Looks like you ditched the military tires and wheels as well. Also, re-wired?
Very nice job.

Ooops ... I see you mentioned that down by the pics ...

 

[johnnydcope]

Yes, I went swapped out the wheels & tires to match my tow vehicle and re-wired to a standard 7-way connector.

I cannot tell from your pics. Have some questions:
Where is the galley? Is it a slide out or does it need to be unloaded and set up?
Have you been happy with ARB fridge/freezer? How long do things stay frozen?
Does your RTT have a condensation mat underneath mattress?
How thick is mattress?
Can bedding be left inside tent when closed for travel?
Approximate miles on trailer and tires?
Did you install a hitch receiver on back to allow for a bike carrier?

We have a 2017 Tundra CrewMax.

Great job, by the way, with your overall build! Thank you for your time.

Anji - Feel free to call me at 512-809-8990
Galley: we use the Coldcreek Outfitters outdoor workstation with faucet plumbed to hot water (see spec list above), in conjunction with the tailgate. I use the cutting board / covers from the outdoor workstation (sinks) and place them on the tailgate to create a level work and prep surface with my stove on the tailgate as well. There's LED lighting to make cooking and cleanup easy at all hours.
We've been happy with the ARB fridge. We usually start out with it as a freezer and employ a large Yeti (not going with trailer) as our fridge. When we've gone through our frozen items, I increase temp to 33 and use the ARB as fridge and stop using the Yeti as the need for keeping ice on hand can get old when on the road for weeks at a time. If a week or two - or less, the way I described, Yeti fridge + ARB freezer, is ideal. The ARB freezer can go into the teen temps, so things remain frozen so long as you have batteries. Those two batteries provide 210 amp hours. When the compressor on the fridge is running, it pulls about 1 amp hour. See the technical specs at https://arbusa.com/portable-fridge-freezers/classic-sii-range-fridge-freezers/. Amp hours draw is a function of desired inner temp (as low as 0 F) and the outside temp where the fridge sits. At max draw of ~1, you'd have 210 hours (8-3/4 days) before the batteries would need charged. The trailer charges batteries when being pulled due to dc-to-dc charger; when on the ac-to-dc shore power charger (which will operate the fridge from ac), from the solar mat OR using the included 2000W gas powered inverter. We've never encountered a situation where we sat for 8+ days or couldn't charge in one of the aforementioned means.
RTT has the OEM mattress: 92-1/2" x 74-3/4" high density 60mm thick high density foam with cover. I do have a gel foam egg-crate topper laid in there for added comfort during long trips. No condensation mat needed as the tent is up in the air and the flooring provides a temp-neutral barrier. We leave both mattresses, 4 sleeping bags and two pillows in the tent when folded. Our two girls like to keep their two pillows in the tow vehicle when moving around ;-)
There will be new steel wheels & tires put on the trailer for the new owner. Those on it match the other 6 I have for a Land Rover LR4 (4 on truck, two spares and 2 on trailer). I'm not splitting up my matching 8 wheels & tires as they're interchangeable and with TPMS in all 8 ;-). I have custom-milled spacers on the 6x5.5" lugs to allow my [odd] 5x140mm wheels. The steels wheels I'll put on will be 6x5.5" that match your Tundra CrewMax. If you're the buyer, you tell me the tire and wheel size your running and I'll put the wheel [size] and LT tires to match. I won't let you leave with mismatched things...I have issues being waaayyy to picky about things like that. That way your spare for the Tundra can work for trailer & truck as needed in a pinch ;-)
No hitch - but that's something I've been contemplating and would be happy to install for exactly that reason. You cannot put too much weight hanging off the rear of any trailer or you're asking for certain trouble, but bicycles and carrier would work awesome. You'd want a drop-down carrier or you'll block the function of the tailgate and quickly get frustrated with the setup. I have an old SoftRide model like this https://www.rvupgradestore.com/Alumina-Hitch-Mounted-3-Bike-Rack-p/26428.htm that would work perfectly...and could be talked out of it if needed.

You're in Las Vegas? Hope that answered all your questions. Happy to talk as I'm hostage here with house painters making ready as we're selling our home in Austin...so I'm around.

Hey! Thanks for your quick reply, and answering my myriad of questions.

I’m curious: What made you think I was in Vegas? We had a house there but sold it two-years ago. Our daughter—more importantly—two, oldest grandsons still live there. We are originally from NE OK but currently live in Punta Gorda, FL, just north of Fort Myers. We frequently drive to OK—well, before COVID—because our siblings live there, and after my husband retired from USAF in 1997, we lived there for almost 20-years. So, picking up trailer in Austin is no problem. Our oldest son lived in McAllen for three-years, until five-years ago. Now, he lives in Northern VA but works in D.C. I know those highways well. Especially the autobahn..woot 85mph! We are high-mileage people. Are you moving away from Austin?

We already have two, YETI coolers; large and small. It’s amazing how long things stay cold! Thank you for explaining about fridge/freezer. Our overlanding plans include driving the ALCAN and spending a month or so in AK. We lived there for five-years when Carl was in USAF.

I, too, am slightly OCD about mis-match. I wonder if I can find our Tundra wheels? I just put new Pirelli Scorpion tires (LT285/55R20) on in March. Our Tundra CrewMax is an SR5, 4x4, w/TSS Off Road Special Edition Package—black, that can only be purchased in TX, OK, LA and maybe AR. That package included 20” black wheels and 28” A/T Plus tires.

Regarding the condensation mat: I’ve been researching expedition trailers for about two-months. Those mats are recommended for RTT. “They say” heat from bodies, mixed with cooler outside temps causes condensation to form under mattress—leads to mildew—because it doesn’t have ability to circulate air underneath. I guess you haven’t had that issue? But we might since we will be camping in colder climates.

Do you know height of trailer to top of RTT? It needs to fit in our garage. Height would be our only problem.

Thanks, again, for your prompt reply.

Regards,

Anji Bradshaw

It's tall - 8'-3". I've had no issues at all with condensation. it's on rails above an unconditioned space and the floor panels have some corrugated material between the aluminum sheets that must act as a buffer / insulation as well. We've not even had the typical interior condensation issues so long as you sleep with the sky windows open and at least one side window. I have a few contacts that can help you run down a few extra Toyota wheels if you want them to match the tow vehicle exactly. My friend that has a similar trailer and Lexus LX570 has flat black steel rims on the trailer - same diameter and same tires as the 570; and it all looks good. I look like the fella that spent too much on wheels and tires to match exactly.

“I look like the fella that spent too much on wheels and tires to match exactly.” I may or may not resemble that remark!

We’re going out the door to have dinner with friends. I’m not sure of our exact clearance but I’m thinking eight-feet is too high. Like many people who have downsized their homes—5000sf to 2300sf—are holding on to power tools, wheels/tires, USAF keepsakes, things for our children/grandsons, and 40+ years of worldwide, collected Christmas decor, we are already paying a sizable monthly car payment’s worth to a storage place! Down here in gray-hair-ville, owning a storage facility is a money maker. Rates are at least triple or more than what we paid in OK two-years ago. Plus, wiring would be eaten by field mice or palm rats, not-to-mention mildew, fading, and rust factor when things are left outside.
