I think we shared a camp at OTG West 2017. I really missed not being able to get a tour of your trailer. I love your build.

WOW... your trailer and H3T give me a super warm feeling way down deep. It makes me want to rethink my approach to an offroad trailer (was just thinking of starting with an s-10 bed trailer).

Well you went and made it all pretty. It had a MadMax feel to it on your first run photo. Great job on the trailer. I hope I can do the same some day.

Been awhile since I’ve been on Tapatalk. Thanks for the compliments. Trailer did well last year with 9 days in Oregon and then 12 days in Colorado. It’s been sitting since. Got a new job and has taking all my wheeling away for the year. Hoping to get back into it. Short trip planned in late August and that is the only camping I can get in this year.
This adulting thing sucks.

So finally getting a chance to work on trailer build. Interesting point I wanted to share. I plumbed the propane from tank/ regulator to a couple quick disconnects and then up front to water heater. When I altered my Coleman stove to plug into quick disconnects, it didn’t work. Turns out that the stove is a higher pressure usage than everything else. So found an adjustable regulator that I will put at tank and run trailer “system” at stove pressure, then have other items ( water heater, camp fire, BBQ), on their own regulator as well.

Yes, 3/16” wall for structure and 16 gauge incorporated were I could save weight and not affect strength.
Then there is the monster “spine” at 2-1/2” 1/4” wall for hitch

Very nice trailer. Gives me some good ideas to use when I will be going to build my trailer up. I found the M101Ax trailers have pretty much the exact same track width as the H3's. Speaking of it is good to see another H3 on here.

There is no way he would post what he spent on here... His wife might see it. ;-)
