The Beginning 5x8 BigTex overland trailer

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Girlfriend did most of the build, from the Compact Camping Concepts kit.
They needed pretty exhaustive measurements, but in the end it came out pretty much perfect.

I drilled a few holes, and helped move the Tepui from the 4runner to it, but other than that it was all her.

It's going to get the solar treatment with panels on the side, and front, and it's own charge controller and inverter in the box.

We'll call this a build thread.

I'll add more as we build out the solar. We'll probably refinish the floor boards as well.
