Building a Camper Trailer

The dimensions are up to you, the tent manufacturer will build the top to suit, if you are going to put a pre-built Chinese top on, Oztrail or similar, then you would need to check the required dimensions with the supplier.

hi

I just finished my ct the sides on mine are 450mm you need to take into account wheel size and suspension also how much weight it will carry.My finished and fully loaded height is 1030mm. now i cant wait to take it out.
have fun making it;)

I would check the dimensions with the local authorities.
Last time I registered my 6x4 John Papas trailer they were particuarly careful measuring it in regards to the drawbar(which was factory stock)

Hows it going ,

Just got through doing the same thing , I got a trailer made ( 99% sure it 7 x 4 ) useing the same wheels and ride hieght as the Patrol

I got a chinese tent off ebay , Xtrail , and am really happy with it .
they just come in a standard size , my one fits exactly lengthwise and hangs over a little at the edges , because I used patrol wheels the gaurds had to be a little wider but this is a good thing cause it makes them wider than the tent .

All the dimentions /requirements of the tents are on their ebay ad.
I mounted the tent permanently to the trailer ( no tilt ) and have full length sliding draws out the back .

Also have 12v power and a water tank.

Good luck .
