I like the idea of leaving the gas tank and pump and having onboard fuel for the towing vehicle, or a tongue generator. Maybe just from the output to a long 3/8 fuel line with a valve. And have a drill battery connection to run the pump.
@WhateverWithWheels8 күн бұрын
I actually considered this when building this trailer. I determined it to be unnecessary during the build process. I have traveled all over the country and never had an issue with not having enough fuel, and I do have a 5 gallon Jerry can on my back bumper on longer trips for just in case. While it would be cool to have the additional 18 gallon tank, I decided it wouldn’t be worth the extra weight as I was trying to keep this trailer as light as possible while still being supper well built. I’ve since taken this trailer all over on mountain passes, pretty gnarly forest service roads etc and having it as light as I was able to get it is a huge benefit
@WhateverWithWheels8 күн бұрын
After quite a few trips now using this trailer I think I am going to add a water tank under the center of the trailer tho as to have onboard water. I thought about cleaning the gas tank and using it for this but didn’t really feel the steel tank would be ideal. Plus I’d rather have any kind of sloshing liquid be located in the center of the trailer.

@@WhateverWithWheels thank you for the extra insight! I find myself running low on fuel on 10 day+ elk hunting trips in Colorado on the fire roads. Plus sometimes we go camping locally and bring a generator. My wife will drive the Tesla separately and the kids have run out of battery sitting in it and running the heat/playing games on the consul.

Found a couple of these I am going to look at this weekend. Looked into the regular utility trailer idea, then a van, camper, etc., for what I am looking to do I think an old F150 long bed will suit me just fine. Awesome, will definitely follow the build, maybe confiscate some ideas. Thanks for the vidz so far.
@WhateverWithWheelsАй бұрын
Awesome! A utility bed was a thought for me. Maybe a future project? Haha it would have to be a mini truck size tho. A full size bed is much to big for the trails I take this thing down

Do you have any highway sway issues when empty, after the suspension and wheel upgrades? I just got a 78 Chevy Luv trailer i plan on doing this to. I know its a weight issue, but i am hoping this would fix the sway when driving faster that 55 when empty.
@WhateverWithWheelsАй бұрын
Absolutely zero issue with mine. I built the tongue on it heavy as to make the tongue weight right when empty. Most of the time the sway comes from having to much weight behind the axle. Be sure to make your tongue long enough and have enough weight on the tongue when empty and you shouldn’t have an issue.

Why is it necessary to have the crap music background?
@WhateverWithWheels2 ай бұрын
Typically added music is used for two things. Firstly to keep people engaged in the video as long silence has shown to make people click off of the video. Secondly to cover up the copyrighted background music I had playing in the shop as to not have the video taken down by a copyright strike. I will admit the music in this video wound up being much louder than what I normally shoot for. Everyone has different music taste and in a shop style video an aggressive rock music appeals to more of the target audience than other genres. If it’s not your cup of tea I apologize.
