Converting from onroad to offroad campers

Andrew

I suppose it is as hard as you want to make it.

Apart from the suspension and wheels you may need to strengthen the chassis and drawbar and that may require you to weld RHS cross-members and rails to the chassis. You would need to upgrade the drawbar and fit a Treg etc hitch.

It is not impossible to do, but will it be worth it in the end as the interior of the CT may also need strengthening.?

I would trade it in on an off-road whatever you need as all of the hard work has been put into the design and manufacture of such a unit.

Hi Andrew
Not a hard job to do but one of the bigest priblems is when you raise the camper with larger wheels and susspension the tent may not reach the ground, if you measure from the bottom of the trailer to the ground then add the height of new running gear and see if the tent will reach.
All the best

Why not go along to a yard that sells the offroad model and check out what the differences are. Find out what the changeover would cost. Then go away and do the maths on what it would cost you to upgrade the existing unit. Then you'll know what the best option is.
Perhaps you could mention what make you currently have - may get more specific responses.
Also what exactly does "moderate offroad" mean to you? The more info you provide the more likely you'll be to get the info you're after.

Andrew,

It is not just the suspension that would have to be changed. The interior fittings would also have to be looked at.
