Defconbrix :: VMI Offroad OX [ the build ]

Side profile of the trailer with the newly added side entry door.

This was taken right before dropping the trailer off for the Goose-Gear treatment

 

Looks really nice! i did not see anyone ask or you say why.(could have over looked it) but why such a big RTT? looks like it maybe a 2 “room”?

also started following you on IG.

 

Awesome thanks!

I have a family and like the extra space.
Good when friends tag along.

And if the trailer can handle the biggest why not I figured why limit myself.

 

Trailer looks good. My biggest concern would be theft. I think I'd have a hidden gps tracker somewhere lol.

 

Who says I don't already have it ...

 

Some awesome photos taken by Richard310 on AmericanAdventurist.com of my trailer in action during some testing of the new interior panels and storage compartments from GooseGear!

 

Your Trailer has got just about everything needed for off roaming, Love it! Awesome job with the additions.


Subbed...

 

Sub'd

 

I got some quick cell phone updates on the location of a few goodies getting installed.

Picking up the trailer from GooseGear on Tuesday and so excited to start using it again!

Expect this threads activity to start up again

How the sPOD and Truma display units will be placed on the GooseGear control panel (not pictured).



Zamp Solar 2000w pure sine inverter — mounting to the forward facing bulkhead.

 

Wicked rig, thanks for sharing!

 

What Batteries are your going with for powering that inverter?

Also, you should know by now that max we can go without new pics in this thread is 48 hours, get on it!

 

Unacceptable to make you all wait I know... lol

I got the trailer back last week and have been scrambling to get it all wired up, organized etc etc... Still a lot to do but here I will post some teaser photos to get by until I can post more this later evening

 

ZampSolar inverter and sPOD source mounted



GooseGear custom control panel with sPOD switches and Truma digital display (forced air and water heat). Norcold Fridge on for the first time.

 

Nice.

Also saw a couple pages back you didn't have the chains crossed on the eyelits for the trailer, I would do that when you hitch up. I know this cause I may or may not have gotten a ticket for it

 

Incredibly happy with the recent additions from Goose Gear — rear storage module in the back along with side walls and bulkhead they also tackled the wiring for me with the sPOD, Zamp Solar inverter and Odyssey PC1800 batteries. I have a few more things to mount and then wire in the coming weeks to complete it.

 

Using it for what it was built for... exploring!

 

An examples of how much space this Norcold Fridge/Freezer has.
On the top shelf I put two large fruit and vegetable trays — hard to tell from this angle but the top level goes back another 5"+ from the back of the Coors on the bottom.



On the control panel, made to match the rest of the interior panels from Goose Gear, I have the sPOD switches and the Truma digital display mounted so far. Goose Gear really did an amazing job with the custom fabrication and fit of all these panels along with mounting and wiring all the essentials giving me a great platform to add to later.

 

Set up at camp during the Tierra Del Sol event in Southern California.
The first time my ZampSolar panels have seen the light and they are amazing!

 

Calling it a night at 3:30am...

Got a lot done and was dreading cutting holes but it had to be done for the shore power plug and solar panel plug.



I also got the following installed/mounted:
SmarterCharger cTEK 7002 installed.
Rigid Industries backup lights wired up.
Rigid Industries SRQ flush mount (front deck light).

Test fitted the Truma unit and am debating on cutting a hole from the main "box" into the tongue box for better fitment with all the added heat hoses etc — I would still end up using the tongue box as random storage and likely make a custom trash/recycling can to drop in and out easy.

As soon as I get some of this cleaned up I'll snap some photos of the progress.
