My original plan was to order an AluCab but being at camp and having to go into town, move or whatever, I didnt wanna pack up for that. I still think an enclosed cab style overland trailer could be in the future, just not in the cards at the moment.
Overall its a good value for the money but my ARB Simpson 3 has better overall quality and the ARB is slightly easier to set up. The OVS4 does have nicer features (moonroof, shoe bags, more storage pockets and loft storage) but the poles are smaller in diameter. Seems easier to push around when I was simulating wind. Also the front entrance needs to be staked down unlike ARB which does not, so this could be an issue in rocky terrain or gravel camping lots. The biggest thing was the size, we wanted more size and it delivered on that, its huge!
nice little alterations, and the coatings on wood bits are nice, doing great work there my friendTask #34 completed. Mounting for the splitter/hatchet and pick. Also some room for likely the first aid kit or tool bag. Light mounted under to illuminate the box.
No issues there. The trailer dry is almost 1500lbs and the tent is only 170lbs and about 15-20lbs with awning. Loaded the trailer about 1700-1800lbs without water which adds 121lbs at the very bottom. It drives very smooth, no issues at highway speed.
