My "Cheapo" trailer build

[dumprat]

I have been fooling with the idea of building a camp traile for a while. I have been off work lately and had the time and no money so I got started on it with what I had around.

I had the steel for the main frame and the hitch I bought for my Combi camp upgrade that didn't happen. I used a box liner from a ford pick up at the local auto wrecker and some cheap jeep syle tailights. The front box I have had for years. The fender flares were $20 and the tires I got from my father.http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s204/dumprat/HPIM2566.jpg

I plan to do the floor in aluminum and build a pull out cupboard and cooking area, but that will have to wait till I have the cash. I have the doors and sink I just need to buy the aluminum for the floor and get a piece formed for the counter. I am going to mount a water tank above the axle and a small box in front of the big one for a BBQ and tank. I am also going to mount a fire extinguisher on the front. I want to get a custom tent sewn up for it but that will depend on what it will cost. I may end up with a standard RTT on top. I have under $400 invested so far.

Ya. You might see it in you neck of the woods soon. Moving to the island next week. That is why the temp plywood floor. Hopefully I will get some time to work on it once I am there.

Towed it 400KMs yesterday and it worked great. No sway and towed nice and flat and felt light behind the jeep(It is light) even loaded to the gills. I have a bunch of stuff left to do but that will have to wait till after I move.
