if I'm gonna build.
I'm a noob around here. I have bad shoulders (sometimes can barely use right arm, both hurt 24/7) that exclude me from sleeping on the ground and a wife that is pretty iffy on tent camping in general. No more motorcycle camping for me, just motels.
We want to travel on highway, secondary roads, country roads and forest service roads. Won't be 4 wheeling/rock crawling. Towing with an old Toyota truck. (22re)
So, I'm thinking I want a smallish trailer for camping. Something along the lines of a Heilite or maybe the Compact Camping Concepts explorer with a M.O.A.B.
The main questions I'm trying to work out:
I've been surfing here for a while but haven't been able to figure out these items, particularly 2 & 3.
Thanks guys!

The main questions I'm trying to work out:
- Buy a trailer to build on or have a buddy weld one up. Like harbor freight/craigslist special.
- What kind of suspension? Will it even matter for my needs? Leaf, torsion, Timbren axleless?
- If I were to make something kind of like a Heilite, 3/4 plywood or maybe a box of steel studs skinned by thinner plywood?
