    Lots...see build
    You could put a little rubber (or something flexible) flap over it with a button snap or something so that if you get a bunch of mud in there you just have to reach for the button snap, undo it, and pop in your propane tube with less hassle than washing away mud from the fitting itself. Just a thought.
    Looks freaking awesome, man, and again, you are too freaking good!

    I'll answer that later when I add up all the receipts. It's over 4k though including EVERYTHING (RTT, material, stove, accessories, etc etc etc).

    And had a little shakedown session today "fully" loaded. Full water tank, oven, battery, ice chest full of.."ice." And then proceeded to drive like...well like i normally drive.

    But just as teaser...ran my local trail and found a great umarked road that lead to a epic view and campsite.

    The wife gets it. In Moab I told her how spoiled she was. The last stretch of Trifecta she road in someone else's truck....after that, she never argued the spoiled part of it.

    The trailer is purpose built. We've owned a toy hauler with all the amenities and it's not the same thing. The expo or overland or camping or whatever the hell you want to call it "trailer" is intended to go where we like to go, and yet keep some of the creature comforts. It's sometimes difficult to get a wife and kids into the same kind of passions that I have, but if I ease them into it, even if it is glamper style...it makes it that much easier in the long term.

    Kinda like hauling around an anchor with a 10 foot rope...but with shocks.

    In all reality it was just like pulling extra weight around. The trailer did great. Rebound valving is dead nuts on. Gonna change the compression valving just a tad. But other than that I'm very happy with how it performed...especially for a damn trailer. It wasn't really tippy and was very predictable even with a full tank and RTT. It just...flowed.

    I wish I could make the internets go faster. It's up to 24% uploaded.

    Has nothing to do with that. I have faster internet here than I did when I lived in San Jose.
    Pure un-edited, non-compressed, raw GP hero3 footage. The only thing I did was clip the video to ~8 minutes.

    Business as usual!

    Obviously I couldn't go 100%. Truck has 2x the suspension the trailer does and the rear was working extra hard with the tongue weight.
    I had to adjust my driving style a bit. I normally like to tail brake into corners and kick the ass around just a tad and power out. That doesn't exactly work out as one might hope with a trailer behind you and trees exceptionally close. Only took one turn to figure that out.
    But no bullshit...I'd be surprised to see a mid travel truck with no trailer keep up with what I did today.

    Yea I'm sure you had to change style a bit. But doesn't sound like it slowed you down a lot. :cool:
