If you are interested I also have a Overlanding/4x4 Channel that I post up all my outings on. No outings with the trailer as of yet, but my next episode will include footage with the trailer. I try to put out a video every two weeks. I am two trips behind now, but should catch up since winter is closing in.

I guess that is why we build trailers so we can travel and see the sights... :thumbsup:

well married, off work for 4 months due to shoulder surgery and so on, traveling doesnt happen much lol. So I live through others videos right now.

I'm hoping by next summer I have the new engine and transmission built for my CRV because I want to take this trailer down to Missouri, there is some more towards "off grid" camping available down there.

Love your "speed" sanding clips. :D
Holy cow, Rose is a teenager now! Done? Surely you jest. A teardrop is never "done".

Now if I could really sand that fast it would make construction a lot more faster..... Except, if I did a speed up video of me speed sanding my hands would be a complete blur :roll:

I didn't know this. Does that means that having a full car (four plus size adults) mean that you can't pull much at all? I was all ready to get started until I saw this.

Why doesn't the driver's weight coun t?

They figure if you are pulling a trailer someone is driving the vehicle.
