I joined the Cult

We'll see if I still like it in the morning

Used, but was built in Oct 2009
Dexter axle, spring over, electric brakes, Rancho shocks
Tail gate, removeable
Camping Labs 8'x6' tent
Lid, hinged and removeable
15 gallon stainless steel water tank
Kyocera 65 Watt Solar panel on retractable slides, detachable for optimum placement
dual Optima blue tops in a lockable nose box with solar charge controller
1500 watt Xantrex inverter
Lock N Roll hitch
Powder coated paint almost everywhere
Leaf Springs with Poly bushings, Procomp front YJ springs with 2'' of lift
Integrated rear hitch receiver
Nice coiled 7-Pin electrical cable

Negatives (minor):

will dump the giant tires and 5 bolt drums for something similar to my 4Runner (complete)
wiring is in need of improving
lid and tailgate are not lockable (yet)
need a better solar charge controller
tailgate fits tight but could use thin rubber weatherstripping on the sides (complete)
needs some touch up in some areas of the paint
the built in nose stand is difficult to use if the thing is nose-heavy
right rear shock looks to have been "kissed" by the nearby spring (lowest leaf had rotated about 3/4", pounded it back)
need to buy a brake controller (Tekonsha Prodigy 2 installed in 4Runner)

[LexusAllTerrain]

Congratulations on your new trailer, I am in the same position and should pick mine up this weekend, completely different design then yours but I have different needs.

Once again your trailer looks very nice, I hope you get alot of use!

Looks sweet you will love having a trailer rtt. My trailer is packed at all times all I have to do is unplug it from the wall and put beer in the fridge. Leave it the way it is and go enjoy it.

All of the gripes are very minor as I can take it out as it is. Switching to the same tires as my 4Runner will help lessen the nose down attitude. The other problem is that I cannot flip the hitch over because the nut on the Lock N' Roll was stuck. I've got the threads soaked in some oil right now to help with that.

If you decide you need/want spacers, I recommend you talk to the guys at Adventure Trailers. They have a local (SoCal) source that can build anything you need. Very high quality and quick turn time. That's where I got mine when I bought my used Horizon.

You'll also get to tap into their knowledge base, which is very deep.

Did you need the spacers for Toyota rims on your trailer?

Yeah, the previous owner set the Horizon up with hubs to match his Jeep. I talked to Mario at AT about the alternatives to reconfigure it to match my Toyota. Cost was about a push between new hubs vs. adapters. With the backspace on the wheels I use he thought I'd probably benefit with a little extra clearance, and I liked the idea of a wider stance on the trailer for better stability. So, long story short, we ended up converting the bolt pattern with adapters.

Ended up with the outer edge of my tires pretty much even with the side boxes on the Horizon.
