Correct.

Sean, I'm guessing you have to do a homemade title for those?

I bet it comes with a title

 

[Taco Loco]

Correct.

Really?

 

[Silverback]

No title.. its licensed as a kit/homebuilt. They said you would assemble it and take it down to DMV to register as a homebuilt trailer.

Go to 1:15

When you buy a trailer from Harbor Freight do they have a title? I have no idea.

 

[Taco Loco]

Oh ok, make sure it's under 3500lbs iirc or it goes into annual insp sticker

Farm trailer, no regerister, place orange triangle on back and your good togo

 

[Silverback]

Oh it better be under 3500 lbs. I have a lot of crap but hopefully not that much. I was told the kit with rims and tires weighs 1300 lbs... but that was with the metal "crate" it comes in. I'm hoping to be well under 2000 fully loaded with all gear, RTT, fuel and water.

How its delivered.

 

[Taco Loco]

Looks like a roll around work table conversion after you remove trailer parts

 

[Silverback]

Yeah its an interesting shipping option.

My guess is those are all trailer parts with duel uses. Needed to keep packaging lean when shipping via the slow boat from the west. I see that allot with imports. You should see how they package the glass we get from overseas. Sometimes it takes days to unload a single container.

I saw a photo (can't find it now) of the shipping "crate" after the trailer was built and the outer "exo" was still there. So it may serve a purpose to turn it into a work bench.

I give props to people who are good at logistics. Takes a good mind to cut costs for shipping while maintaining quality and making it easy for the customer to DIY the assembly all thw while keeping the products unharmed.

On the DL China has been shipping bogus products on "disposable skids" they made out of high cost alloys that should of gotten a tariff thrown on top of their costs. Once here they melted them down and turned them into products. That went on for years until someone caught them. Now the US is suing them and I suspect they will tell us to stick it where the sun don't shine

CVT Mt Rainier Extended Stargazer Summit in gray is on the Group Buy listing now. Now to just get it all going, pay for it and get it delivered. Didn't order an awning yet, figure I'll get it and see how it goes and figure that part out later. Plus I spent enough money in the past 2 weeks.. shit.

I'll say it again, if you aren't camping for longer than 2 days, the awning isn't worth it. PIA to setup and pack up.

 

[Silverback]

I hear ya.. I'll probably only set it up when the family is with me to allow them some privacy. I can't wait to get all this going.

 

[Mitt78]

I think we needed a bigger camping spot.

 

[tx_shooter]

Where are y'all at? @Mitt78

 

[Mitt78]

Mission Tejas State Park its on the north edge of the Corckett National Forest

I liked the latch on the door

 

[Silverback]

Hmm..
