I didn't cover the paint in detail, but I used a Tremclad Professional paint in machine grey. (can buy in spray cans at home depot, or Lowe's). It was a bit of a gamble, but I was happy with the finish and longevity over winter. That paint sticks well to almost anything. I did prep the...

Thank you, haven't done too much lately, but everything as stayed dry over winter which is great. Looking forward to more work and more updates here soon.

Congrats! 2022 Tacoma sounds exciting, bored of the Lexus?

Most recent trip to a local campsite called "Country Maples" It has a large RV side but also nice tent sites we took advantage of. New awning brackets made for a much better height for us at almost 6 feet. Better shot of the whole site. Lots of people were asking about the trailer (and...

For anyone interested in the Renogy kits for Solar, the starter kits do come with almost everything you need to get going. I am not fully installed yet. Still deciding how to best mount the panels on the roof. Here are the details of the panels if you are interested. I have room for...

Here is a ready to roll shot with the new roof paint, I also bedlined the door sides of the XJ and happy with how it turned out, I might cover it again with color matched paint in future but happy with the black for now. Its way nicer than the beat up sides and no more surface rust. Also...

Here are my new brackets for the Awning. I used some punched square tube and cut up a cutting board as a spacer. I needed something to seperate the aluminum and steel and act as a spacer to clear the roof. Once I had the lengths I needed I painted them, (they are zinc coated) hoping they...

Decided to get some updated shots of the completed (for now) Interior. The cabinets have been really great for storage and the countertop is perfect for phones, keys, wallet and toiletries. (bottle of water) Pretty nice to come into from outside. There is a good amount of room for a rainy...

Sorry for the lack of updates, We have been on a few short camping trips so far, some more rugged than others, but the trailer has been fantastic so far. This spot is Upper Campbell River BC and free camp sites sponsored by BC Hydro. Pretty amazing view to wake up to. Not sure if you can...

I am thinking this could be a good option. Not really lacking on light at the moment and didn't want to cut into the cedar roof and create more possible leaks if I can avoid it. But its a good call, I am going to try an additional side vent on the other side. We slept with the door open and...

Thanks @87Warrior!

I found a way to resize images in bulk so I may go back and resize some of the earlier images. My buddy is a good photographer and took some far better shots of the trip. Here are a few of the ones he sent from the trip. (I had an issue with the mounts for my awning, I took it off and stored...

Got the trailer out for its maiden camping trip this weekend. We went out with a buddy and found a great camp spot far away from civilization. watch out for the Guard dog. This thing tows great, I was very surprised how capable the cherokee is with towing compared to what I have read...

Thanks @billiebob, appreciate the feedback and glad you were able to get through it. I have resized the images to 600px here but am uploading them direct from my phone to the site. Not much ability to resize or shrink the images unfortunately. Would be great if that was a feature since there...

Got an adjustable hitch fitted to the current height today. Have some issues with the trailer lights though, going to have to diagnose that another day. Ran out of daylight. Added an inline circuit breaker to the positive lead thanks to some good advice from the squaredrop FB group. Mounted...
