Explorer TDK - Information Request

Postby Strop » Mon May 28, 2018 4:51 am

Hi,

I recently came across this trailer. Built in Canada sold in North America. It has sparked my interest and I was wondering if anyone has seen one, can access one or has one.

I have read a little bit about it on the Expedition Portal Forum and their website but was hoping for some more detailed information so I can play with a similar design.

Thanks

These guys are a little closer to home for you.

Holy cow, Rose is a teenager now! Done? Surely you jest. A teardrop is never "done".

I’ve had a look around those units. Very good - all metal construction. Not something you could make easily yourself without the right gear. The Explorer is made out of composite panels.

Made my current teardrop and was thinking this unit might be a good challenge. Was hoping for 2 things, 1 - How well does it work and 2. that someone might be able to run a tape over one for some sizes and axle locations etc.

Must admit my design would move the storage back to just before the galley to focus the weight over the axle.

All the best,
