Ok, so time for some decisions... should I keep either of the slideout bunks (front is very long... maybe 5 feet; back is shorter... maybe 4 feet long)? Considered keeping back as a lay-flat wing rack but now thinking a rack up in the pop-up top is a better idea and these things are just going to be in the way so maybe get rid of them??? Also, what to do about the brakes. I think this thing has electric brakes but I'm hoping I don't really need them by the time I get rid of a lot of weight inside the box (must have pulled 2-300lbs or more out today, plus lost all the canvas, plus if I get rid of pullouts...) Probably 500-700lbs lighter when I'm done?? Plus I don't know what shape they are in and don't have the Explorer wired to handle them yet... Any thoughts?? I'll post pics and comments on the right side when I start there and on the slideouts when/if they go.
I see you've been VERY busy! I like the wing rack in the top idea better than keeping the slideouts. It's easy to think of also having the slideouts being used as a work table, but, you'll have a cabinet top available for that.
You won't need the electric brakes either since the loaded trailer will be relatively light.
