Well, this is a very bittersweet post for me. Our family is in the process of selling most of our belongings as this time next month we will be starting our next adventure and living and travelling full time in an RV with our 1.5 year old son and 3 year old daughter. I am extremely excited and feeling very lucky to be in a position to do this, but it also means selling some vehicles and toys and hardest of all our beloved TrakShak. We have considered storing it, but we don't know how long this adventure will be.. could be 1 year, could be 10, we don't have a plan other than hitting the road and figuring it out as we go. We even briefly considered towing it behind our LX570... which will be towed behind a 40ft Class A motorhome. That's probably a bit much, and not sure that's even legal... so we must part ways. Enough about my feelings, lets talk about this awesome trailer!
These things are fairly common in Australia, but I am only aware of 2 that have made it over to North America so this thing definitely turns some heads and rightly so, it is an amazing piece of engineering. I'm a visual person so lets get to the photos and I'll explain as we go!
Here is the rear of the trailer with everything closed up and ready to tow. The body appears wider than the track width but its just the perspective. This thing has some seriously beefy independent suspension and it is the best towing trailer I have ever had. I've done some long hauls with it through some remote areas and let's just say its seen speeds nearly double what the sign you see in your mirrors on the U-Haul tell you keep it under and it's just rock solid. Light enough that you can tow it with anything. But heavy enough that it is planted and doesn't get blown around.
On the trail this thing is even more impressive. I have taken it all over CO and UT and it has never held me back. Approach and departure angles are great and the clearance is amazing, but the suspension is just so dialed in. I've been dragging trailers and campers of all sorts off-road for many years, my wheeling buddy has a converted M101 with an RTT and solar setup that probably weighs half what this thing does, but it's a handful compared to this thing. You really have to experience it for yourself to appreciated but it is well engineered and floats through the rough stuff.
You can probably guess the environment this thing was designed for just by how much water and fuel it can carry. 6 Scepter Jerry Cans on this side. 3 More and 2 x 10Lb propane tanks on the other. The Light Green Jerry Cans are for Water. The Dark green cans are for fuel. All 6 Scepter Cans are included along with the good (Not the CARB safety latch, leak everywhere style, B.S.) gas spout.
OK let's get to the fun stuff and start opening it up! Flip two latches and the gas struts will lift the solar panels to vertical. Notice the white strips of plastic on the top of the solar frame and the tie down points on the corners. The solar frame is also a boat loader. This thing is designed to carry an aluminum boat on top of the solar panels, it even has a mount of the front to carry your outboard motor. Don't worry it gets even better this thing is so cool!
Now from here you can deploy the tent and keep the solar rack up and out of the way and then tilt it catch the sunlight. This is helpful if you are camped in a tight area and it keeps the trailer foot print small.
