Overland off-road trailer build

[wdieck]

Hello everyone. I have started a new build and thought I would share. I will update this and my YouTube as I go along.

Here are some pics of the design:

I like it! Should be a good rig for off the road stuff. Nice design with lots of interior volume.

This looks like a nice way to adjust; When that 60/40 theory just won't work.
Drill 5 holes and move as needed

Nice build. TL

Good idea...hope I don't need to though since the wheel well will be built into the cabin

Hello!

I'm new to this forum and camper building, but really enjoying your build so far.

Would you mind posting your google SketchUp files?

Also, what do you expect the final weight of your trailer to be?

I am still working on the design but I will post up when I am done.

I think I will end up around 1500 lbs
