    That guy is super good. Pretty solid attention to detail. Even has a messed up fender on the porsche held on by wire haha. His wide bodied cars are sick.

    this is the size that I've been eyeing and where I would mount it, is there any issues with opening the lid or issues with access when the lid is open? easy and unobstructed access to cold beverages is sometimes mission critical lmao

    I haven't had any issues opening it when it's facing either direction (although it doesn't open all the way up, you still can access it w/o taking the lid off). I've even grabbed stuff out of it while driving when it's facing my side. Loading it can be somewhat of a pain because the door doesn't want to stay open, but you can put something to hold it open or just take off the lid when putting everything in there (or load the fridge up and then put it in your truck). I haven't had any complaints as of yet, like you mentioned, having access to a cold one is sometimes do or die here in tx!

    I found this combo for sale on CL. Its an old canopy mounted to a trailer. What do you all think of this set up as a starting point for an Expo trailer? I'd like to have someone weld on some braces for the tongue. Thoughts?

    Before looking at/for a trailer, decide what your needs and wants are.

    What do you intend to carry? How do you camp? How do you cook? Will you trail ride with the trailer?

    Make a list.

    Then, envision what you want the trailer to look/operate like.

    I keep looking at trailers to use as a starting point. I keep determining that it is cheaper and faster to just build the trailer than it is to upgrade and strengthen a used trailer.
