I'm installing a stronger bumper on the RV to pull a second trailer behind the RV. The bumper that came on this RV was only 1/8" single layer of steel rather than the standard 4" square tubing used on most RV's which typically doubles as black tank hose storage.

Looking to build a generator rack on our trailer and found this video first. I'm in 2C as well, that's funny.

Man that bumper is 10x better then what you had. Cool video!

Oh man! Yeah, way better than the old one! I was nervous with the KLR back there with the old bumper... now I feel so much better about it. haha

Awesome! Nothing like getting to camp and your bike is MIA :( Also I am trying a new app called Back Country Navigator. You can down load the map for off line use. Also it lets you export it as a GPX file. I'm going to try something like you did on map rock road.

Oh man! I couldn't imagine walking behind my camper and finding the entire trailer is not there anymore haha... that would be a sinking sick feeling wouldn't it? If that navigator program tracks your movement in a GPX file like this old garmin I have does then you'll be able to export that "track" and overlay it on your gopro footage using Virb Edit... I should make a how to video on how exactly I do that.

+LowlySteward so I have the verb software and laid my gpx file on the go pro video. I have it all synchronize but I noticed that sometime the speed doesn't line up. I wonder if that because it shows me like 40 foot off the trail. like gps skewed?
@IdahoDualSport
@IdahoDualSport 8 лет назад
+Piston Slap Yeah, I haven't seen anyone get it exactly perfect either. It shows me doing 3mph when I'm stopped etc... It shouldn't be too far off but I haven't seen it perfect.

I need to build a receiver hitch for my trailer as well, but part of me says it is a waste in Oklahoma to pull doubles legally one has to be a fifth wheel and then you are good to go with the second one being a bumper pull. But i still may end up doing one.
@IdahoDualSport
@IdahoDualSport 8 лет назад
That doesn't really make any sense that it has to be a fifth wheel + bumper pull rather than bumper + bumper.. in Idaho we can triple tow bumper+bumper+bumper so I could legally pull something behind that trailer like a boat or something if I wanted to... it's crazy! I've only seen one person ever do it and he was pulling like a 26' camper, and then a flatbed trailer with 4 quads on it and a fishing boat behind that haha
@Heartlanddualsport
@Heartlanddualsport 8 лет назад
heheh, no telling but that is what i understand to be legal here. heheh thats awesome, he has way more money for toys than i do. heheheh

Why did you clamp the receiver on instead of welding it? I just did the same thing to my trailer but I welded the receiver on.

Nice job. Did you use a flex core welder to make your welds? And are you an experienced welder. Thinking of picking up a Flex Core Welder and start welding. So I’ll be a beginner.

What exactly do you pull behind your camper and has it done ok? I'm wanting to pull a 5x8 trailer with my golf cart on it. Thanks

I used to pull a 5x8 trailer with a 550lb motorcycle on it. It did great!

Did the standard bumper plugs fit in there (i.e. so you could stow a sewer hose)? It looks like the replacement bumpers on Amazon are only 14 gauge, so I wonder. Great video, thanks!

Doing the same to my Jayco 10y this week. 2 bikes on the deck and its full, so I want to haul a 3 on the rear or tow my boat to the lake behind the Jayco. Placed an order for 1/8th 4in square tube, then found your video! How's it all holding up so far after 3yrs? By the way.......I'm a former 2C resident, myself.

I actually don't have that trailer any more but that whole setup held up great. I never towed over 1500 lbs with it. That trailer frame was only 2x4 but if you've got I-Beam or a bigger trailer frame I would feel safe towing up to 3k.
@Beardedplumber
@Beardedplumber 7 лет назад
Nice work look nice How much weight do you think that can hold if Would do something like that ?
@IdahoDualSport
@IdahoDualSport 7 лет назад
I probably wouldn't put more than 500lbs on it.

Did you get a free milk crate with that?

Nice video! Does your sewer hose still fit inside? If not, where do you store that?
@IdahoDualSport
@IdahoDualSport 7 лет назад
Yes a sewer hose will fit inside :)

Quick question. I will be replacing my damaged number soon. What paint and prep did you use? This looks like the finish that comes on trailers from the factory. Great job! Thanks for any info
@IdahoDualSport
@IdahoDualSport 7 лет назад
Thank you! I just used a Sanding Flap Disc Grinding Wheel to sand everything down and then painted it with some Krylon ColorMaster Paint + Primer. It's still looking good almost a year later after being out in a pretty harsh winter so it's holding up good.

+LowlySteward is that Krylon flat black?
