I did read through the thread by Hamster on the other forum. He lives in SoCal so maybe I'll see his rig on the road. I'm guessing that he still has a learning curve on dealing with a large and heavy trailer in really challenging offroad situations. A comment from him about a much larger "mobile technology center" trailer being garaged says that he is learning about size limits and that this is his second build.
My first observation is that the trailer looks to be as big or bigger than the H2. He may go on mostly graded dirt roads in the high desert where turning or backing up are fairly easy or maybe camp in some of the nice national forest campgrounds that also have graded dirt roads.
Second observation is an echo of other folks that the trailer is painted black and has a lot of metal so it is going to be an oven most of the year. It has an AC unit and a noisy Craftsman generator to counter the oven problem but no apparent sound insulation in the trailer. It does not appear to have a 12 VDC compressor fridge but it has a rear mounted winch. The running board comment in the previous post can be expanded to say that this rig has yet to be on a seriously rocky trail.
If I met the owner or if he was a member here I would be just as comfortable with my comments and I would likely have a lot of questions about the premise that this trailer was built upon. The answers could explain away a lot of the impolite assumptions made in this thread.
Give the guy credit for the build quality, the fit and finish as well as some fascinating features such as the removeable center section that allows the height to shrink
Just imagine what his 3rd or 4th build will be like if his offroading contiinues to evolve?.This guy could build some seriously awesome overlanding trailers. I wish I had his fab skills and resources to build my own trailer.
