Don't cheat on the frame, for off road use 2X2X1/8 Yes its over built but your safe. Another thing with the thick tube steel, flexing will be down. With flexing down you can make your 10' plywood. Just the money saved from that will pay for the extra steel.

Happy Trails

My frame was built for off-road. It is sturdy. Check out my photos.

The quintiscential off-road teardrop is probably Larry and Diane's Outback Teardrop. They have a page describing their chassis, including their plans.
