I have the original design. Very tight but doable.

 

[mep1811]

They changed the design at some point to make the cover larger. I don’t know if I have the larger cover or not. It’s very snug but I have no issues getting it to close after doing it 3-4 times.

A.

Time will tell to see how long the cover lasts. I have 100MPH tape and bungee cords to keep it closed when it does.

Installed the 23Zero shower awning from CB Adventure Supply on the Mission Overland trailer.
This is really going to be a game changer as we travel North to Alaska.

I agree! Mark starting installing a shower setup on Beastie. I have everything but the curtain. I will be installing something similar to yours once I get the trailer back down here. Having 37 gallons of fresh water also makes all this possible. That was one of the selling points for Nanc and me. Oh, great place to hide the portapotty too.

Your system looks like it was designed specifically for that location. You're going to love it.

I need to extend the shower hose. On the list for today.

 

[mep1811]

Extended the shower hose about 6 ft.
I use some quarter inch internal diameter reinforced vinyl tubing and two plastic quarter inch barbs.

The quarter inch barb does not fit snugly into the stock shower hose because it's metric.
I used some rescue tape to securely bind the two together and no leaks.

Great stuff Mike.

 

[Triggerh@ppy]

Any idea what the tongue weight is?

 

[mep1811]

Any idea what the tongue weight is?

I think Mark told me 220lbs

 

[mep1811]

Had a couple of extra Bug-Out Rack plates
And a couple of rotopax.

Now I can carry four gallons of extra water that is immediately available.
Nice to be able to finally make use of items they've been lying around the garage.

 

[Wendell-R]

That valve on the drivers side Rotopax looks pretty handy. What is it and where'd you get it?

 

[WU7X]

Mike, let us know if you ever weigh your trailer. I'd love to know what it is compared to my relatively stock one. Again, I sure wish I had that V8 you have nestled in your LC.

I got the spout from gowesty.

Can't be that much heavier than stock other than the water tank is full.

 

[mep1811]

Anyone else getting little holes in their canvas?
These are on the passenger side by the window.

I put some seam sealer on them.
