More details please. Or do you have a link somewhere? Won't venture to your part of the world til summer but sniffing around anyway. Add my fishing kayak to the LJ RR and it's me.
Loaded weight of the trailer would interest me most. Don't know if I'd want to tow 500+ each way.

Thanks. I'm an old fart with a good tent so don't need RTT and climbing around. Looks like a great base.
Can you link the FB?

The siding is exterior, OC Panel engineered treated wood siding. Primed and coated with 2 coats of black Herculiner.
I've had the same thing on the trailer I built for myself. Montana weather hasn't done a thing to it.

Same here, but being in Grizzly country like I am. I sleep better being 6 feet off the ground. I do a lot of solo camping. Just sucks when I have to climb down to piss. lol

I built my own trailer for camping last year. Pretty similar to this one. Sided mine in 16 gauge, but still, pretty darn similar. Knowing what I got in mine, and how much labor went into it, your pricing is a steal. Someone will be getting a great deal!

No Grizlies around here so I built my trailer and put the RTT at half height. It makes it a lot easier to get out at night to water the flowers.

Nice build! (y)

Oh yeah, griz! Your neck of the woods definitely has that. Saw a momma/cub combo on the 9th green at your local CF course back in the 70s - had to skip that hole and play it later in the afternoon.
No so much of a risk down around the Big Hole but still a consideration.
And we did have a pack of wolves very near camp at Georgetown Lake, mid day, a couple years ago.
Just bought a Kodiak canvas last year with Montana plans...now I'm rethinking.. 😂
Love the 5th wheel but towing the LJ is too much.

I have a Kodiak Canvas tent for bow season elk camp. I love it.

Not to derail your thread too much but I’m working on a trailer like this myself. How essential are the leveling jacks for tent operation and if they are essential, can you get away with 2 in the back and I in the front? Thanks
