Thanks! I may have been remembering the Rustic Mountain Overland Yakka trailer, but it looks they don't build them anymore. That's who I bought my DO35 hitch from since they had the best price. I found these photos of what looks like the DO35 mounted on a receiver adapter. Maybe they still have...

I've only driven the DO35 around the neighborhood and to the metal store so far, but it's perfectly smooth. I'm looking forward to finishing the trailer this spring and testing offroad this summer. Hitching and unhitching is easy, but I'm rolling (or lifting) my light trailer tongue around, so...

The tent/awning platform, actuator mounts, and top rub rail are done. The tent and awning will stick out past the frame, so I added the top rail for some tree/rock protection towing offroad. I tested the actuators with me hanging off the back of the platform and it lifted without any problem, so...

I'm 6'6" and I drive my 2013 two door Jeep Wrangler comfortably. My head is close to the ceiling, but the leg room is good with the seat adjusted all the way back. Maybe they are available in the Netherlands to sit in. I've slept on the floor in the back diagonally a few nights with the rear...

I'm currently working on the tent/awning pivots and actuator mounts. It's yet to be seen if the 900lb push actuator has enough power to lift the platform given the flat angle between the pivot arm and the actuator.

Fenders are done. They are mostly welded, but the sheet metal against the trailer tub was also glued with seam sealer. I mounted the lift points for the pipe jacks, but still need to decide on how they will mount for driving, so they are up out of the way. Does anyone else using pipe jacks to...

In addition to the standard 7-pin trailer plug, I'm using an Anderson SBSX-75A plug with 4awg wires to recharge the battery system in my trailer while driving with max 800W from the alternator. I wanted this version of Anderson plug so I could have waterproof/dustproof connections for the...

Fenders and step rails are taking shape. It’s tricky fitting such a big fender onto the M100 since the sheet metal arch needs a curve cut out to fit against the angle on the top of the trailer body. I also decided to relocate the tie down hooks that interfered with the back of the fender.

Thanks! The concept has been maintained so far. I think I saw in your build thread also that working with an existing trailer probably didn't save any time in the build, and it probably increased the effort to work with what was existing already. That and not knowing exactly what was required to...

I was able to tack the sheet metal panels to the frame this weekend, cut mounts for tail lights, roll tubes and begin mocking up fenders. Does anyone have tips to keep tubes from turning into potato chips while rolling on the Harber Freight tube roller?

I got the trailer roll ready so I can go to my local metal shop and pickup the remainder of sheet metal and round tubing for the skin and fenders. I also pulled it around the neighborhood and tested the jackknife capability. I found the pins holding adjustable length chains were the first to...

1969 Honda Trail 90.

The Hi Lift is mounted on the front as low as possible above the tongue box. I can still remove the tongue box and I’m considering to retrofit a motorcycle hitch rack to fit in its place instead of hanging it off the back hitch receiver of the trailer. Has anyone made a removable moto or bike...

My trailer will be powered by a Ecoflow Delta 2 or Delta Pro. We use them as backups at home also, so I wanted something that could easily come out of the trailer when needed. I'm also installing the Ecoflow 800W Alternator Charger to charge while driving for longer trips through a bumper...

Thanks! It’s been a fun project so far. I found the ARK researching jacks and it seemed very rugged and I liked the wide wheel to be able to roll the trailer when unhooked at camp or driveway/garage. I have two of the pipe jacks you showed as well that will mount on each corner of the rear for...
