Well finally started my build, i bought an old trailer tent for the chassis & have made a couple of changes to it, I have the floor & sides cut out so hopefully i will soon start to assemble it.

Will post pics soon

Very nice! That camper frame was a nice find. Keep posting pictures.

looks like a torsion axle and everthing! :thumbsup:

The chassis was a good buy, the bearings are ok the indispension units are as good as new, i have had to extend the axle as the chassis is 3ft wide & my floor is 4ft so the wheels were too close, i also replaced the hitch.

I will hopefully post some pics of the finished chassis soon.

Whinge,

I'm a complete "newb" to this and am in the process of hunting a trailer to use as a base for the camper...

what size is that trailer?

Thanks,
Barry

that makes 2 newb's then !. the size of the trailer chassis is 6 foot x 3 foot
as my floor size is 6' 6" x 4', so i am using 3/4" ply for the floor to make sure it will be strong enough where it overhangs the chassis.

like i said i am also new to this so time will tell if it works out ok,

Well got the chassis finished during the week, also the floor so its time to start on the rest of the build, weather permitting !

i have a few more things to finish marking up on the walls, once thats done they will be ready to attach.

Well the project is starting to take shape, i am not bothering with the kitchen as i will only be using it for bike rallies so i prefer to have as much space inside as possible.
New pics in album

i have started on the storage side of things inside & i'm toying with the idea of a single raised bed as i will be using it just for myself, anyone got any ideas on this ?
