    So, I just ordered one of these little guys:

    image.jpg

    4x6 V nose. It comes standard with all tube constructed frame, 16 on center floor and walls, 3/4 plywood floor, 3/8 plywood walls, 3500 lb EZ Lube Dexter axle with 15" tires.

    I added a 12" on center walk on roof, cross bars centered and 3' apart for the RTT, pintle hook in place of the ball, and Charcoal grey exterior.

    The trailer also comes standard with a 4" drop axle. I ordered it with a straight axle for a little more height and to clear 30's

    Do you have a question, or just sharing a new purchase?

    Right on. Lots of potential for a little trailer like that. Have fun.

    I've been trying to find an M416 to build. For what they're fetching, and the cost of rebuilding, I think I can get out of this cheaper and have it all brand new. Plus the covered storage? Seamed like a no brainer to me.

    The base price of this trailer was $1195. Of course it went up as I added things. But I it thought that was a great deal considering the standard features.

    Can I ask you a quick question? The cross bars at 3' apart for the RTT. That sound like the best spacing to you?

    Should be fine depending on the tent you use.

    It's not too late to change it if there's a better spacing for this particular tent though. Who better to ask than you?

    Awesome. Thank you Sir!

    The tent is here, now just waiting on the trailer to get done so I can start working on that.

    Unfortunetly, it showed up with a small hole by the door. I know I didn't buy it directly from you, but what would you suggest to take care of it?

    No. Long story... I sold the other tent to buy a lawn tractor for my Dad.

    Instantly regretted selling it and ordered this one a little while later.

    Now I've ditched the bed cage in favor of the trailer.

    It'll be two to three weeks before I can pick up the trailer. Then the fun begins.
