Hi, Im Jarrod from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Ive been lurking through the site for a week. I have just prchased a trailer. I am planning to create a camper on her. I have about 8 diffrent plans drawnout, But winter is here. I will be building outside so she'll wait till march or so... But procuring essential information has just begun. I greatly appreciate any and all advice or insights brought to me. Does anyone know of a good free design/sketch program? Hello to all!

Welcome. Eight plans and a long winter. You'll drive yourself crazy. And enjoy every minute.

There are several threads and stickys on CAD programs. Someone else will have to give you advice on those.

Give it time . . . .soon you will be planning #2 and thinking about #3

I, have been looking at all of your great trailers and planning my own. I figure I can get away with 12v only. I was wondering if car audio fuses and wiring would be decent? And maybe a car fusebox for my smaller electronics? Also how much trailer/weight should sit forward of the wheels? Im towing with a 92 honda accord. its weight limit is 1000lbs. Its a 4cyl auto. Also has anyone done a "Fast and furious" style trailer? Thanks.
Let the build begin

Hi unforgiven. Welcome to the site. Nice weather eh? I'm stripping my trailer now. getting my measurements for the frame. I'm stuck on the profile of her though... its going to be me an my two kids using it. So I'm leaning toward a grasshopper/weekender type style... Oh the choices. I can't wait till spring lol.
