The Explorer Box Camping Trailer Plans
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2008 10:11 amI know, it isn't a Teardrop shape, but it is compact, lightweight and perfect for owners of smaller fuel-efficient vehicles that enjoy camping and outdoor adventures. Compact Camping Concept’s “Explorer Box” can be built as a Gear Hauler or a Tent Topped camper.
An Explorer Box is the perfect blend of compact size and room for all your camping essentials. Its design is inspired by the simplicity of vintage tent trailers and at under 400 pounds(Tent Topped version) can be tow by almost any vehicle. It’s a rolling camp box of sorts. It has a kitchen / galley area on the front that includes organized, shelved storage compartments and counter space. In the rear is a large general storage compartment for bulkier items and storage containers. On top is mounted a tent unit for sleeping which can be used without loading of the trailer.
However, it’s more than just a compact trailer; it’s about a simple and “unplugged” way of camping. It is a step back in time to when tent trailer’s focused on the basics, such as a dry roof over your head for sleeping. It is for people who go camping to leave the normal hustle and bustle of life at home and take advantage of the soothing, relaxing and recharging effects a few days in nature has upon the mind and body. It’s about enjoying simple pleasures. Such as, a sunset over the lake, catching sight of a shooting star, smores or scary ghost stories by the campfire. I have to admit, I just don’t get pulling up in a beastly RV, coming out to setup your satellite dish, and then disappear inside to eat your microwave dinner.
The 85 page, lay flat spiral bound DIY construction manual includes:
- General building notes
- Complete material list
- Tools necessary list
- Step-by-step building guide
- Detailed drawings and photos for each step
- Plywood sheet cutout maps
