Spy photo of new AT Trailer

[Martyn]

Based on his avitar(Flag of Wales) and brief phone conversation with him, I think Martyn is Welsh (from Wales, part of the UK.), therefore his name may be spelled a little differently. Its pronounced "Martin", but spelled the British way. Kind of like they spell "tire" "tyre", and many other small differences.

Martyn, if im wrong you have full permission to cut out my tongue, and feed me to the alligators. Or whatever torture you may prefer.

Martyn is the Welsh spelling for Martin.

There is no "I" in the Welsh alphabet so it's substituted with a "Y".

The question always comes up "If there is no "I" how come your last name is spelt Davies", Davies after all is one of the seven or eight Welsh last names.

Last names or surnames are a relatively new phenomenon and were adopted only when people moved into towns and cities. By that time the English had invaded Wales and subjugated us with their language.

It's a better story told over glasses of beer and wine.

Can't wait to hear it all at the June Camp out even if it takes SEVERAL GLASSES!

Very interesting.


Hows the trailer coming.:jump:

If that rack can be made to attach to the side and slide/roll out like a drawer it would be accessable from the front of the trailer. You would be able to use the safari rack/ or cargo box still for storage.

Getting a king size bed requires 73" of width. The orientation of the trailer would mean that the trailer width would end up being around 77 inches wide. That's a good 8 inches wider than most vehicles, and extremely problematic on narrow trails.

I'm interested in this new AT when the details are in. I am also one who really wants a king size footprint though so the kids can be up on the bed as well.

The one thing I really like about the Conqueror Conquest is that the bed is oriented so your head/feet are at the sides of the trailer rather than front & back. This allows for a wider king-size bed since it is only limited by the length of the trailer.

Yes we have finalized drawings, we have trailer shower parts, we have materials. We are also building trailers for our customers and doing the every day work involved in the business.

The things that are delaying the project are;
Finding a tent builder who can work with heavy duty material.
Having the composite material finish coat applied.
Finding enough time in a week to take a big bite out of the project.

It would be the easiest thing in the world to duplicate the Kamparoo trailer but overcoming some inherent design problems takes more thought and time.

I’m thinking late summer early fall before we get into production.

Ever the optimist! I hope your timeline is realistic...however I do know how long the new development curve is for things ALOT less complex than your new trailer. And, although I do know you and Mario will not cut corners to rush the new trailer project to market (otherwise we'd already be able to place orders for same), I will patiently wait until the final version is ready to be offered.

Although I think I am actually as impatient for your new trailer as you are optimistic about your timeline :jump:

 

[adventureduo]

Yep, don't rush it. Perfection takes time! Also, it needs to be tested like a madman after there's a "one-off" so you can peak and tweak it!

 

[Redline]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to want one of these, though maybe not as much as spressomon

Not sure if I will be able to convince my wife I 'need' to spend the money when I have a perfectly good Chaser in my garage?

Maybe AT will take trade in's??

 

[TheRoadie]

It would probably sell in a week if priced properly at ExPo. Well, almost anything could here sell in a week if priced properly. If priced too low, stuff doesn't last ten minutes!

 

[Redline]

Agreed.

My Chaser has a few upgrades, and I don't think I will have a hard time selling it here and moving up to the AT Clamshell if that's what I decide.

Plus being like new!
