The scale... 

[matap]

Oh ok.  I get it now.  I was actually using that scale as I was assembling the trailer frame and body.  Weighing each part individually and writing it down.  My very close estimated weight on the trailer is between 175-185 lbs.  Which was my target.  Max weight I'll be putting inside is an additional 75-85 lbs maybe.  that's basically the dogs and misc stuff that is designed for backpacking so it's lightweight.

Last night I starting with the wiring of the wireless WIFI camera.  Basically it's just a small rear view car camera.  smaller footprint than a tic tac box.  It's wired so that even when the bike is off I can still leave the camera running and of course it has a switch to turn it off.  Here is a screenshot.  the arrow is the just the apps back button to the main menu.  it's angled because it's not mounted yet.  I was just checking all the wiring and functionality of it.

I can't wait to see the video of your dogs getting air in that thing.

You have no faith............This suspension was designed for trailers this light.  Check out road dawg trailers.  No bounce down the highway and my trailer is a little heavier than what they have.

So I finished the trailer last week and have been taking the pups everyday except Wednesday for a ride.  They seem to be taking a liking to it or at least they are not contesting it.    Yesterday, I took, sans dogs, the trailer on a speed test.  I had already been up to speeds of 40 mph around town but it was time to bump it up a little.  So I ventured out to the great beyond....I-10 and just increased my speeds in increments of 10 mph all the way to ..........................75 mph sustained and it tracked true and straight.  I don't really see myself going more that 70 but I wanted to test it out. 

Anyways, I will post pictures soon enough or you may just have to wait until BBT to see it in person.  I'm waiting on a drone I ordered to get some cool aerial shots and then I want to put together a short video from start to finish.

Do you have one of those drones with a sport mode that follows you around?

Do you have one of those drones with a sport mode that follows you around?

Yes. I will.  I should have it delivered in a couple days.  I bought a DJI Mavic Pro.  has all those features plus some.

Hey Paul, saw several pics and a video (on FB) of you in Sattler this weekend towing Pupley and Penelope.  Wish we had known, we would have loved to see your set up.

Where did you see the video?  Yeah I meant to call you guys but with us being all over the place and seriously limited internet and phone service I just got frustrated trying to do anything on my phone.  I will definitely have it with me during BBT
