Wow I think that last picture is the best one yet :thumbsup: looks so inviting as for the generator if you got one of the more expensive ones :FNP then you'd have to repaint your trailer :lol:
your doing a great job on this trailer :applause: :applause: :applause:
as for the single just post a sign outside of the trailer...be careful :twisted: if your going to a gathering someone else might do it for you

Thanks! Thats really the only reason I got it... didnt want one of them silly RED inverter-type fancy generators :lol: :lol:

As for the sign... Thats certainly a possibility considering some of the other shenanigans that happen at the TJ's Chesapeake Bay gatherings! :shock:

The March issue of the AARP magazine has a page of Harbor Freight ads, including one for Zach's mini generator for $89. I'm heading there now.... :D

Nice! :thumbsup:



Well I went to the transfer station at lunch today, to get the X-II weighed. Its a hefty little sucker!! With the mattress and battery, it weighs.......


Drum roll please....




1100 lbs :o :lol:



So, I can load it with up to 620 lbs of gear without going over the trailer's GVWR of 1720lb.

Good thing my Subie is a beast so I can pull this little tank. :twisted:

Great work, Zach.

I was curious to see how much it would weigh. Sadly, still to heavy for one of my tv's.

How does it compare to the convertible? Can't remember how much that weighed (or, if it was ever said).

I was kind of dreading getting this one weighed. I was guessing around 900lbs. Guess I was a little bit off. :lol:

I never got my first convertible weighed after its completion. I did estimate the weight based on the wood volume data that I took from the CAD model. Adding that to the trailer weight, door weight, etc, I estimated around 700-800 lbs. And now that I know how much this new one weighs, I believe that estimate was probably pretty close.
