New trailer rig, Obi Dweller 13

[Josh00333]

Just put $ down on a new rig, Obi Dweller 13 2022.

Think is new, little dusty from sitting around but looks fantastic in two walk arounds.

4700 dry
5800 gvwr
600 tongue once loaded, guessing.
6'8" wide
8" tall on the road
13' box when closed
19" loa when opened up
50 gal water
20 gal gray

Smaller than my last trailer, defiantly lighter, which is a good thing. Loved my last rig but it crept in weight to max everything. My wants have changed to more exploring and boon docking, want to do back roads two track exploring my "regular" trailer just couldn't/wouldn't do.

This gets me smaller, lighter while still having a true shower (and out door shower) bath, refer, out door kitchen, full awning, propane heat, hot water, AC, 300 watt solar, 3 house batts. I'm looking forward to it!

Very cool. Is that a McHitch on the tongue?

Yes, I’ve never used one but read they are good. We’ll see how it works! I’ll report back after a trip or two.

Wow! Nice! Do you have a pic of the floor plan?

 

[Josh00333]

You’re looking at it, it’s pretty small.

I don't even camp or overland, but that thing is SEXY!

I was watching the videos about it, and I know nothing about these things, but it seems to me that a brake regen system tied to the onboard batteries would be kind of cool. Either that or a low resistance generator powered by a shaft connected to a differential in the axle assembly somehow.

That’s impressive. I don’t know that I could pull that much weight with mine.

Just cuz you can doesn’t mean you should LOL.

I’d want more clearance. That’s pushing it.

I have a D-13 I pull with my Mojave. I'd suggest doing the Monroe shock upgrade, I also added a new solar charger with MPPT and a DC to DC conversion so I can charge my camper batteries with the Jeep rather than hauling a generator around on cloudy weekends. Congrats on the purchase, I love mine.

I have a D13. Pulling with a 2020 max tow 2.5" MC lift with Airlift airbags. Trailer Upgrades in order.
1. Monroe Shocks
2. New FeLion batteries, Installed Battery monitor.
3. Ark 750 Jockey wheel
4. Ark Corner Steadies
5. Replaced Triangle A/T with Rocky Mountain A/T's. (The stock tires blow out!)

The trailer looks cool paired with a gladiator, but the truck will work hard to get there.

The Monroe shocks are top of the list, for couple hundred bucks seem like a good option. Tires will be replaced soon also.

What hitch are you guys running? If the McHitch, Rocha what drop did you use? Got a picture of your set up?

 

[DesertGladiator]

I have the McHitch and run airbags on the Gladiator. Rides level and I'm running 37's.

Super cool rig, and amazingly capable per the video. I had no idea you could yank a comfortable camp trailer up something like that.
