seems a little pricey imo. i've been fantasy shopping airstreams and teardrop type trailers, and that much money could get alot more other places.

Wow that is a pricey trailer.

[Hilldweller]

It's the build and capability of the trailer that causes the price.
I want/need something that I can thrash around. Go to the Yukon in. Not worry about...

Here's a quote from one of the fellows that owns Adventure Trailers (even more expensive):
It's gets back to that question "What is an off road trailer?".

If you put larger tires on a trailer for ground clearance, or spring it over does that make it an off-road trailer?

Rock crawling tests the ground clearance and protection of a off-road trailer, but wash board stresses the integrity of the whole unit, chassis, suspension, body.

The construction and fasteners used are also critical for the longevity of an off-road trailer, it would be pointless to have ground clearance, load capacity, comfort, and amenities if the trailer started to fall apart.

We use a few different terms when identifying trailers;

Modified: lifted, larger tires, or both, no change to suspension, body, or chassis.

Ruggedized: Lifted, larger tires, protection, no modification to suspension or slight modification, or incorrect application of suspension. No change to body construction. Slight modification to chassis if any.

Off-Road: Lifted, protected, strong chassis, applicable suspension, use of applicable fasteners, resistance to vibration and stress.

As someone said you can put lipstick on a pig..........

Those of you who like to go far and explore will understand.
I'm not a "rock crawler" --- more of a world traveler type. I wonder how long it would take me to drag this thing to Chile; I've never seen Machu Picchu...

That's a cool concept but I can see it being a problem with high winds.

[oZmonKey]

Cool man.. post some pictures when you've had it all set up and stuff.

[Hilldweller]

Sprayed it down with a garden hose this morning to season the canvas a bit and check it all out.
Winds won't bother it --- the JK can't achieve speeds high enough for that... :sad2:

The wife is cleaning every nook and cranny; the trailer has been sitting in storage for 3 years.

I meant winds when the tent is up. :crazyeyes: I'm sure driving it is fine. I pulled a little U-haul trailer with my 2-dr. Just not sure about the tent in high wind situations.

That video of Off-road Camping in Angola was well done. The hand built bridge crossing was scary to watch. Not my cup of tea, but good stuff.:thumbsup:

We'll see....

Thats awesome! Wish i had one!You'll never get a better deal on one than now; Dean would like to be rid of them.
This is the least expensive trailer of its kind that you can get right now...


And I did a little walk around video yesterday:
