Love you set up! I have been dreaming about adventure trailers, but I'm 6'4" so it seems like a tough balance between getting the RTT/awning up high enough to make for usable space underneath while also not sacrificing the low profile while on the road. Can you tell me a little more about your lift set up? It looks ideal. Is this assisted at all with gas struts, etc? Thanks!
The 4x6 expo trailer build.
I have been lurking and drawing plans for a lot of months now. Late last night I jumped in and ordered the Timbren 2000k suspension and 6x5.5 hubs. Today, I started the full size 2x4 based wood mock up. The plan is to fine tune the tounge length and throw the axles on for some testing...

The build thread is a good place to start. I think the principle is good however the precision of the lift build was, ah poor. I am to blame, but I did it in 2 days and the went on a trip. In general retaining the wires in the lower pulleys is the issue. They jump the pulley and can jam the lowering action. The strength of the design is that you can lower to travel and raise it to camp using a ratchet. This allows the annex room to be used fo weather or cold conditions.
I have several improvements on the drawing board for version 2.
