I'd like to avoid covering my trailer in mud like that. Has anyone looked into a good quick release mudflap option? I think the best protection would come from one of those RV "grass skirts" mounted to the receiver hitch on the rear bumper. Has anyone done anything like this?
Anyone???

Maybe a Dirt Skirt?..

Now let's get back to the real purpose of this thread. This is not my trailer, and it's not set up for anything yet, but it is my favorite picture so far...
Gotta love the 'half-scale' tow vehicle.

Still a work in progress. This trailer is unique in design. It is a pop up made from 2 FJ40 tubs and tops chopped and fabricated together. The top section holds a queen mattress, all my bedding, a 60" table, and the tent enclosure. Ultimately, below the bed, the front section will contain a propane tank, 18 gal water tank, battery, electrics, toilet, shower, and a 70" slide out kitchen with bar, sink, stove, lantern mast, and drawers for kitchen storage all coverd by a pole-less awning. The rear section is left open for camping gear storage. It has dual swingout spares and a tailgate for an additional work space. Rear corners have reciever tubes out each side for accessorie platforms (I.E. fridge opposite kitchen) or stabalizer jacks. Also has a reciever hitch out the back for recovery or winch mount. Sand ladders, shovel, axe, etc. all mount to the front above tongue. Sand ladders act as a shield for debris. Currently set up with a rotating lunet for maximum articulation. Updated pictures in my build thread "Expedition trailer made from 2 FJ40 tubs"

THanks! I still have a long way to go. The tongue is 42" from the body to the end of the lunette ring.
Well it's a bit smaller, but still an off-road trailer. We haven't had the trailer on the trail yet, but we did just break in the Can-Am Commander at Moab last week.
She's a real work of art!!
Hey Drew where are your trailer photos, you have been working on for 2 years, it has got to be some kind of machine..Need to see em brother..
That's a pretty slick matched pair you got. What kind of hitch setup will you be using? Something other than just a ball I hope. And some webbing over the trailer cargo area? When I look at the entire setup I almost expect to see the trailer have its own cage, lol. Very nice.
It's a full articulating hitch that we fabbed up in our shop, although there are companies that make them. And yes, some netting would definitely be used on the trails.

It's not an RTT on a little trailer, it's a TrailBlazer trailer.
