Testing out the setup. Hot water systems works great. The battery and solar panel aren't having any problems keeping up with the water pump and power inverter for I use to charge stuff

I'm just happy I tired the thing out here with no issues. Pulled great, just sucked my gas mileage down. Final weight on the trailer came out to 1900 pounds fully loaded with my bike rack on the back and a full tank of water/cooler of beer and food.

Did some improvements on the water tank fill. Can fill it without opening the door or spilling water in the trailer

Also put 33"s on it and some add-a-leafs. Rides pretty level now that the springs don't bottom out all the time

Incredible fabrication! Any info on the hitch? Looks like a high-articulation hitch?

Yah, it's a Max Coupler.

I think AT Overland sells them?

Uses bushings and bearings for 3 axis rotation. Won't come unhitched during extreme articulation

Added a port in the side of the trailer to pass the solar panel cables through. Now I can keep the trailer doors locked while I'm out doing stuff during the day and the battery is recharging.

Working on rebuilding the kitchen slide. Adding a little shelf on the back, and some partitions in the main storage compartment. I'll use bungees to hold the plates up against the front wall.
