necessity is the mother of all invention...great idea.

This shot is a little far away but you see the King Kamper has the same deflector frame with lower mud flaps. It works great. I towed it through some nasty sticky mud and the trailer stayed resonably clean.

Might have been this picture, though it isn't an AT, its the custom trailer I assembled

Looking forward to seeing some neat "mud" solutions.

Yep thats the picture!

More info on the Outlander trailer on the 'net? Couldn't find anything specific.

Thanks.

Another good mud trick is to get the biggest cheapest "PAM" type spray and go to town. Smells like you are cooking something when the exhaust heats up. Works great. Just a little water on the mud that sticks and it falls right off.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Anything unique about these trailers (suspension/construction/etc)?

He has several options, torsion bar axle, leaf sprung etc...

There are different sizes available with a variety of box configurations, optional side boxes, top open, rear open...

The sprint car guys use plain old baby oil to keep the mud from sticking. Perhaps I should have tried some before Alaska. I've been quite impressed with how rainex keeps it off the glass.

Looks like if you put the bed back on the truck you wouldn't need the trailer.

You are correct, maybe I will redesign my entire set up.

Well,

I just got the trailer so I don't have a good answer or any experience yet.


My real intentions are to use it a base camp while wheelin' trails, so I don't know how much mud it will really see.

I grew up wheelin' in mud (southeast Louisiana) now I avoid it like the plague

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these, any input now that you've had it for awhile?

Just back from northern Quebec. 4,347 miles in 20 days, over 1400 miles on gravel roads. As you can see, the paint took a lickin'. Plastic jack handle completely blasted off. Lost 1 bearing buddy cap. Tore off 1/2 of the trailer wiring harness on the Trans-Taiga (I should have disconnected it...I was able to get a new part and fix it in Radisson, QC)

I could not be happier with this trailers performance. Bomb-proof!

Wow, quite the trip... good to hear!

Yo Rhode. I talked about you a couple weeks ago. I went and had a look at the trailers. Robert does seem to have a good outfit. I'm glad to hear your trailer held up well. Makes me even more inclined to get one.

You have a Sherpa II correct? I am leaning towards the Sherpa because its a bit smaller and lighter. I dont want to have too much strain on the vehicle. Do you have the multi-axis hitch or just a regular ball hitch?

Now that you've spent time with the rig, what would you say you would have done differently?
