Little Guy

I chatted with Chris from Little Guy online the other day and was pleasantly surprised; they are not part of the Global Conspiracy Against the Tall.

We're thinking of selling our Conqueror Compact and getting a teardrop. But, at 6'5", I want a large bed in the teardrop.

I had hitherto dismissed Little Guy trailers. Seemed that they were "cute" but either didn't have a large bed or didn't have a proper galley.

Then the chat with Chris. And he says that they can build a Silver Shadow 6'x10' with a Rough Rider chassis. He'll make room for two Optimas, tires to match my JK, an ARB fridge.
:Wow1: :Wow1: :drool: :drool:
That's a rolling kingsized bed with a full galley on 33s. Everything I need.


I'm also thinking of adding solar and plan to consult with Jim at Optima abouth thoughts on that.

Suggestions, comments, advice, sympathy are all welcomed now.

Picture this trailer:
YouTube - Silver Shadow Highline 5 x 10

had a baby with this trailer:
YouTube - Little Guy Rough Rider

Or you could build your own such as the one I'm building, it is a 5 X 10 Benroy with 33's. SoCal Teardrop also makes some nice TD's. My bed area will be 7 foot with inside cabinets and a galley. There is a link to my build below along with some You-Tube videos. I really wanted a AT Trailer, but the wife said she did not feel safe unless it had doors.

Bill, you sell the trailer yet?

No; Joe came and looked at it, liked it, but isn't sure if the kids will really get into camping. He doesn't want to make a big investment until they show a dedicated interest.

I get all misty-eyed when I think about selling it. I suppose I'll craft a for-sale thread tonight though.

You should do a for sale post soon...

My Boss is an older guy who is huge into big game hunting and would like to get into a trailer that he can stay in for a few days at a time, and can make it to remote areas.

I need a link to send him with pretty pictures, and info.

What time in the afternoon?
I'll be there about 4:30 giving him my order for the trailer.

Forward it to this email:

luis.gonzales@ameco.com

Its my work email, dont ask about the odd name... long story.

I cant check my personal email at work due to filters.


I cant promise anything, but he was like a kid in the candy store when i showed him my trailer. He was asking tons of questions... where to buy, etc etc. Hes got the cash too.

Temporary hi-jack! I'll be in the SE Late March, want to wheel? My bro-in-law is in N. ATL(aka. Mall of GA almost) and is building a TJ, you folks seem like the right kinda trouble makers. Lets see if we can put together a day outing to meet up and roll.

Hi-jack off!

And? Did you give Chris the order?
It turned out as a waste of time; Chris was on a conference call and I waited there for an hour getting the run-around. I was pretty pissed by the time I left ---- the sales drones at the Subaru dealership were a sorry lot...

Chris might be coming by the lab today. I still want a trailer and I'm willing to still consider his pitch.
