Hi all - I'm working on finishing my DIY slider rail system for my 2018 Ram Power Wagon and have hit a snag. The slider rails won't clear the tailgate by about 1/4"-1/2" and unfortunately the tailgate has a little lip at the top to make it even harder to clear. I planned to use these drop...

Hi all - I've been chipping away at building up my slide out kitchen and storage rails as shown in the pic. I plan to attach them in a way making them removable without 'too much effort' and was thinking about this method below with a piece of angle iron attached to the back truck bed wall that...

Hi all - It's been a while, I built out a slide out system years ago on my bear trailgator camp trailer and really liked it. I since sold the trailer and now have a Ram Power Wagon with a diamondback hd heavy duty bed topper that I want to build out a full camping slide-out for kitchen, gear...

Hi all - I'm trying to find the right way to go about building a weatherproof slide rail system in the back of my truck that would be very similar to what I did for a covered trailer (see pics). I used steel angle iron to frame each slide rail and then used Orr & Orr heavy duty full extension...

Hi all - Kind of an odd question, but I can't seem to find any info on this topic. I just sold my rtt/trailer (wife hated it) and I really didn't like pulling a trailer around. I'm considering going with a Diamondback HD bed cover and some kind of slide-out system for camp kitchen, stove, sink...

Hi all - I know this maybe a very basic question, but I want to ensure I do this safe and soundly and I've never used strut fittings before. I am looking to mount my new alu-cab gen 3 RTT to my trailer lid and looking for advice on how exactly to do it and hardware to use. The plan is to use 2...

Hi All - I took my trailer and gear setup out for my first trip in it and it went pretty well but learned a lot. One thing I learned immediately is that if you are not careful your beer will explode in the fridge :( I have the new all weather arb 63qt fridge (awesome btw) and I mounted it on...

This is prob a noob question, but im not finding any info on it. Basically, I'm building up a bear trailersports trailgater and working on a 6' kitchen slide-out and I know when I pull out hundreds of pounds of gear the trailer is going to flip over on me. Is there a standard way / setup /...

Hi all - I took the plunge after seeing so many great builds on this forum. I was following pretty close to some builds, particularly the parts list jlmo shared in the main build thread. My goal was to be able to do it myself (dusting off welding skills, etc) and make it low enough clearance...

Hi all - I'm trying to build out my off-road trailer and finally got some of my gear. I've been scouring the site for ideas and haven't quite found what I am looking for or maybe overlooked it in the vast amount of awesome builds. I'm hoping to get some advice on the slide-out design. I'm...

Hi All - I just got my goal zero yeti 1000 and my renogy 200w suitcase panels just arrived. https://www.renogy.com/renogy-200-watt-eclipse-monocrystalline-solar-suitcase-open-box-like-new/ First problem is that none of the connectors/cables with the renogy look like they would fit into the...

Hi all - I'm rapidly making progress on my trailer build. I pulled the trigger on a goal zero yeti 1000 and the all-weather arb 63qt fridge/freezer that i didnt even know existed until today: https://ok4wd.com/arb-all-weather-63qt-fridge-freezer. That thing looks awesome. I originally decided...

Hi All - I'm trying to lock on how I should build my kitchen setup in the rear of my bear trailgater. I want to be able to easily detach it from trailer and set it up outside the trailer for those non-trailer camp trips. An ideal design to me would be either a pull out style that could be...

Hi all - I'm just starting my build up from a bear motorsports trailer and have been mostly researching and figuring out the RTT setup, meanwhile there are a ton of other things I need to figure out to make this trailer 'camp ready' in short order. I wanted to get started on the electrical...

Hi All - I think i've dialed in my RTT selection for my trailer build. Since my ultimate goal is ease of use for those overnighters, i've decided to go with a hardshell rtt. My second goal is to carry mountain bikes easily on the trailer. I know i can put a rack on the back hitch receiver but...

Hi All - I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to go about mounting a RTT to my trailer. Ultimately I'd like to have it on a lift system of some kind (either jacks or actuators) but I'm struggling with the basics of where to even start the rack design. Given the design of the...

Hi all - I've been lurking for a while now and obsessing over getting a nice off road expedition trailer to make our camping trips much easier and nicer all around. I finally took the plunge and got a bear trailersports trailgater used locally. Its in tip top shape and ready to build out. My...

Hi all - I know its pretty specific, but I'm building up an expedition trailer (just started) but already have the trailer and lid so next step is a nice RTT. I'm looking for something that is easy to setup, durable, can handle some rough weather (both hot and cold) as we do a lot of sierra...
