Curious about the wire routing on the Sherpa trailer, why run it over the frame member cross bar instead of under it? I understand wanting to keep it high but it would more or less stay in line with the rest of the run on the longitudinal frame member.

I'm guessing it won't interfere with the Sherpa when mounted but might be an issue if the trailer is repurposed later. BTW, I love the laser cut pattern on the front trailer "bed"

Liking the fox shocks on the adventure trailer. :drool:
My trailer has a removable hitch too, makes a good theft deterant.

Yea for sure!

Some of it will get attached or secured to the bottom of the Sherpa, it will all be "hidden" as best we can by being on top of the frame. We welded a bunch of little rings to the trailer to secure where we needed too. This trailer will get the Sherpa and that will be its life! The camper can't go back on V4, will be more versatile mounted here.

AlphaVan is headed south and ripping up the road on the way. Big power + UJ suspension= confident speed!

Completely irresponsible to be traveling at 85 MPH in a 10k - 11k top heavy van. I don't care whose suspension is on it...

A deer runs out in front of you or there is a re-tread carcass in the road and you are effed...

His choice, his van, his $$, his life to do what he wants. How do you know its top heavy? I don't recall you ever driving it?

Does the AlphaVan really have just 2821 miles on it?

I drove my van up to those speeds plenty of times and never felt like i was going too fast. How about 18 wheeler rigs going this fast. I see that all the time.

Alphavan cruising to the fuel pump!

Dimebag?

Is that a dimebag Darrell decal on your window or am I seeing things?

I'm sure it will be coming!

Took the kids out today for some fun with a couple friends. Gorgeous day.
