Resurrecting this for some recent updates to the trailer. I added a rack with Compact Camping Concepts no weld rack and some square steel tube. The sides of the trailer needed some reinforcement from flex and I did this with steel U-channel behind the lip. The tent is TuffStuff's Elite...

Updates have been sparse lately as I have been busy working and not posting. We had a Memorial Day camping trip coming up and I really wanted to have the trailer ready to take and have it be useful as something more than a cargo hauler. The first thing I knew I needed was power because I wanted...

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, I wish I had half your welding skill, it would make this whole project much easier.

Thanks, I have actually been using your build thread and shack's for much of my inspiration.
