    Default My new Offroad Trailer, CHILE

    Hi guys, this is my first post here. Thanks for all the usefull information.
    This friday IŽll depart to the north of Chile for a 8 day expedition through the beaches (very similar to Baja California).
    The last month I have been modifiying a cargo trailer into an off road unit.
    It came out very nice, we will see if it performs ok. I still need to change the hitch.
    IŽll keep you posted on the expedition.

    Sebastian.

    Default Congrats...

    Hey - congrats on a well thought out trailer - I like the flip top plus tailgate arrangement. What are your plans for the telescoping poles on the side?

    Look forward to photos of your trip...

    Thanks
    Suport for the awning. Probably IŽll bolt them lower. ( the poles are retractable)

    Wow, that's a nice trailer! When you get back maybe you can do a quick writeup on the basics. I'm going to be in need of a good trailer soon, and the commercial options are tooo pricey. How much do you have in that one?

    Well itŽs difficult to compare prices since we are in different countries, anyway, originally this was a Aussie cargo trailer imported to Chile by a trailer company. I paid usd 1200 per the trailer and I had "invested" around usd 1000more in the modification....
