Haha. No kidding.

Can't wait to see more pictures..............Leave plenty of travel time for all of the questions people ask at stops along the way.

Agreed, that's a fantastic build and people will be burning up lots of time asking questions. Plan on it! Nice!

Had an awesome time this weekend, got to my planned campsite by 7 pm on Friday and stayed until Monday. Just hung out with the fam and explored part of the pacific crest trail. Only ran into one other person on our way in and yes he did ask about the trailer and take pictures. Didn't see any other people other than the few on the pacific crest trail the whole weekend.


Base camp.


Right on the creek.

Camp is somewhere down there

Still enjoying the trailer, no other changes to report- hard to believe it's been a year already since I finished it! Just got back from another great NW overland rally with it.

I think a tour and setup video is due

First - nice build. Question. When the trailer is opened up and it rains, does the inverted cover collect water? If so, how do you deal with it?

 

[Expedition Essentials]

Good question? I have only had it in light rain so far: by design most of the water will not collect in the clamshell, if there is water I would close it slowly to allow the water to drain out of the corners before I latch it and before the point where it would enter the trailer.
