It's actually a cool trailer. Has a BBQ too, which makes an excellent rib eye (on the bone). Overall they are built well, but on the downside:
Much of the low paying detail work was jacked up on this trailer. I ended up redoing a lot of it, because the service center where I bought it from is incompetent, to say the least.
Cheap shower hoses that crack at the plastic connections under little pressure. These hoses are quite common. They're bisque color, and don't buy them. The outdoor shower leaked at the connection, and that will flood the inside of this trailer. I found a good hose (white with metal connection), and used a coupler to connect it to a common sprayer with hose for the kitchen sink. It provides a FAR better spray and it's much easier to handle. Plus if it breaks, you can buy one at any hardware store for $8. Oh yeah, their $20 sprayer broke too. The sprayer is also common (threads break).
I had to laugh at the salesman in that video, because he's talking about "jacking up a 3k trailer" by hand. They're stabilizer jacks. At any rate, one failed on the first trip (partially my bad), so they sent me a new one and I took them off of the trailer. A drill is 10x faster and trouble free.
My leg fell through the top step (ha) and it hurt. I made a simple platform for it. It works great and doesn't need to be attached, it just lays there. Great for dogs.
I sold the mattress for $10. It wasn't worth the plastic it came in.
I'd like to figure out a way to build doors onto the storage box under the bed. And build shelves into the two closets around the bed. As the closets sit they're a pain in the arsch and a true waste of space.
You cannot access the fridge (bummer) with the slider is closed. And unless you're skinny (like me), you cannot access the bathroom with the slider closed.
Incidentally, nice set up smkettner "you could charge 50% batteries within an hour"
