New AT Chaser

[smokymt]

Congrats and welcome home.

I know how you feel, just waiting for the first trip with your trailer. The great guys at Adventure Trailers are building a Horizon Trailer for me now. Mine is expected to be complete within the next 2-3 weeks, and I can't wait.

You're gonna love it!! This is the first summer with ours and it already has over 1800 miles on it! We'll put another 600 or so on it the week after Labor Day.

Nothingclever, and all the others that support us...Thanks. We take a lot of pride in what we do and means alot to know folks back home are behind us.

Ramjet, I chose the chaser because of the reputation the company had and in looking, have been for the last year over here...I wanted something my family could camp in comfortably that could be towed to remote places by my Jeep Wrangler. With the suspension setup, light weight and design cues from an old military trailers I am fond of the Chaser fit the bill to a T. We have been tenting it for years and I am just not ready for commercial camping yet. :roost:

Just got the final pics, Oh man, I can not wait to pick this bad boy up

Thanks, But you are making it too easy to go with the Chaser. Yours is really nice. Nice choice.

Boknows,

I'd take pride in what I do, too, but I keep getting distracted with a bad a case of the ****s from the chai water my counterparts keep getting out of the ditches and puddles.

I'll be home in December (hopefully BEFORE Christmas '08 unlike my LAD which was right before Christmas '07) and my wife is KEYED UP about a Horizon.

We'll see.....

I'd much prefer to have a new Ducati Multistrada to complement my KTM 950 Adventure but that's another discussion for another forum .

I like it!

Congrats on a fine piece of ExPo gear!...Your going to love it!

AT makes the best trailer!

After a long eventful trip back up with the 4runner the trailer is finally introduced to it's new hauler. I should be getting the new wheels and tires soon to match the trailer. She was overdue for some new shoes anyhow. great combo...time to get it dirty again.

Just installed some new LEDs and figured while I was back there I would hijack Mike's Idea and make the 7 way look a little more flush

I think it turned out well.

WooHoo!! It looks good! Nice job all the way around. Glad someone took my idea of moving the trailer plug. Giddy-up!

If it will fit, I recommend running the trailer wire between the swing-out and the bumper, then up to the plug. I find it keeps the wire snug and it won't get caught on anything since it stays entirely on top of the trailer tongue. It works great with my Jeeperman bumper so I don't know if it will work with yours or not.

Congrats! Mike

Glad you made it home safe and sound.

So if you have to get the trailer dirty again, does that mean you washed it? :sombrero:

Martyn,

Yes, that was the first priority when I got home so I could see the paint damage that I caused driving out of Tuweep on a gravel road too fast:safari-rig: . I am still shaking the dust out of my hair from that raod and you couldn't even tell the trailer was white. It was a great.

Mike,

Thanks for the advice, already made the change and it works well behind my LOD swingaway. Will probably be hitting you up when I install the brake controller.

Cool...did you camp at Toroweap? We were there for the first time, from Scott, Chris, et al's suggestion, with our Horizon after AT's Hurricane LakeFest last June. It was a GREAT place to camp! Can't wait to go back there!

 

[boknows]

Spressomon,

Yes, that was the second top on the trip and the real shakedown for the trailer. It was a beautiful place to camp.

Nice,

I like the Idea of moving the plug. I was going to do the same on my Rubicon. but this is the first I have seen it actually done.

The Idea is actually quite retro. Going back 66 years. The electrical connection will never get ripped off on the trail in that location. I will probably put it on the other side though so the wire is not in my way when I open the gate with my trailer hooked up. But then again I can only open up the gate until I get a toung box, and mount my Jerry cans.

Thanks, I can't take credit for it though. I stole it from TheMike's setup. Quite the collection of GPW and willys, very cool thing to collect. I saw this one sitting at a shop coming into the Kern River Valley and had to stop and admire, looks as if he had 2-3 more in the hanger
