Looks great Steve, kind of makes your Jeep look small so it must be a good size trailor. Is that as high as it's going to go, dosen't look like much room for up travel that's why I ask.

Yep, that's as high as it will be. The tyres can tuck up in the guards but with no opposing weight on the wheels and an offroad hitch you don't really get much flex, just suspension travel on bumps etc.

Cheers
Steve

OK, I was looking at the hitch and wondering if that was a temp solution till you got an offroad hitch. Either way it looks good and very spacious. Only problem I see is if you get in the bad books with your better half you may find your self sleeping in it from time to time (at least it would be in comfort)

It has an offroad hitch, just not the super expensive Tregg but rather an Orac hitch, it's a very low profile and about $150 less than a Tregg

Cheers
Steve

Yep, it's a 100AH AGM battery, I took a chance and got it cheap off ebay but since they have a 10 year life and it's only a couple of years old I think it'll be fine, it looked like new and held just over 13v. I don't have anymore pics but if you google ORAC Coupling you'll find plenty of info on them

Cheers
Steve
