what did you do to your trailer today?

Discovered that I burnt up my solar controller, by plugging 110 into it. Dumb and Dumber strikes again. I had logos made for each land line but forot which one was which. The controller still runs everything but will not charge the battery off the solar panel. Ordered one, hoping it will be here before Tuesday as I leave for Moab then to do the Kokopeli trail and Cruise Moab.

Took it to a shop today to have an awning installed, in preparation for OX12. Once I get it back from the shop I will post another picture.

This is my new "show and event" trailer.

yeah if you go on ebay and type in M416 and search this canvas cover comes up. It is VERY thick (don't know the ply) canvas, and is made for the trailer - I am unsure about "proper" fitment of the ropes, but I did what worked for me...works fine - works well...

I stopped at the shop today on my way out of town and looked at the trailer. The awning is installed, they were doing some finishing touches on the project. I will pick the trailer up Monday when I return home.

The awning I selected is a Carefree of Colorado Spirit FX model.

It cost a small fortune, but it will be so much nicer to have this than deal with a worn out 10x10 canopy, was is heavy and a nuisance to set up, and requires two people. I used the 10x10 last year at Overland Expo and didn't care much for it because it's old and worn out.

This week i called to pick up my new axle!!!!!!!!! i can't believe it was 6" wider than i ordered and the hubs were standard Land Rover instead of D3 pattern. The guy came round and checked my measurements, which were correct !!! i am now waiting further progress:088: Skids i've not seen a Sankey with the drawer slid out before, it must be useful in some way! but what are you going to do with it ??? should be a good project.:rolleyes:
