From Avg camper to ATT?

[Funrover]

Well I realize it won't be an actual ATT but I am taking my old camper, a 1971 Cox Conestoga, and making it more off road friendly. I take it off-road on light trails but want to do harder trails with it! So here are my plans!

WHAT I WANT TO DO:
1. Found another Rover axle, 4 rims and 30" tires
2. putting my old OME springs/shocks on
3. Flat water storage placed above axle... hoping for 15 gal.
4. Lock and Roll Hitch System
5. A 2 spare tire carrier
6. L.E.D. Lighting
7. Extend the tounge
8. Jerry Can holders

Here is my camper now

So I am up for any suggestions, hints!

THANKS!

Haven't forgotten you.
Think I have a lead on a part that will work for you.

AWSOME!!!!:wings:

so what would be a better idea, for me to build it up with coils or with leaf packs? I think it would be better coiled IMO!! But I know there are drawbacks!

You may want to strengthen everything inside as well, cabinets, wall panels ect. We had a coleman popup and I had the axle flipped to give it a 4" lift. It was able to go more places without scraping but things started to come apart inside as the whole body shifted around.

Already done, rebuilt all of that about 2 years ago!!
