Hello folks,

Hello folks,

Here again some updates about the trailer. It starts to look as it should be.

This will be our kitchen working space. half of it.

And so it is complete

New door painted black

Little shelf just for little things.

Bed area with power station.Looking better and better.
And Iam very happy with this section of the kitchen trunk

And this needs some organizing

That will come in the following week. Still need to buy some extra stuff.
More updates to come.

I tested the trailer again for three days.
A little driving and lots of camping. It did its job.
Just need to adjust some little parts. All good.
Here some pictures from these days.

The departing angle of the trailer is very good. So, that is something Iam very pleased with it.

 

[[DO]Ron]

Where did you go (I guess germany?:P) ? Some amazing scenery! And that trailer can handle some sweet angle! I wonder how much more that trailer (ball) joint can have?

De Veluwe. Radio Kootwijk.
The netherlands is way more beautiful as many people think. If you know your places and lanes.

I know no places and lanes.. I did visit de hoge veluwe a few weeks ago and loved the scenery as well there.

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

Well, like I said, come and join. Who cares what you drive, we pull you through.
And have some fun on the way.

 

[[DO]Ron]

Will have to do that sooner or later, @ de hoge veluwe I only got asphalt under the tires, every dirt road was closed to traffic, sucks!

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

Not every dirt road, a lot yes, but there are some spots. Its very beautiful there.
But for the better stuff you need to be in Brabant, Drenthe, Gelderland and Overijssel.

 

[[DO]Ron]

Yea, I need to find some roads some time, I even live in Brabant.. xD Though still a lot I want to get before taking the rig off road.. a good tow strap for 1.. don't wanna get stuck and not being able to get out.. would love some maxtrax as well but they are damn expensive!

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

dont wait till you have everything, just go and you will get the things in time. Just dont go alone.

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

Hello folks,

Here a little vid which is about setting up and breaking up camp with the new trailer.

 

[[DO]Ron]

Still an awesome setup, didn't really think the colours would work out as perfect but they do!

And yea, not going out alone, I know that rule ;) just have to see when and with who I go out. And I won't wait till I got all things but a basic recovery strap and a shovel might be wise :P don't soly want to rely on others.

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

So again, after some days I have made some updates.
Here are the results of them
after the days out, I needed some extra support so the flex would be out of the end of the trailer.

And we decided we need a dedicated place for our food supply. So a lockable storage is needed.

And our lights need a place to stay during driving

Then we sprayed the trailer once more and started to put up the stickers.

Then I raised the trailer for 1 inch and mounted shocks on it.

More stickers

And you can see that the trailer is raised.

Good, well, next there will be some interior upgrades.
More to come before this weekend.

Really great build you have going here.
What was used to bond the sheeting to the foam?
Also what material did you use to cover the corners/edges?

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

The company that build the box used a vacuum table to prosuce the sandwich panels. No clue what kind of glue they use. I think Sika, but that is a wild guess.
The corners are covered by polyester "corners" and in the back under there are two alu strips.

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

And more details are coming to "life".
This is the cabinet to store the Coleman stove and the Water jerrycan.

And the work is done. Now thinking about the things we gonna store there. hehe.
Tomorrow its Camera and wiring time.

Hello folks,

Just two weeks before we are going to Morocco and I have a challenge.
This stock Jeep Liberty has replaced the Frontera.
So now I have to make it at least Travel ready within the next two weeks.

It is a V6 3.7 ltr engine and I hope it will last as long as the Frontera.
So, I guess I will post here loads of changes within the next 10 days.

You can do it Robert! :D

Can't wait to see this once it get a more defined overland look, I might even use some idea on my own rig.
