A front mounted bike rack was added to the trailer this year(2020). Work great carries two bikes!
Bumper was also replaced. old bumper was the hollow sewer style. Rust had got the better of it so it was removed and a new steel bumper added.
Customization
New dometic Refrigerator (from Amazon). New 500 Amp hour battery was added and the electrical system updated. I also added a solar panel so camping off grid is easier. I also made room under the front bunk for a portable toilet. Just a small cassette toilet but it works great.
I can run for a week off grid - no problem. Two with solar panels connected. 3-way fridge will run for 2 of three days depending on outside temperature on battery but I typically use propane. I have two tanks and they typically last all summer - ruffly about a month or two camping.
Renovations
Added a few cupboards and a new 3-way refrigerator. not bad at all. Thanks keithfwhite for your advise. very helpful.
The cupboards at the rear over the table / bed work fantastic for storing sleeping bag and pillows.
Other Information
Camping - once the site is set up it is Crown time!
Tow Vehicle
2013 Hyundai Tucson LE
2.4 Litre four cylinder (147 cubic inch displacement)
Tow rating / capacity = 2,000 lbs
I have not had any trouble towing the trailer with my Hyundai. The transmission is geared very well for handling a load of this type. I have not had any issues on back roads or hi-ways to date.
I towed the surfer through Hockley Valley this summer and I did not have any trouble with the steep grades. The Tucson easily handled going up the grade as well as down.
