So here is where the questions and your opinions come in.
I would love to have a camper for the winter camping skiing etc. Ideally id love a hard sided camper. So I've been thinking of converting a enclosed cargo trailer to have some basic camping things. Bed heater a couple cabinets etc, would like to throw some bigger tires and a brake axle under it. But then it starts to get really tall which makes it a gas eater. Not gonna do any hardcore trails with it so im not too concerned with the top heavyness. i woukld use a 6x12
that brings me to my next idea. Build a new utility trailer and add a fwc type truck slide in too it for camping.
do you guys think a cargo trailer will be though enough to handle rough roads? Im trying to do a low cost and as light as possible. Guess I just want your opinions on my ideas. I can always just build my own but the cargo just seemed like an easier starting point.
here is the current trailer
probably 5-600 lbs, angle iron and plywood, built in 1962, a couple welds have cracked (only on the walls, the frame and spring hangers etc look good), appears to have a home make axle made from who knows what. its making me a bit nervous putt 10k of dirtbikes in it and doing 60 on the freeway.
this is what id like, sort of, fold down bed, little galley in the font, but dirtbikes still fit.

Do you guys with CTC's think they would hold together with roung dirt road use? ideally id do a small lift to run larger tires and shocks to help with the off road factor.
TIA
im trying to come up with the perfect trailer so these are still ideas....
, but they are dirt cheap, dual axle, built to take dirt roads all day with a very heavy load. Some of those are made kind of like toy haulers. Space for horses and a place to sleep. I know they are not the lightest trailers around, but that would give you two, 3k lb axles, room to sleep, light tongue weight......
