    Looked like it, but I wasn't sure the Tepui ladder configured the same as the RTT I used to have. I opened mine off the back for similar reasoning, but didn't own an annex for my RTT. I just wanted a dry place to cook if it was raining and a shady spot to sit if it was sunny, and my vehicle...

    1) I live in southern Oregon and, in the almost two years I've had mine, I could put all the water leaked into a shot glass (if it didn't already have a liquid refreshment in it). I'm sure the seals will compress at some point in time and require replacement though. 2) The lids halves work great...

    I don't know of any north of myself (extreme southern Oregon, just north of the border). In this part of the state there are two that I know of. Mine and one over in New Pine Creek (south of Lakeview). If you ever get down this way I'd be more than happy to show you mine.

    Nice! And even a video of how it can be lowered by just one person! (With a little help of course.) Thanks!

    Do you have a video of one person raising and lowering your rack system? My concern is that I would not be able to get it back down, without climbing on top of my tent, when I was ready to pack up. I've found several youtub videos of two people raising and lowering rack systems like yours, but...

    You can find examples either way, mostly against. Thing here is that we're not building a hoist to lift a 5k# Tacoma, just lift 150# to 250# 6" to 18". It was just a suggestion of possibility. Yes, a home shop. And I suspect, even in the backwards world of Oregon, the entire system will need to...

    Their aluminum pipe would probably work. If they make two sizes that fit inside one another closely enough.

    I've never seen a vehicle manufacture that recommends driving faster than the posted speed limit. But speedometers show speeds in the 120's-150's. Does that mean the vehicles in question won't surpass 75-90mph? Recommended, or no, I have seen 1/2" PVC consistently under, up to, 300psi. Just...

    Wayne, Do you have any video of raising and lowering the rack? Can it be lowered by just one person? I'm afraid that, if I did something like that I wouldn't be able to lower it by myself. On a side note: If the tail lights you have on the gray trailer are Optronics brand they now make a light...

    Maximum operating pressure for 2", Schedule 40, is around 250psi. If you're only lifting 200#, or even 250#, spread out over four rams, I don't see where the problem would be. It's not like you'd be lifting, and holding up, a vehicle. I know quite a few people running PVC (mostly 1", max op...

    Here is my, so far, experience with my Morris Mule trailer: I received my Morris Mule Trail Grade trailer on 23March2015, just over two weeks time before a planned trip to Death Valley National Park. Plenty of time. Right? The first thing I noticed was that there was no top on the crate...

    Interesting. I hadn't even thought about the rods being an issue with an awning. Currently I have my awning on my sw. That way, if I leave the trailer at a base camp, I've always got shade with me. (Rather important in Death Valley.) However, yesterday I was looking at ways to mount it, or...

    For your bicycle mounting: Check your club members for a couple used Yakima ("LockJaw", "Viper", "8002107", "Forklift", "BOA", "etc") or Thule ("Sidearm", Sprint, "etc"), or whatever off brand roof mount carrier they may have. Throw away the mfg roof rack attaching hardware and bolt the danged...

    In my hunt for the same thing I've run across several interesting methods. None of which I can find pictures of right now. (Of course.) There's a trailer mfg in the Portland, OR, area (can't find the name or photos.) that sells their trailer with an optional lift system that is exhaust driven...

    FYI for anyone with a Morris Mule trailer wanting to add backup lights. (This "may" apply to Ruger trailers also. I don't know what brand lights they use.) Optronics has a new light that incorporates the backup light into the same assembly. That gives you Stop/Tail/Turn and Back up all in one...

    Your “product review” was written more in the form of an attack than a review. That's why people were IMMEDIATELY up in arms over your forum entry. I, for one, have had nothing but the best customer service from MMTC. MMTC markets it as a “rack system”, not a “tent mounting system”. Where...
