Don't you just hate that Brad! When Mario get back from New Zealand, and recovers from his Wine Trek of the North and South Islands, we'll have to see if there isn't a solution to this

So would it be out of the question to adapt an AT suspension to something like a Fleetwood Neon pop up camper?

The kit is engineered for small military trailers so we have no idea how it would handle anything else. If someone was to buy the kit and apply it to something different they would be on their own.

Gotcha. So would it be safe to say that the trailing arms would need to be enlarged to accommodate a larger box?

I'm just a dummy when it comes to suspension so I'm not sure which differences between a pop-up style trailer and a military trailer would impact the feasibility of adapting the AT suspension kit. I know these are shot in the dark questions and that it's not really practical to get into anything too specific with it.

The trailing arm uses 3500 lbs bearings and spindles. So depending on the maximum load of your pop up loaded up it might work. This is one of the reasons we only sell it for military trailers, there are so many variables with every thing else it would be like doing custom calculations for every application.

GVW for the trailer is only 1500 lbs, so I don't think weight would be an issue. If anything would stand in the way of using a standard kit, my guess is it would be the size of the box itself. I would imagine it's a touch larger then the AT's or the military trailers.
