The cap can be removed but the channel plate at the front has to be unbolted. Once the plate is removed the lid can lifted and slide through the rack. Its not a huge inconvenience to me since I don't plan on removing the cap very often (if ever).

Glad you found the post! If the traffic was a little heavier I would have been able to direct you here, but since this is one of the only results when you google "Coleman Versa roof rack" I had a feeling you might stumble across it. The drawing in post #2 is the only info I gave to the guy who...

If I wasn't able to get my rack fabricated I would have done something like this. I wonder if the wind issue could be mitigated by lowering the top of the rack and adding some extra lateral support or bracing. My tent isnt as high as I'd like, but I think by designing it so that the top of the...

Unfortunately I couldn't find the order confirmation or receipt for the axle. I just measured the existing axle and searching for the best price with a reasonable lead time. I believe the hubs were ordered as an add on item with the axle. I wish I had the documentation to include specifics but...

To get the remaining 10" you could lock the tent at this height, lower the jack, add a 10" block of some kind under the jack, unlock, and raise the rest of the way.

As far as I can tell, the rack is holding up great. I would guess I've put about 3,000 miles on the trailer so far. The mounting bolts needed a little tightening after the first trip but they haven't loosened at all since. Here is a photo of the inner mounting plate. I am planning on replacing...

I can totally see it being too small for a lot of people here but its perfect for us. The lid actually gives a surprising amount of extra storage that lets me fit everything we used to stuff into the back of the car with the exception of the cooler. The floor dimensions are 5' long and 4' wide...

I was talking with my father about it one day and he mentioned that there was an aluminum security fence at his shop that was scraped after being hit by a truck. The welder there would weld the rack for me and all I needed to do was send some plans. I sent them by the end of the day. Sorry for...

For the past few years my wife and I have been mounting our Tepui Ayer 2 on top of my VW Golf whenever we can for camping trips. It was a major pain but for us it was more than worth it for the quick set up/take down time. I've been scouring craigslist for the right trailer ever since. Because...

I've been using this fan in my Tepui and so far so good: Odoland Fan and Light I hate replacing batteries so I wired in a buck converter to run it off a USB rechargeable battery pack. I added a female barrel jack to the top of the fan and whipped up a cord with USB on one end and a male barrel...

Even without any CAD knowledge a 3D printer is crazy fun and becomes more and more useful the more you get familiar with it. sites like thingiverse have such a huge collection of pre-designed parts and pieces. Some obscure things you wouldn't expect someone else to have designed can be found...

One last suggestion, if you haven't done it already, try and enable the "developer options" in the phone. If I remember correctly, go to settings, device info, and look for "build number" tap it 5? Times in a row and the phone will all you if you want to enable developer settings. Once you do...

I have the Flip 4 and had the opposite issue for a while. Some phones tether the volume control of the speaker with the volume on the phone meaning making a volume adjustment on the phone results in the same increase or decrease in volume as if you were to make a change from the speaker itself...

Found this today. Awesome price but a little too far away for me. Maybe someone here will jump on it. https://newhaven.craigslist.org/spo/d/camping-kitchen-center/6222162612.html
