Would you do the knobby tires (like on Hood Rivers) or just regular 15 inch tires?

Living in Michigan, with the "highways" that they have up there, I'd go with knobby tires.

Any one have an idea of what weight capacity there is for adding accessories to the tounge area. Weight distribution system, spare tire, 2 bbatteries, dual propane. Looking to add a shelf for the generator.

I really like the curtains on the bunks!
More info, please, on the spare tire carrier & the bracket on the tongue next to it. What is that for??

As far as the tire carrier, I built a new mount for the tire, the tire can swing to the front using a pin so you can remove the gas tank upward.

The bracket on the tongue is for my Goal Zero solar panel, I have a 4 Boulder solar panel that I can connect together, each panel has a 30 watts output.

Very cool. We have an 80 watt Zamp that we use. I'd like to see detailed pictures of the spare tire carrier. That would free up the back for a smoker carrier....

I will take some photo tomorrow and post it here. It was a great idea to move the tire to the tongue because i was able to mount all 4 of my bicycles.
