I asked Mario about the access to the storage. It can be configured to either a drivers or passenger side opening. Buyers choice...
Scotty,
Please clear this up for me. Mario= Rubiconcruiser? I think I figured this out from the Diablo pics. In which case... "I AM AN ASS"!

so for 4500 you get the tent, the water tank, the fuel cans, tires/wheels, airbags......everything?
enlighten me
Thanks_Dylan

Mario + Adventure Trailers.
$4500 DOES NOT = TRAILER PLUS TENT. The 4500 number was what Mario said was the approximate price of the Chaser as shown in the picture I post (see the air suspension photo).
The tent is listed on Mario's Adventure Trailers site, and on my website www.AutoHomeUS.com

Adventure Trailers do not have their new models on their website yet. The Chaser starts at around $2300 for the box then add what you want. Their new King size tent, which I believe is made in California now, is $1600. All decked out with the forward storage box, battery, 19-gallon water storage tank, tent, electric brakes, air suspension yadee yadee yadee is around $7600.

Thanks Amigo, we had a great time!
The airbag system uses 7" Firestone airbags, which are mounted on top of the 23" long trailing arm. The triangulated nature of the arm does a good job of protecting the bag.
If I were going to pull this trailer on an extended expedition, I would buy an extra bag just incase.
There are two air inlet ports on the tounge box and the airlines are run through the framerails.
I get the trailer back next weekend. I will do a detailed review and images then too.

No, not Mario. I am actually not sure who Rubiconcruiser is... I thought I had an idea, but the birthdate in his profile made that clear.

That was actually one of the best results of the test. We ran into intensely fine silt and had very little ingress into the box. The front tongue box did have dust ingress, but has no seal. I know Mario is working on fitting a seal to that box as well.
Alright, I feel better about not being an Ass. RC is going by Jim Cowan or something other. I am assuming he is not affiliated w/ Adventure trailers and am calling him back out to buy a star and create a thread to pimp his own wares.

BTW the dust was so thick it was flying up out of wholes in the ground like puddles of on the windshield - so thick it settled on the ground and you could not see the tracks from the vehicle in front of you - We were riding behind all three of the trailers on this run and could see how well they articulated through the deep sand - rocky washes - and smooth pavement
The trailers seem to shed the dust ( excellent powder coating? )- so when it came time to park at camp the trailers where the cleanest vehicles in camp - inside and out
These units are well thought out - attention to details are excellent - this is the type of company/product you want to commit money to - lets face it many folks want to build trailers but in the end how many of us do - and to this quality? ( completely powder coated - suspension etc)
My mantra - "Buy the best and cry once"
Bman can you let a brotha 8.5K ? I want the horizon

Dude I can't even buy myself a friggin star. How you expect me to come off 8G's? I can't even scrape together 8 C-notes to buy a Canadian 101 from a fellow CSC member.
As a matter of fact I can't even afford to pay attention as it is.

I did put together a quick specification page.
Spec page and press release: http://www.expeditionswest.com/equipment/adventure_equip/adventure_trailers/chaser.html
I will have the trailer at the house this week, and can start taking the detailed image shots and pull it on some more technical terrain for testing.
