I am posting this ad to assist the son of my friend who resided in AZ, with the sale of this trailer. The son resides in Illinois. I have provided the sellers contact information at the bottom of this ad. Please only contact the seller using this provided information.
The sellers listing:
Trailer was custom fabricated to my fathers specifications in 2012, by Rubberside down custom fabrication in Mesa, AZ at a cost of $9500, to meet the demands of Adventure touring/camping, including extreme off-road use, (AKA The famed Rubicon Trail). It is an incredibly sturdy, yet lightweight trailer, which includes all the camping gear you would need to go adventure exploring on a moments notice.
It is equipped with the following features.
- 2012, 1.6M, Howling Moon, Roof Top Tent, including the optional rainfly, used only a handful of times, and in excellent condition. Howling Moon RTT's are the original RTT manufacturer, and are sought after and prized by the off-roading, expedition, & adventure touring community. They are manufactured to the highest standards, and imported from South Africa. New in 2012 price = $2600

- Welded steel box tube frame, reinforced at all critical joints for structural integrity.
- The upper framing of the cargo container box to which the RTT mounts, is also constructed of heavy gage, welded steel box tube. It also features hinged doors on heavy duty hinges, which are both latched and lockable (with included padlocks). Doors are secured with heavy duty spring loaded slam latches, for access to the interior storage compartment. There is one nicely sized smaller door on each side at the front of the trailer, to allow removal of the included storage bins, and one full-width & similarly hinged & latched/lockable door in the back. Interior floor is partitioned to contain the three Rubbermaid sealed storage bin/boxes to the left side of the compartment, with the remaining floor, and cargo space open for any other items.
- 2" Heavy duty trailer hitch receiver in trailer frame rear crossmember which is tied in full length of the frame, all the way forward to the hitch, and joints reinforced, and is thus sturdy enough for use as a recovery point, mounting of a vise, bicycle rack, kayak racks, or similar adventure touring items, etc.
- Kilby "Max Coupler", which is a cushioned, 360-degree "Swivel" hitch coupler, to fit a std. 2" HD vehicle tow hitch receiver. This premiium coupler allows cushioned, full articulation of both vehicle and trailer over rough terrain, without binding or shock loading of the hitch, vehicle, and trailer.
- 3500lb, Torsion axle for outstanding ground clearance, equipped with electric brakes. Axle width sized to match the Jeep JK, for perfect tracking of the trailer to the vehicle path.
- 35" Goodyear MTR "K" tires, mounted to custom aluminum wheels, matching the tire/wheel combination of the JKUR (Jeep Unlimited Rubicon, 4-dr), which was used for towing this trailer. Wheel bolt pattern of 5-on-5.
- 2000lb manual tongue jack, Heavy Duty manual "BAL" rear frame jacks, which when used in conjunction with the tongue jack, and the installed "bubble level indicators" (side-to-side, and fore-aft) are used for leveling/stabilizing the trailer when setting up the Roof-Top Tent, for a level and stable sleeping experience. NOTE: Like every feature of this trailer which is incredibly well-built and capable of taking on most any terrain, "BAL" leveling jacks are the premium level of the jacks designed and used in the RV industry for large 5th wheel trailers.
- Storage rack on tongue, nicely sized for up to three, 5-gal. "Jerry cans". The cans are secured with rachet straps. Included with the trailer are the two 5 gal water cans, and one 5-gal fuel can, shown.
- Heavy duty fenders, designed strong enough to stand on if needed, and wide enough to fully cover the large 35" tires.
- Multiple exterior tie-down rings for securing of tarps, rainfly's, adventure toys, etc.
Equipment included with the sale of this trailer:
- Three folding camp chairs, two "potty stands" for use with "wag bags", wheel chocks (2), 6' x 8' outdoor carpet, folding stand/step for easing step-up entry to the RTT (8" h x 18" x 15"). Step folds flat to approx. 1.25" thickness.
- Three Rubbermaid "Action Packer" latched and lockable storage containers, which provide clean storage for any items you wish to be kept clean and dry. One is empty and was utilized for storage of food supplies. A second is filled with cooking gear, including a near-new Coleman "Fold-N-Go" propane cooking stove, REI Titanium pots & pans, REI cooking utensils, dishwashing supplies, etc. The third is filled with misc. camping and vehicle supplies, including tent stakes, hammers, an air-powered ½" impact wrench for changing tires, the special socket for the security lug nuts, spill kit pads, wag bags, trash bags, paper towels, spare propane bottles, rope, etc.
