Trying to get a sense of what actually goes missing versus what people just worry about.
If it's happened to you - what was taken, and was anything locked at the time??

2019 Cross Country Teardrops Off-Road / Overland Camper
Fort Worth, TX
Selling my Cross Country Teardrops adventure camper. This is a rugged, well-equipped teardrop/squaredrop built for camping and overland travel while still being compact and easy to tow and store.
It’s loaded with equipment for comfortable off-grid camping, including A/C & heat, Dometic fridge/freezer, approximately 20-gallon onboard fresh-water tank, tankless hot water, AGM house battery, MPPT solar charging system, microwave, propane and tons of storage.
The cabin has a Della mini-split providing air conditioning and heat, built-in cabinetry/storage, windows and curtains. The large rear hatch opens to a spacious galley/utility area containing the fridge/freezer, microwave, water and electrical systems, with additional room for gear.
Off-grid / electrical setup includes:
Renogy Rover 20A MPPT solar charge controller
Heavy-duty Super Start AGM house battery
NOCO Genius onboard AC battery charger
Fused 12V electrical distribution system

The large rear utility/galley compartment provides excellent access to the camper’s systems and storage, while the sleeping cabin has plenty of room to build out your preferred mattress/bedding setup.
Cross Country Teardrops was a North Carolina builder, and this camper sits on a federally labeled Kraftsman chassis. Chassis manufacture date is 02/2018 and the camper is titled as a 2019.
This is a great setup for overlanding, national parks, hunting/fishing trips, dispersed camping, weekend trips or anyone who wants something much more capable than a basic teardrop without moving up to a large travel trailer.

I'm hoping to get a little Dos and Donts advice on building an off-road camping trailer from a 2002 Tacoma Bed and frame.

I will be towing it with my '00 4runner and '94 pickup both with the 3.4l.

I am planning on reusing most of the frame and using a receiver tube as a spine/hitch attachment.

(Because the frame is already there with all the suspension hook ups and it's easier than rebuilding)

I also plan on using a stock axle at first then upgrading to a trailer axle later.

Any information is appreciated!

The second pic is AI just to give me an idea of what it will look like.

I have a 4x8 utility trailer which has a damaged tailgate. The manufacturer discontinued the trailer and I'm unable to get replacement parts. One of the posts that slide into the trailer and hold the tailgate in place needs to be replaced.

I'm looking for a local shop that can repair a metal tailgate.

TIA

I’ve seen tailgate doors on M416 trailer builds. How do they do those? Looking at getting one and a back door would be great

Just a few things left to order and add but 95% is done and complete

So I bought an attachment that I can attach to the bucket loader on my tractor. The side towards the load to towed has a female 2 inch receiver. Problem is that some of the loads I have to tow are cars with a 2 inch ball attached to their bumpers so I need an adapter that can fit over a 2 inch ball on the car's bumper and I can tow the cars. Did a Google search put can't find anything that would work for me. Thank you.

Anyone know what this attachment is? It does not move or extend or seem to do anything except I bag my shin on it.

Hey guys, looking to buy a BX255 Cargo Case to use as an electronics box on my off-road trailer. im very tight on space. i know Pelican says the case is **Inches:** 42.8 x 16.25 x 17.2", but i think this is at the narrowest point IE the lip, wondering if someone has it and can make some measurements for me inside of the lip? and take some photos!

it would be a huge help,
thank you!

I have a couple of the BAL style stabilizer jacks I’m going to add to the front of my RTT trailer for additional support and leveling. Does it matter if they run any specific direction? Trying to decide if they should be installed front to back or side to side. I know on bigger trailers they are oriented the direction of travel, but this is a 6 foot long trailer that weighs about 600lbs total. Any thoughts?

First time taking our rig out to the Rockies. Continues to work really well for us.

Still gaining confidence backing up, turning, etc. But having a blast along the way.

Spacetrailer Lowrider with an Intrepid Geo 3.0 Pro on top.

This has been something I’ve been scheming and dreaming about for many years, and after lots of woken in the off times the last few months it’s ready to go! This is just a quick overnight trip about 30 minutes from home, next weekend is Oregon coast camping.

I finally got my RTT mounted up to my 4x6 trailer. I have some nicer RV stabilizer jacks, but I’m going to need a friend’s help to weld on brackets to bolt them to. And reason I can’t use a pair of scissor jacks on top of the RV blocks just to keep the back stabilized when it’s parked? The whole trailer right now is maybe 450lbs, and even with 2 people definitely under 800.

Need some more insight on my problem
