I feel tired just looking at all that great work! The pictures are great and that helps me see the differences on our suspensions. Is that the Mor-Ryde design?

I am gearing up to be more productive, but I have been working from home (teaching from the Avion actually) so I have been way busier during this Stay at Hone thing than expected. Supporting 5 in the household at present.

Great work and good choice for the Mission Creep.

Looking good. I noticed you put Reflectix under your tank. What’s your opinion on foam board vs Reflectix in that area?

As you can see, the Reflectix is taped to the grey water tank. The Reflectix being thin, it runs under the two U channel braces and the two 2" cross beams that span the frame. While foam board may have worked just fine here, the issue that my frame/grey water tank presented me was a narrow clearance between the tank and the cross frame supports.

I WISH it was a MOR-ryde. Nope, just stock.
And thank you for the compliment.

so, it's been a bit since I posted here. Took some time to work on the trailer this week. Rain held me up some,
but I managed to get a fair amount done.

POR 15 on the frame. The trouble spots on mine were forward, around the frame up front.
The belly pans are set to go on, I just got rained out - twice.
New Springs, new Shocks and an EZ flex system are all on site. I wasn't up for installing torsion axles.

Looks great! That picture of the axles is with a thousand words on how that suspension design works. Glad you are able to get all this work done these days ... I am using my Avion every day in the driveway as my office and use the shower most days after I bike, but I haven’t tackled anything this ambitious lately.
