That is a GREAT find! I think would be a great idea. Gonna show Handbrake this one - she might actually approve!

To make things even better - they're in Arkansas - not too far from here. Sort of. At least closer than CA.

Yeah, I really can't recommend these guys highly enough. Give Robert Shepard a call, he has been really helpful getting me just what I need, and keeping me updated on its progress. Really accomodating and able to match hubs, wheels, colors, pretty much anything you'd want to do.
I am planning to pick it up next week, once he's back from Moab.
We're planning to take 2 weeks along the Appalachians...Chatahoochee, Smokies, Shenandoah on the way back to RI.

I like the looks of this too. Very efficient use of space and not over the top ostentatious, not that there is anything wrong with that.

The folding tongue jack will be a huge help and a great feature. But what about a pintle hitch over a standard ball hitch? Any concerns with using a ball hitch on the trail? Not sure what type of trips you take but it seems a pintle hitch would be a good idea for any trailer that will see time in the dirt.

Is the rear axle supported by leaf springs and shocks or something else? I couldn't tell from their spec sheet. Either way, looks like a nice unit and a great way to go for those needing some extra room. Cool stuff!

Great looking unit

Is it powdercoated or wet paint?

Any idea what it weighs?

[Rhode Trip]

Yes. leaf springs. We discussed a pintle hitch. I didn't think it was necessary in my application. Definitely worth considering, but I really don't wheel, per se.
The cargo boxes are aluminum with powder coat. The Chassis is wet paint.
I expect the tongue weight to be about 125lbs, fully loaded.
