Off-road trailer with fold-out tent, awning, and annex / sun room Price reduced to $4,999.00 OBO
Bear Trailersports Trailgater overlanding and off-road trailer (2012) with Kakadu Bushranger 250 tent with awning and annex / sun room Price: $5,928.00.
EDIT:

See more pictures below and at end
I camped in this three nights at Overland Expo Mountain West. The 6 inch thick memory foam queen mattress is amazing. It is as good as a bed at home. Setup and take-down of the fold out tent is under 10 minutes. The awning was another 15 but provided luxurious outdoor living space. We had 50MPH wind gusts and the tent was solid. I added two guy lines but I am not sure they were needed. Other than 6 tent stakes, there are no other stakes of guy lines needed for tent setup. The side-room/awning is more involved with its metal poles, but really pretty easy and hugely functional (it has walls and a floor too if you want). If I was base camping a few days, setting up a hunt camp, or hosting a family reunion, I'd set up the awning. If I was moving camp daily I'd just set up the fold-out portion.
All that said, the off-road trailer alone is worth more than my asking price and the running water was nice to have.
That said, I'm ready to deal and get this sold! Fall is approaching, I don't want to keep storing it, I want to focus on trips I am taking this month.
My first asking price was based on tons of research and investment I made into fixing up the trailer. New price of $4,999.00 is the "lets get it sold price." If no one is stepping up at $4,999.00, I will accept the best offer I get. Its really an awesome setup at a screaming price! Thanks!
(If I am slow to reply its because I am out wheeling/overlanding/exploring!)

- This was last for sale 9 years ago. I bought it locally a few months ago. Its not the right trailer for me. It’s a bit to heavy to tow with my 80 and more tent than I need.
- What I have done:
- New tires and wheels (the LC70 series rims are staying with me. I have a great use for them.)
- Tongue crack welded at critical junction to cross braces. TIG welded by certified welder.
- Battery charged and held charge for months (this may be old, but electrolyte was full and holds a charge)
- Water tank works
- Cover zipper restitched to cover. Thread had failed, the rest is good.
- New 7 way blade connector

- 3500 lb Dexter adjustable spine torsion axle. Currently about 20 degrees (estimated) upward torsion axle setup (about 2-3 inches) so I estimate you could lift 4-6 inches just by adjusting the splines. See for example www.tiedown.com/pdf/c1413.pdf

- 5lb propane tank (if you want it)

- overall trailer height 41”-42” to accommodate tent section (keep this in mind if you are thinking to lift it)
- trailer tongue apparently lengthened by previous owner
- The 250 is the largest tent section offered, great for a family or extra people. The inside of the tent has dividers to separate sleeping areas. Build quality reminds me of my OZ Tent
