No more rona? And you didn’t die? You are defying the odds. Lol

That cake pan is a genius idea for the switch panel.

Thanks everyone...

Now I need to get an appointment with CHP for a VIN number since DMV won't do any actual work. Holding off on installing the tent until after CHP does their thing, wasn't sure if they would make me tag it as an RV or some crazy shit like that. I'm really hoping to license it with permanent trailer plates.

This has been a giant pain in the ass for me, still don’t actually have plates on it because every time I go to the DMV with the paperwork they gave me the last time, they say it’s not what they need and have to do something different. Luckily for me at least South Carolina doesn’t require plates for trailers and I can take it to surrounding states without plates. I do need to figure it out if I ever plan to go out west though.

Let me know if you get this taken care of. When I talked to the DMV they basically told me nothing can be done until they start accepting appointments again. The CHP doesn’t issue VIN’s.

I finally got my VIN number from the CHP! The guys that inspected it were actually pretty cool about the whole thing, one of them is a Unimog guy & was really interested in my build.

Here it is with the tent installed

Im defiantly going to need to build a pull out slide for the fridge, I can barely get into it inside the trailer.

DMV was decent to deal with also, all I needed was VIN paperwork from CHP, statement of construction, application for registration, and an application for title. 20 minutes and $93 later i was out of there with a set of PTI plates.

Heres the maiden voyage, not the most picturesque location but we camped at a snowmobile staging area for deer camp. Hauled it up there with the truck because I really didn't want to put a bloody deer carcass in my jeep.

I cut the crank handles off of the stabilizer jacks & welded nuts on them so I can use a 1/4" impact to run them up and down, it made the jack bodies a lot more low profile. I also welded a shitty old socket on one of the handles for a manual option.
