    Sorry for the delayed response. We had a son on 3/26 so things have been a little crazy lately. It'll be another month or so before I'm overnighting again. Up around Linville there are several places to ride in and camp.

    Congratulations!!! Great news. First child? I've got 3 girls and a boy.

    I'll be camping for a few days on the North Core Banks in June. Looking forward to it.

    That's odd. Must be something going on with Photobucket right now. It still works on there and the link is the same.

    Making some progress on the Overland Teardrop. We're at about 14-hours of labor and a whole lot of design time.

    Trailer weighs in around 500 lbs including the Timbrens and electric brakes.

    Well, that escalated quickly... always feels good when a design comes together like you planned. Now time to wire and paint. Then camper...

    20" of clearance and a 23" deck height on 32's.

    Painted, wired and dropped off at Cross Country Teardrops for the cab build. They're great to work with and will stay within any budget you have. They even let me do 100% of the design and they'll build it. Should be about 3-4 weeks out from camping now.

    I can also say the Timbren system is amazing. Absolutely zero bouncing with an empty trailer and BFGs at 36lbs is unheard of. Very impressed.

    For anyone looking at this. Few questions:

    1. I need some awning mounts for my rack and ARB awning. Rack consists of 1" square tubing. Looking at the Bomber mounts possibly.

    2. Do I add another fridge to the trailer? Already have one in the truck.

    3. Looking for a battery cage for my Northstar 31M @Pelfreybilt maybe mounted inside the rear storage compartment.

    4. A 50watt solar panel should add around 3amps of slow charging (assuming 75% efficiency). Worth the effort?

    5. Recommend a good pure sine inverter?
