    That's a pretty slick set up there, John. Did you customize it or buy it with the rear kitchen area already there? Maybe a bit tight in sleeping area? What does the solar panel power? More info please!

    Thank you, I built it from the ground up. The complete build details are here. http://www.earlycj5.net/forums/showthread.php?80343-Starting-a-new-camp-trailer

    Solar panel charges the 12v battery in the tongue box and runs the interior lights and roof vent fan. It produces up to 190 watts. I also have a truck fridge 12v/110v fridge/freezer that can be powered from outlets inside the trailer or the tow vehicle. Basically I can run any 12v appliance I decide I need.

    There is air conditioning in the trailer when I have shore power or genset. It is just too hot in the summer in Texas to camp without one.

    The sleeping area is 5 ft wide and 6.5 feet long. I am 5 ft 11 inches tall and it is big enough for me to stretch out in.

    You guy's all seem to have a lot of fun with your trailers, I seem to just use mine for practical duties.
    Sold the short one painted tan and had to use the one I got from Big Bear to transport a roll of film to San Diego.

    well that's cool...

    your jeep has a hard canopy and soft sides?????

    Yes, all the sides can be removed in about 5 minutes and the doors lift off leaving just the top.
    It's the prototype but I really like how it works. Much less noise and heat transfer from the top side. It weighs about 50 lbs. The next one will be lighter.

    so the steel is a perm fixture?
    I like the concept...

    It's not steel, its fiberglass, just primer grey right now. One person can lift it off and carry it. I slide it towards the back and tilt it down to the ground.
