A bit more trailer progress. Got the fender supports started, rear bumper/side step and of course had to make some kick out sliders that match the truck lol, also got some of the siding on.

This thing gets me excited. Lol. I’m so back and forth between building a rack for my truck for camping or building a camp trailer to reduce weight on my truck. The more I see your trailer the more I want a trailer. Will you be doing power and water on the trailer as well?

Sure am, plan will be a 40 gallon water tank with a Flojet pump and use the tankless water heater. 100w solar panel with 2 deep cycle batteries for power. Not planning for a whole lot to actually run off the batteries. Eventually make the top pop up an additional 2’ and add a shower pan with curtain.

Finally done with the cushions, ended up using 5” of memory foam wrapped with the softest outdoor rated upholstery I could find. Pretty pleased with the turnout and damn it’s comfy.

Everything is good, haven’t been on here in a while. Truck hasn’t changed much other than has a camper shell on it again.

Everything going on to the new ride?

shocks/suspension components, wheels and tires, skid plates, winch have been switched over already. Aux battery and RedArc isolator will find there way over eventually. Water tank and pump might go with the white truck.
