Looks great! I like the spare carrier. Are you gonna use struts on the lid?

Man, thats awesome! How big is the fuel cell?
Tent is super badass too.

Only thing I would have added myself were 1-2 deep cycle batteries, LED camp lights in the tent and on the trailer, and a solar panel. Trailer looks expensive though, maybe an eventual upgrade

The fuel cell is a 15 gl. tank. I wired in an electric fuel pump. Its a 30 gl. per hour pump and I wired it into the trailer wiring.
The overall cost with everything is about $5000.00

I like the idea of having a solar panel and a deep cycle battery to power camp lights.

I dont have as nice of a camping rig, but I do have plans to make a portable power station for camp lights, camp stereo, air pumps, etc. Have some sort of standard plug for it all to make hooking stuff up easier. And eventually a 120w or larger solar panel so I can go off the grid longer.

Using these lights with some DIY magnetic or clamp mounts:

And a nice portable battery box like this:

Is the fuel cell for extra gas for your rig or generator? Where is the filler located?
