Hey there. So I just bought a smittybilt scout as well. I just got it put together. No mods as of yet. I was wondering if those boxes you have above the wheel wells, are those from Smittybilt too? Did you just order two more like the one that is on the tongue? And the 30 gallon water tank, can you link to that too? Did you build a custom box around the water tank? And man, yours looks great. Hoping to do similar. Oh, and the tire holder in the back, where did you get that?
Awesome setup man! I’d really love a full product list of all your aftermarket upgrades, like the tire carrier and the storage boxes you added above the wheel wells.
Hello Nate, my name is Skipton, dude this trailer is awesome!!!!!! Has anyone ask you to help them build there trailer like yours, i like the set up , would you help??? Maybe you can charge a fee???
hey bud, thanks for making this video! I found the same slide out draw organizer you have. Did you have to customize your own height for the upper drawer? Seems like I might need to relocate it down about 1 to 1.5” to clear the door frame. If you could provide the appox distance down from the lowest set of tapped holes and how you attached it (looks like pop rivet? Thanks from Texas !!🤝
Hey there! Thanks for the question. I did indeed need to relocate my top drawer to get it to fit properly. I did use rivnuts on the back wall and on the sides for the new drawer height. I’ll check out your channel. I love seeing other builds and the creativity people have. Hey from South Carolina 🌴
Very nice, I am looking at one myself. I really like the boxes you added over the fenders, did you say you built them yourself, or did you modify something for those?
How do you vent your water heater when using it? I take it no hot water Pune faucet for your dishes? If you leave the back door open what do you do when it’s raining?
I have a switch on the water heater so it does not cut on unless I turn it on. The back door needs to be open to vent. The sink faucet has hot water, as does the quick connect for the shower. I can even plug a hose in for hot water if I want to. I have a 270 awning not shown in this video that is usually deployed in case of rain, however, rain won’t hurt the water heater.
Kudos on a first rate build, Nate. Really looking forward to your follow up video of the additional work. Would you mind sharing more details about the 30gal water tank? Manufacturer or source? Thanks!
Class A Customs | One (1) RV Fresh and Gray Water 30 Gallon Tank | T-3000 a.co/d/5h9uobJ Thank you! I’ll hope to post some follow up videos soon. The tank is from Amazon. Here is the link.
It’s on stainless steel heavy duty drawer sliders. Took a while to design.. I would likely do it differently if I did it again but I already had the 100w panel so I went with it.
Nice! I wonder, how does it tow? I was thinking that the water tank should be closer to your axle point for weight distribution, I guess you have enough weight in the back?
