    "Bjorn" my LMTV build

    Nice! We bought our lmtv last Jan and I have been building on it since. Lots of fun and lots of work. Enjoy the process!

    Thanks. Nice thing about a trailer is you can drop it for a base camp and still go explore.

    5000lbs from Tractor Supply. Welded the mounting ring to the rear bumper and tongue so each could be removed and stored inside the trailer.

    I used aluminum angle and screws to attach the main countertop to the slides. The wings (rear and right side), are attached with piano hinges and wood screws. Everything is very solid and can hold any pans, dishes and a sink full of water. I would estimate the whole thing can hold probably...

    The countertop is mounted on sliders and hinges. It slides out and the "wings" drop down. The countertop that holds the sink countertop attaches to the other part with a "J mount". The sink is a collapsible type and just sets in the hole. It took a little bit to figure out and did it by CAD...

    LOL. Not a problem. Good luck with yours and enjoy the build.

    The 6 rock lights work together as one, so no on being able to be independent. I understand your thought of using a switch on each one, but I would be concerned that is would loose the connection with the controller and may not work. I think I have seen rock lights with only 4 lights, so you...

    There are several different lights. The led lights in the cabinets are 10" long and just plain white led with each cabinet having individual push button to turn on. The led string "bulb" lights are USB patio lights that get strung at camp and plugged in to a USB plug on either side of the...

    Here a a few pictures with everything lit up at night. Plenty of light to cook, cleanup, and sit out visiting or playing games. The under trailer lights can change color, but we usually leave them on yellow for the bugs. Now it just needs to warm-up around here to be able to sit outside more...

    Build a double slider for the cooktop. Keeps the unit from bouncing around on the trails. Sets up very quickly. Just pull out and connect the gas line and your ready to start cooking. Worked great last weekend and even added a little more storage underneath.

    It has been a while since I posted some updates. Pics are of the cabinets loaded with pretty much everything we take, literally "and the kitchen sink". Have a diesel heater, works good so far up to 9700ft. Will probably be testing it soon at 11000ft and hopefully it will still keep us warm! . I...

    Sorry for the delay. I have not had it weighed completed but I did weight items and materials as I built it. I am estimating the loaded/wet weight to be 2200-2400. I can say I have seen an aluminum service bed, but they could be out there. I tow with a 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Jeep Gladiator...

    I haven't had it weighed, but did weigh most of the materials as I built it. Estimate of around 2200-2400. I have hauled it about 4k miles, mostly on highway, also several hundred off road with no problem.

    There are only 4 knobs/nuts to remove the mounted panels. I currently don't have the wiring setup to allow the panels to be set on the ground or aimed differenly. Most of the time we setup camp and aim to the south for good solar coverage, so not an issue. I have an additional 2-100 watt panels...
