    Europa S OCCC and Cargo Capacity Compared to DX3

    Anyone know what the Europa S approximate OCCC is? I am now considering replacing our Isata5 36DS with a freightliner rig and was interested in the DX3 but I love the new Europa S layout. Wanted to get rid of the propane but that is a minor issue. The main issue is cargo capacity. Would love...

    Building a Bathroom in a Cargo Trailer for Alaska Trip with Truck Camper

    I apologize if this is a dumb question or stupid idea. But my wife and I want to plan a trip to Alaska. It’s a once in a lifetime type of trip. We have a FWC Hawk which as you know, does not have a lot of storage for “things” including a toilet. I had a crazy idea to buy a 6x10-ish cargo...

    I wasn't expecting awesome with my Cargo Mate, and I guess that's a good thing. Question for those of you who have installed rear windows in one: My rear barn doors are all wood, mostly 1x3 and 1x4, except for the outer skin. Literally 1x3 and a sheet of expanded polystyrene. I'm thinking of...

    8x16 Cargo Trailer Conversion: Design Choices, Build Steps, and Lessons Learned

    I pick up my new Cargo Mate trailer on Tuesday. 7' interior height, 32" RV door (I'm surprised this is so uncommon) & 50" tongue. I chose 8' width because everything 7' and wider uses the same width axle and 8' 6" seemed wider than I want to deal with. I chose barn doors because I don't...

    1. What normally fails if 1 cargo door quits power locking & unlocking? 2. How to dismantle the lock? It looks like the torx screws need to come out, is this true? They are in so tight I’m having a hard time removing them. None of my torx bits fit so trying with a square one that fits tight...

    One cargo door will not lock no matter what I do

    My battery compartment door will not lock no matter what I try. When "locked" with either the key or remote when you pull on the handle it moves very little-like it is locked-but the door still opens. The limited pull on the handle feels like the other doors which are actually locked. When...
