I don't know if this is helpful or not. Here's a picture of the independant suspension on my King Kamper Trailer. Poly bump stops, coil springs with limit straps, and Fox shocks....let me know if you want any more detailed pics.

It's the off road learning curve. It's always best to progress from dirt roads, to easy trails, to harder trails to dial in the handling characteristics of a trailer. But that's a hard thing to tell anyone in the off road community.

Once Nuclear Redneck gets dialed in he'll be fine.

Take the fender off, place it on a flat smooth surface and hammer out the "new" bends. Spray it with some semi gloss black paint and it's good as new.

Great Point.........

He also had a Stick Shift.........which was part of the learning curve.

I also caught some shots of some rocker panal damage........Sliders should be next on da list! He knows that.............


You can find my pics ....here

The clutch and manual gear box is an art. Those of us who have automatics tend to take the whole thing for granted.

I have my automatic to be able to sip my coffee on the trail:coffee:

If Nuclear Redneck didn't have too much experience with his trailer than he did pretty darn good job navigating the rock gardens with a stick and the Chaser!
