Silverbacks trailer to haul his booshi shit.. not my word.. its TacoXpo's.

[Silverback]

Added some side box latches to prevent an accidental opening and it also pulls the lid in tighter against the weatherstripping. Locking latches front and rear, probably just put a pin in them though.

Also got the anti-condesation mat and mattress back inside. I redid the stainless mounting hardware they sent me, I added some large fender washers to help spread the load on the base. As a bonus I got the cover zipped on, the zipper is fine, thankfully!

 

[Silverback]

Started to load up some of the compartments, figured the front passenger side are would be a good location to store the annex, floor, tent accessories and some fishing gear. Damn that annex and floor take up a shitload of space!!

The annex and floor is a lot of space and surprisingly weight too.

 

[Silverback]

Yeah that crap is heavy and bulky!

 

[TacoXpo]

Well, mine is in my RTT all the time. Typically it is used to ramp up the back portion of the mattress. I will say, the vinyl floor is great when the ground is soaked.

 

[Silverback]

So you fold yours up with it inside it? Which RTT do you have again?

Got an extended tongue section.

View attachment 6532 Got an extended tongue section.

Added a Blue Sea 12v outlet to the tongue box below the shore power plug. This will be to power the tent, it has built in lights and USB ports in the center hoop. I figure I can also use this same plug for the outdoor shower. Next is to build a tongue box to hold jerry cans and 20 lb propane tank. In the end I want a smaller tank but for now it will work fine.

Well the plan was to work on the front storage area but somethings came in the mail. So I mounted the rear stabilizers up high for travel. I need to drill out the holes on the mounts to fit the pin, its too big (thats what she said)

 

[Silverback]

Its sees sunlight!

Sprayed it with 303 fabric sealer. Next is to attach the annex channel and annex.

 

[Silverback]

Annex installed and sprayed... I may see about raising up the tent structure one peg.. give me a little more room for the cover to store underneath the platform. Need to measure when I pull it back in the garage to ensure it still fits.

Do you need a butler on these excursions? I may be out of a yob.

How did the 303 spraying go? Dry ok?

How did the 303 spraying go? Dry ok?

Yeah, it dried really fast.. I let it air out for a few more hours. Doesn't smell or anything. I think total time the tent was up was about 6 hours. Granted it was outside in sunlight most of the time, 95 degrees or more with a nice breeze to help it air out. But the 303 stuff and the sprayer I bought worked awesome. Thanks for the tip.

Looks great!

The saggy annex is why you will have a telescoping base for the tent. Mine is perfect if I crawl up on 4 cinder blocks.

 

[Silverback]

I noticed on the annex that I had the extension zipped into place. Once I took it off its just about perfect.

I just ordered some wheel chalks for it, need to look into leveling blocks. These would allow me to get about 4" more clearance. Plenty! http://a.co/8RAQJjU
