I just thought I would start a thread about The Afrispoor Off-Road Trailer I am reviewing .
Afrispoor Rugged Off Road Trailers - The Stainless Steel Go Anywhere All Terrain Overland Expedition Tent Camper
At the Overland Expo 2010. Chris From Afrispoor asked if I would keep this trailer and use it for a few months. So I took it to Cruise Moab.
This was one week after Expo, so I really wasn't prepared to use it to it's potential, but we did camp out of it for several days.
Just a few pictures to show how it looks behind an FJ.
As you can see the trailer disappears as it gets set up
Since this was the first time we opened it, without directions, we managed to get it all set up in under 2 hours. That includes all the screen ins and awnings. I think I could do it in about 45-60 minutes, to this stage, next time.
If it's an overnight thing, it could be set up in 20 minutes or so.
The list of features on this trailer is lengthy
THE KITCHEN
The kitchen is situated on the left side of the trailer. It provides a large working area with a mounted two-plate gas stove, giving the chef room to make a feast! A cutlery rack and a sliding drawer for kitchen spices, sauces, and whatever else you want to bring can be found on the left front door.
THE TRAILER TENT
Complete sun and rain protection is available with three separate sides that attach to the tent awnings and can enclose the whole living and social area. You can also use all this extra enclosed space for additional sleeping or to retain heat in colder environments.
FREEZER NOSE CONE
Positioned in the front nose cone is an 21 gallon (80 liter) National Luna freezer, giving you plenty of cold storage space.
WATER TANK
Mounted at the rear of the trailer is a 18.5 gallon (70 liter) water tank, giving you plenty of water to clean with and prepare meals.
CLOTHES DRAWS
There are 6 clothes drawers and additional storage space on the right side. The easily accessible clothes drawers are situated on the right side of the trailer with a door that opens into another working area. There are 4 mounted clothes drawers and additional space for extra linen. More can be added if requested. If you would prefer to use some of this space to store other things, that is of course possible too!
A SLIDING DRAW
The trailer's rear has a sliding draw mounted on rollers for quick and easy access. The roller-drawer is typically used for grocery storage and additional packing space. Afrispoor's roller-drawer system means an end to containers which take up unnecessary space and weight. The opened drawer ensures easy access to items inside.
THE TRAILER ROOF TOP SIDE TENT
has been designed to be especially user-friendly. It opens by removing the dust and water proof cover using the heavy-duty zipper. The trailer tent is then opened from the side with ease. The whole tent can be erected within minutes, just in case the weather causes a rush!
A rear awning can also be joined with another heavy-duty zip attachment
Company:
I will add more information as I review it. I will be adding pictures from our next event at Sedonafest, June 6th
This will be my residence for the FJ Cruisers Summit in Ouray this year
Thanks
