RTT trailer because I'm short

[jonb8]

Thanks, I'm not keeping this one so I'll wait till the next one for shiplap....LOL

First time I slept in the tent during a storm, no leaks and it didn't thrash around and keep me awake in the wind... Was quite pleased with it, I finally got a pic of it set up in the yard to dry after I put it away wet.

Nice job it looks good.

Yeah, that's a pretty slick trailer. Just as big as it has to be.

Kick Ass as usual Jon!

Rain fly on ours held water had to slide one side down few inches, did you run into that?

 

[jonb8]

No not that I noticed, I didn't put the back fly up and it flopped around a little in the wind.

trailer looks great. I know when I built mine lots of consideration was put into play since the wife & I are up in age: 66 & 59 yrs old. We both have no problem climbing in or out of the RTT or using the ladder. But I know some day I will have to sell this & go to a tear drop. We have the same tent as you do & been in a few storms, fair'd well w\o leaks or any issue. We changed our mattress out for a self inflating queen size mattress: Exped Duo XL XW queen size. Talk about a great night sleep. Again your trailer look great.

Looks like you're out enjoying it.... I need a trip in my life right now but the kids have band and no free weekends for awhile...

What aluminum alloy did you use and what thickness?

 

[jonb8]

.40 backed with 1/2 inch plywood. It's actually big truck box trailer roof I had left over from the teardrop build, I bought it off a roll at a big truck repair facility in Columbus OH
