i'm just about to start drafting up my Box Trailer to suit my specifications.needs/wants etc.! It will be used when i go on weekend/week long holidays mainly to carry all the camping gear.. It has to be sturdy enough to go off-road and on the beach (Stocko) etc. I'd like it to be as light as possible, but also sturdy for obvious reasons!..
would be interested to hear of anyone else has built their 'own' customized trailer in regards to sizes, mounting of spare wheel?, water tanks?.. gas bottle holders?... etc etc..
thanks in advance....
MoZzA.

Mozza

I bought a heavy duty 7 x 4 box trailer from Terrace Trailers as I couldn't build one for the price they sell 'em for. $699 + on road

They changed the spring to ontop of the axle.

I Changed the hubs to 6 stud - Supercheap $75

I put a set of second hand sunrasias with half worn tyres Kotara 4x4 spares $60

Got a spare off the brother for FREE

Built a water tank 25 litre from a 150mm ss tube 1200 long and bolted it across the front.

Bought a Drifta kitchen to slide in one side $850

Filled it with all the camp gear $$$$$$

Tows & goes like a dream anywhere rough and smooth tops
