extrusion that the awning slides onto...

Jim, we have been very busy all year with trailer and vehicle builds. I still have a house in Truckee, but moved with the family down to Prescott a year ago. It's been a good move for everyone.

The aluminum extrusion is made by Fiamma and is specifically made to hold the awning. You need a piece that is about 3/4 the length of the awning. Awning extrusions that you can buy at RV shops have a slightly different profile and have to be modified to work with Fiamma awnings. Putting...

56" between the fenders From memory the deck is 98" long

Jim, you need to attend one of the tires clinic at Overland Expo.

Mark, if you are worried about the trailer brakes locking up on the downhill set the controller to a low setting and use the manual override to apply the brakes. That way you can apply the brakes variably, adjusting them for each section of the downhill trail. The biggest cause of roll over is...

We have used the uprights to attach a spotter line to. The actual amount of strain on them isn't that much. As you can see from the video the Chaser trailer is up around 60' + and hasn't come close to tipping. All you are trying to do is hold the center of gravity below the tipping point, not...

Building the web pages this weekend, it's been a struggle with the computer but I think I'm there now. Should have something to show early next week.

As some of you know I run the tire clinics at the Overland Expo, a small claim to fame I know :sombrero:, but based on this I have the following advice. If you are equipped with the right tools there is no need to use exploding fluids to re-seat your tire onto the bead. Not only is it dangerous...
