A small update after beating on it for 2 years. Went to a "floating air bag" and linked suspension for the trailer. On board air and ride controll. Primarly so it sits high on the trail and low for camping. The fresh air and pressurized cabin system works fantastic but you have to clean the...

Well, it held up and did its job, just returned from 9 days, 1348MI (706 dirt) adventure through the south west. Thank you for the advice and the reads.

Took it out for its first trip this weekend. I'm waiting on the wynters fridge to show up so took the sub par colman , On the roof is a single 100w solar panel, its charging 1 deep cycle blue top Optima, to run everything. Trying to decide which awning to go with, however with gear and fluids...

Have not done any updates in a while. So here you go. The exterior was in poor shape, I should have fixed this first, but live and learn. Sanded down, repaired the rust areas, and filled the seams. Primed , painted , and raptor lined the exterior. Then back to re assembling.
