Camping trailers - customs - Please post pics!!

Gday Boc - see rig photo's.....my kind of camping trailer......but seriously, looking forward to the real responses as I'm considering some options down the same path as you

Cheers Andrew

gday oz what in mind are looking to do i bought a camper and fitted it with plumbing and 12 volt electrical system my self .have made a lot of gear to fit in the camper so it takes up less space example dunny have a hot water system that we attach to the side when camped.also all our screens can be rolled up and a pair of tables that clip to transport the solar panel mate happy to give you some ideas where do you live or send us your email and i will send you some pics Dags

Just remember to check/beef up the spring mount points as this is often the part that lets most trailers down as they offen tare out of the chassis normally the forward one's first as box trailers normally only have the bent u shape front & the block back & are not wedged Or beef up & hopefully it wont have slipper springs as these will kill anything

Hello Ozboc,

We fitted a 40mm deep tray above the slide out kitchen, really handy for small items that you use all the time or need in a hurry. I can send pics if you are interested.

Hi Ozboc,

I did the following setup as per my rig picks

- Go to trailer builder and get a galvanised heavy duty trailer (mine was approx $2.5K)

- Then go to any of the camper trailer places and get them to put the tent on your trailer (for me this was $6K with everything added on like extra wide, annex and annex walls etc)

- You can get basic bolt on tent over your trailer with staring price at approx $4K

- Then have some fun fitting the water and kitchen etc.

You can end up with a setup a lot cheaper than the prefab units are.

I am not sure if this answers your question, just the way I decided to do my setup

Thanks

Sounds like your not going to have a tent on top if it is fully enclosed. Mine is similar and was built out of an old lighting tower trailer and fully enclosed. Besides beefing up the suspension, i reckon the best thing is the roof rack on top. The rack is 2.2mt long and over hands the front a little bit and has a ladder for access. We can sleep up there if we want to, i can put my roof rack bag there if we need to carry more stuff. Or you can tie stuff on like surfboards etc. And when you camp you can use it t tie tarps, clothe lines etc to it.
