The cooler is awesome, and extends trip potential in the deserts by another month or so. It took a good 10-15 degrees out of the awning room.

I am sold.
It does need a back wall (bugs at night with a light on) and a better floor. The flooring they give is really light and would work well in most cases except dust. I will probably use that floor for all of the mountain camping and use a canvas tarp in the desert. The floor is comes with is like a screen mesh, designed to keep hard dirt and grass/leaves, etc. out, but dust can come through.
The room is extremely useful while cooking, and would be a savior in the rain or snow (the main reason I wanted it). I had two chairs, two big storm case boxes and my food prep set-up in there.

Not sure yet. For right now the big BFG's work great, but it would be nice to lower the rolling resistance.

I'm thinking along the same lines Scott. I have BFG M/T 255s on my Chaser and on my swing-away spare, but for most trailer duty think that a quieter, smoother tire with less resistance would work well. The only advantage I might loose by pulling the BFG M/Ts from the trailer would be my option of using them as secondary spare on the Mall Crawler (same size) as I have a second 32-inch spare under the car that can be mounted on my Chaser.
I liked the look of Pasquale's aggressive all-terrain ElDorado Trail Cutter R/T tires in 255/85 on his trailer enough to make a few calls about them upon returning from the ExPo Trophy last week. I'm still waiting for my price/shipping and availability from my tire shop, but their initial report information was that the customer service directly from ElDorado Tire is slow & poor.

Just got off the phone with my tire man, still no return call from ElDorado tire. Plan B was to have him check availability for an all-terrain, all-season tire in 255/85. A couple other Les Schwab stores have a couple sets of four all-seasons in recently discontinued tread designs, one sets is only $132.00 per tire!, the other is a more typical $182.00. I'm going to drive down and look at a picture of the treads.

Ok Mr. Mum's the Word: You want to elaborate on the model, performance, flex tubing to heated location and the location and bracket type where you have it mounted on your Chaser? Or do we have to sign a confidentiality agreement? :violent-smiley-031:

Great trailer, can't wait to hear the details of the heater and how you like it.
