Any updates?

Yes I have made a bit of progress on the build have been very busy and have not taken much picture unfortunately

Trailer when I purchased



Fabricating brackets to raise and lower awning



Extended hitch tube installed



Aluminum Lid with 150lb gas struts and RTT installed


Awning installed yesterday


I have a maiden voyage planned for this weekend even though there is a lot more to do the trailer is campable and this will help me work out any kinks and gauge needs for future modification.

Nice. You work fast. I have a similar trailer but am not working the same speed you are. Hopefully I get my act together soon and start a build thread soon. Looking forward to your progress.

When u did the axle flip did u keep the hand brake? Just wondering if the cables were to short? Thinking of doing that to mine. Also any difference in how it rides?
