Jeep,

Wow! That's innovative! Reminds me of the first 5x8 motorcycle hauler with a shallow kitchen up front that I saw and that inspired me to get a cargo trailer.

Wow, that looks awesome. I love the bedroom on the ramp door. :thumbsup:
On demand hot water heater? If so,how do you like it? :thinking:
Do you pull the hot water heater off before you trailer your rig?

My wife and I love the hot water on demand! The only problem I have had with it so far was at the Outer Banks, the wind was blowing about 30-40mph and it blew it out a few times. However if you turn the water off and back on again it relights! Other than that its perfect and we can take nice long showers!! The heater is permanetly mounted to the front of the trailer so no need to take it off and put it back on!

Wow!!! What a great build. Thanks for sharing. Love the back bedroom and the shower. Every thing looks like you put a lot of thought into it.

It gets pretty cold in your neck of the woods. Do you have a furnace or anything for heat?

Heater is on the left mounted to the wall, it is supplied from the front LP tank! I haven't used it in the colder months yet so hopefully it does the job! Only one way to find out! :twisted:

Hey Todd, with all that open space in the middle, you've got room for bunk beds or closets and pantry! ;)

Todd -- amazing build! One of the best on here, and so many new ways of doing things. Thanks for the pictures.

I like your fold-down wall table. I've seen them elsewhere, but wasn't paying attention at the time. Can you suggest a source for similar tables, or any details on the one you used? Thanks. -Gary

Tood,
I am with Gary, I like your fold downtable. How do you support the table when opened, fold down legs?
Thanks for the new pics. Great job.

The more I see your trailer the more I like it! Great Job.

When I first saw your Dometic unit I thought it was one of the ice boxes that looks like a refrigerator. No outside venting seems to support that idea. But the picture with the door open looks like there is an evaporator at the top. Or am I seeing it wrong?

Thanks,
Ed
