Craig's Offroad Teardrop Build

I would have probably gone that route to a point. I wanted the wider trailer to fit the bigger bed since im pretty big. But i would have liked the track width to be a little closer to the tow vehicle. Im not an expert in trailer construction but id assume the the wider track makes it more stable and less prone to tip over. it also means if you are going to hit something it will probably hit the fender first which is easily fixable compared to your living quarters

Trip Report:

I went to Orcas Island up in North West Washington a few weeks ago. It was for an event called Toorcamp which is essentially summer camp for computer geeks. Its an excellent event that happens every other year somewhere in Washington. Heres some pictures of our camp with my setup in it.

Crazy expensive ferry ride but we fit on

all setup for nighttime fun. our camp was safari themed. We had giant jungle animal pinatas filled with adult beverages, most of us had pith helmets. We had a safari style canvas tent hangout areas. we sourced a ton of tusker beer to drink as well.

Its not camping until the tesla coils come out.

main dome where they held talks.

missed the ferry home so had to wait 3 hours for the next one. Popped open the Bunduawn and hung out

which made us the line hangout for everyone else

Very nice tear!!! I hope to have one some day myself. I like the air ride, did you put leveling valves on it?

Thanks

Its got 3/8" SMC electric valves that i can control from the switch panel on the front of the tool box at the front of the trailer. It connects to the air compressor and air tank on the front of the trailer. I had the stuff already from a previous project car so i figured id throw it on. I do have manual bypass valves tho so i can completely bypass the tank or remove it from the system and air up with the bags that have schrader valves attached to them.
