There was a guy in Omaha who drives a DII, he is a traveling salesman.
If he is on here I want to talk to him.

 

Spike, please dont worry, I have seen the light and the Mothership will not leave without us.

 

Whew!!!

 

Doubt he is on here...

He is probably has his own blog or belongs to a doomsday community.

BTW. I am researching to build my own trailer.

 

What kind of trailer are you going to build wheel?
I am thinking of offering a guy a couple hundred for a popup camper with a caved in roof, strip it down to the frame and make my own utility trailer.
I also have my son who is in the Army looking for Jerry cans for me for my roof rack, 2 fuel and 2 water.

 

I just picked up 2 metal cans from Harbor Freight. Just so the where no issues, I coated /sealed the insides. Also, I picked up 6 plastic ones from a local surplus store for water. They all fit nice on the rack.

 

I wish I had the time and skill, I'd restore an old army M100 and put an RTT on it.

 

You can buy that type of trailer on govliquidation.com frequently. Tent does not come with it. I paid $250 for one in "like new" condition for my office, even had the tarp cover and the "bows" for it. Here a link to a current auction: http://www.govliquidation.com/auctio...&convertTo=USD - would have to deal with brakes.

 

Just like this one: NEW CarTopCamper Off-Road Adventure Trailer with 3-person Roof Top Tent

Any well kitted off-road trailers are going to be expensive....over 6k...The plan is to buy this company's roof full set up with the extension, and put it on the trailer. Having a trailer, rather than loading up the truck with 5 of us, give us more room and consolidation. Plus, I get to bring my satellite tv....maybe...

There is a company that sell plans to build one, but still searching for alternative (rebuilding a used chassis, or buying and modifying a Harbor Freight Special). In additional, I am looking into the cost of the independent suspension kit. At this point, my wife and I are still working on the list of essentials to make final aprox-measurements. My uncle, whom is a ex-mil welder (worked on Subs and ships), advised that we can complete a new chassis build in a day or two....Just need the schematics.

In regards to the water, there is a company that make a huge badder system that sits on the floor of the rear seat, which is an alternative. I was considering getting Jerry's for the water, but now planning on 20G, maybe 30G, so a tank on the trailer will be happening. Can never have too much water...right....(and a shower).

The Jerry's for fuel is a good ideal, 2 is perfect. You can get a dual mount and stick it anywhere. I've seen a Jeep that has two cans behind the rear mounted spare wheel. Looked very trick....

 

Now that is living!!!
