Perfectly! So far, 0 glitches :-).

Yes--please do! I would love to know what you have done :-)

The tongue box is all aluminum, full width (I believe 59") and weighs 45lbs so pretty light. The batteries inside each weight about 79lbs x 2 and then I have various other stuff (the batteries are riding on their own frame reinforced to the chassis, of course) so total of the box and batteries...

No spare--I run the exact same wheel/hub/tire/brakes as my Defender so I just carry the Defender spare, a compressor and a repair kit. I feel confident with just that as I have been wheeling for 20 years and only had a couple flats. After several years towing the trailer, I have never had a...

My front wheel is loosing some chunks out here in the Rocky Mountains. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Out in the Roosevelt National Forest.

Check out the Eccotemp L5 heater. I use that. Add a Flojet or whomever 12V water pump (check out the minimum flow requirements) and you are all set. I either plug it into my little battery pack/inverter or to my 12v trailer batteries....

I love the aethetics of the tongue gusset you did. Hell of a mounting plate--there is no kill like overkill!

Glad you are set. On the end of the bed, you will notice a black tab in the middle that hands down, about 3" wide, drops down 4" long. This cuts off the electricity to the overhead lights (it presses in a switch on the bulkhead below the bed in the middle when the bed is extended). If it...

congrats! I love mine and I think you will love yours too. Let me know if you are looking for the stabilizers--I am sure I can dig mine up as I am 99% sure I saved them. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions...

Got everything installed and welded up. Works awesome--top goes up or down in under a minute, very quietly I might add, and the limit switches function to start/stop the mechanism. I have it on a momentary switch that I mentioned above...

The actuator carriage is tacked up and test fitted to trailer. Got a reversible DTDP 25A switch on the way as well. Coming together nicely.

Had a 98% great trip to Pawnee National Grasslands, but the wiffletree raising mechanism froze when we were putting it up. There was a strong side wind as you get in those areas, and the resulting pressure on the sides of the top when raising made the screw sort of cross thread and seize...
