    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    bigfishtoys, I never got around to mounting and outfitting the S250 shelter to the 1102 trailer. Got caught up in other shelter types. Finishing up an ultra secret project for this year's Arizona Overland Expo and camping adventure with a 788 and 1102 chassis. May post a separate write-up on the...

    I guess pics wouldn't be complete in the 21st century without a drone view!

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    A few more showing the HAM radio antenna madness as well as the ARB awning room with 3 walls. Amazing what you can do with a few sections of PVC pipe, an old tripod, and OD green paint!

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    Here are a few pics from the AZ trip in May 2017. Almost all updated mods worked perfectly except new integrated faucet for the door sink. Connection hose seal crapped out but my fault for overtightening. Great adventure with a week worth of camping! OD

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    The HSTRU has a nice thick aluminum bumper on the back with the integrated drop down landing leg that would hold a tire carrier fairly easily... I thought about coming up with some sort of swing down tire carrier on the back but it would need to swing down to the ground since the rear door on...

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    ;) Sorry to hear about your knee... OUCH! Get better soon. Man that would have been cool to meet up at the Expo. I really like the M1116A2 frame setup for pulling behind the jeep. Perfect pull for the JK and inside the wheel track. Eventually I would like to get the trailer axle to a 5 on 5.5...

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    HSTRU Update: Been working on the trailer for the past 5 months or so getting it ready for the annual cross country trek from Missouri to Arizona to attend the Overland Expo in Flagstaff in May and do some camping North of Pason and the Rim. Changed color to match the new Jeep, reconfigured...

    No huge issues with rain. The Foxwing can be adjusted at each leg for height so during rain I can pitch it any way I like. I am probably going to switch to a higher bracket for the new ARB awning since it sits kind of low for heavy rain.

    I just past one up on -bay a few months ago. I spot about two a year so I will keep my eyes open. Hey that would be a unique Forum to have kind of a pay it forward watch list where folks watch for a particular thing for someone else and not swipe it :) Cheers! OD

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    Banjotx, Thanks for the compliment! My JKU has the factory Mopar 3" lift on it with the rear springs replaced by OME (Old Man EMU) "Heavies" to keep the rear end from sagging (they work freakin' awesome by the way). Tires on the Jeep are 34s. I actually have another two notches I can lift the...

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    Burt, Here are a couple of pics of the furnace setup. It is a Propex 2000. Darn thing only uses 1.5 amps and I think its 6000btu but I have to double check. It comes with a 3" hose about 5 or 6' long and a little vent cover. I originally setup the inside of the trailer so I could sleep in it...

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    The OZTent RV5 will zip into any side of the Foxwing awning so the whole setup looks humongous when everything is deployed. Since it is starting to cool off here in Missouri I need to set the whole fun house up and post some more pics. The idea is to have limitless setup options for fun and...

    My HSTRU (M116A2) Camper & Overland Trailer

    Hi Burt, thank you for the reply. Awning height: I fabricated a roof rack for the trailer out of 1.5"x1.5"x1/8" square aluminum and mounted it on 1" spacers that attach to the top of the trailer using some of the sling mount holes (I have a dislike for cutting into stuff :). The awnings are...

    New Side Awning Thanks Viper8. I just recently replaced the Rhino Rack passenger side awning with the new ARB 2500 with removable room. I lost the matching OD green but I can deal with it. The new awning is crazy at just over 8' both length and width.

    I could have sworn I posted a year or so ago about the camper conversion on my ADC 1000A Hydraulic Repair Trailer but I see there are no posts from me so I wanted to share a few pics of my rig. I did a complete transformation on the trailer including adding on board water supply, water heater...
