    trailer frame: what did you forget?

    One item that I wish that I had done differently is to have the tongue tube run from the front hitch, completely through the entire length of my trailer frame (like a spine) and then terminate at the rear of the trailer with a receiver hitch receptacle. In my mind, I would then have that main...

    M416 Build Up

    WOW, Nice job! There must be more than 1,000 M416 trailer build threads in here, yet you came up with an original solution that I don't remember seeing in here before. In the movie, "Find Forrester", Sean Connery says, "Well, you've taken something which was mine... ...and made it yours...

    Shower Thoughts.............?

    It's my understanding that some African tent safari camps use a shower tent and a bucket with a nozzle. One brand that I've found is the Tarpo Company. I do not have one, but have been thinking about building or buying something of the sort. Pretty old school and simple.

    Shower/privacy/potty tent solutions?

    I bought a really cool Oztrail green canvas shower bucket with brass rose at the Overland Expo a couple years ago and would like to get a bathroom tent that is designed to support this sort of device, but have not found one yet. Any suggestions for that type of bathroom tent? Obviously, there...

    I went with the Stow-Away clamp on my receiver hitch insert and it completely solved my problem. I recommend it completely!
