Last summer I discovered that my original donor trailer just wasn't going to work, but the rotting pop-up trailer we used until last year, has the perfect axle width, has a title, and is paid for. It was something like 14' long... but I have tools to cut it down
Problem is when I placed the cabin right where it says it should go according to the plans http://www.angib.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/t ... tear27.htm , the tongue should be 4' from the first crossmember (front floor). I'm at 6' 3".
I know my galley is going to carry most of the weight. I'll load the gear over the axle as much as possible. But what will a longer tongue do to my tongue weight??
Here is the cabin on the frame:
Axle is right where it should be:
I had to cut the front off of the frame because the old camper was a couple feet farther forward (had to cut a few feet off the back too). I will box this in soon before it leaves the garage:
And finally, the tongue... The bottle mounts will be removed as will the winch to raise the old top. I still have to go through the surge brakes.
