Here is my current setup. I will be modding both the 02 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 and the 08 Starcraft RT10. The RT10 will get a full exo cage as will the Dodge. I hope to start the project in the next couple months.

Looks like a pretty nice set up to me. And you live in a state full of back roads to explore. What more could you ask for. :sombrero:
Just curious about the A/C on the trailer roof. How large is it in BTU terms and when needed how large a generator do you use? Or do you only use when AC power is available?

13.5K BTU, I only carry a small 1200 watt geny and only use the a/c for the rare trips in the desert with full hookups. That said the a/c is more drag than anything else.

Thanks. My new trailer will have a 13,500 BTU A/C unit. It will be my first experience with A/C in the sticks. I expect l will only use it when forced into the desert temps on rare occasions. I usually head for the higher ground during the summer.

Still in progress.
Did a little work to the trailer and got it ready to haul the family camp gear to the local state park. Got to work (ie, cook and clean) out of the trailer a little to help me decide the direction the build needs to go.
I knew I wanted to swap the springs but this trip really drove the point home!

How do you like your awning on the Jumping Jack? I keep wanting to get one for mine, but never do. I usually end up using two tent poles and a tarp.

It works well, although the bungee cord in the frame pieces broke so I have to be sure to use all of them ... Really good in the rain - lets me keep the back window open without water getting in. It also makes the gate a bit of a porch. I am still thinking of getting another one for the front.
You been out lately?

Not really, been using it to shuttle my Kayaks back and forth to the river and thats about it. I have a camping trip planned to St Josephs State park in about a month so it will get thoroughly abused then...lol.

I've got the tent open to clean and air it out and found an interesting thing ... I have the A/C in there and I looked out a couple of hours after starting it and found the tent all sucked in. Opening the door, it was like opening a can of coffee - woosh ... All the windows were fully closed so I guess that shows no major leaks.
You see that when using your A/C?

Here is one of my home built unit... sorry for the poser shot. I lost a lot of pics in a hardware crash
