Propex Heater.... Has anyone installed or explored the installation of a Propex Space heater for a trailer? I have experience in cold temps and really don't like the condensation, and condensation associated with non vented propane heaters. My idea is to install in a compartment as designed...
I am very comfortable fabricating at the shop, but I saw the tire holder from Smittybilt that was ready to go and I did not want to experiment.. It is the SRC Classic Tire Carrier. I needed to have clearance for the back of the Scout Trailer door to swing open. So I had to offset the "Bumper"...
Update.. We got the red led button lights installed under the trailer and inside the compartments. Really like the ease on the eyes in dark.. Swing Gate and fuel storage.. Comfortably (4) 3.5 gal.. I like the way this is coming together. Lots of time sitting in the shop chair looking for...
Portable Pillow Tanks: Wonder if anyone has experience with a collapsable tank? I have been looking for options to a poly tank for longer stays without taking up permanent space. I found this on US Plastic Corp site. They have a bunch of all sorts of tanks. Scout project is getting closer
I can say that it has been fun to assemble the Scout... given that, I do have a shop with all the equipment and space to lay it all out. It has taken more time than I thought. Our mechanic and I have worked on it together. The alignment took some time. The directions were good and the parts...
Rear Bumper and Swing photo update. After we got things cleaned up and in place, decided that (4) 3.5 gal Rotopax will fit in very nice. 3 between the spare tire and one next to the spare. Propane tank mount is really good. Had a very hard time to find a simple 20# tank mount that was not...
A few updated photos. Need to put on end caps on bumper, move license plate and light up higher about the tank. Waiting for the Rotopax so we can finish the bracing next to the Spare.
Round tubing for the tent mount is interesting. I think it could make a big mess to remove the square tube and weld the round stock back to the box. Matching the paint etc... Standing on the bumper is going to be a big help to lift the tent platform. Any info on the gas struts you used would...
Very nice photos. I see you added the gas struts. I have been looking at them and wondering what size to get. I saw them first on a Habitat youtube from TX. I think he said they were 100#. Let me know what you think. I ordered some single led button lights (red lens) for a few spots under...
Here are a few additional photos. Still unsure of what to do about an awning. I like the idea of a 270deg, just not sure if it is too much. The photo next to the E Brake is of the wire junction box I used to re-wire.. Did not like how they made up the plug. Used a real cord plug. You can...
Here is a photo of how I am installing the bumper. There will be a swing gate for spare and some other mountable items. (2) 3.5 gal Rotopax will be on the inside of the swing gate. The bumper extends @ 6" to accommodate the Rotopax. I had ordered them from 4WD but they are no longer selling...
I received the trailer a few months ago, and finally had time to start assembling. Ordered it in October 18 and got it sometime in April 19. I assume it is from the new manufacturer. Some non road observations.
The packaging and protection of parts was over the top. Each bag of hardware...
Well we just got mine delivered a few weeks ago... Ordered in October. Because of my schedule I can't dive in and put it together right now, but I can say that what I see looks good. Hardware and paint look well done.. Stay Tuned..
I have see many different options for trailer power. Solar looks great, and would like to pursue it deeper. Would love to see some of the recent options that members on this forum have found relatively simple install.
I am also hoping that the new manufacturer has done a good job. To wait as long as I have and be part of a new roll out is concerning. I am fortunate as we have a good shop with all the tools to make some changes that I have been planning, but hope not to keep it together. I did not know they...
