Camper Trailer

Well TFFT !!! Just made it in time..

As you can see, I've made it so I can still use the box trailer as the everyday garden trailer, then drop the box in and off we go

Thanks for looking and will make drawings and material list for others when I get a chance

Cheers,
Paul

Very good job there, nice choice in tow car, I have 1 very similar. How much do ya think the camper setup would weigh? If not too much you could make a lift up boat rack & throw a tinny on top.

Cheers Jake

Looks great... now all you have to do is fill it with camping supplies and head off

Very, very cool.

Just a "Lets go" box, slide and ride. I like it.

Oneday I'd like one I could slide into the ute... Another pipe dream...

The dingy rack is a sweet idea too.

Looks really flash.

You'll get there! I had the same thing with my wagon - now it's a reality. A few things to tidy up, add some bits to help me remove it full of camping gear and it too will be a "drop and go" setup like what Paul has built above

Pretty simple and easy to make.. just need time and patience.. the 2 things I don't have

Hey Jake, Thanks and yeah.. very good tow vehicle, only wished it was Diesel and not V8 Petrol

Not sure of the weight just yet, but I'm guessing it will be around the 150kg mark. I was thinking of making another frame that goes on the outside of the trailer, so I can make a side swing-over tinny.

Done and enjoying it.. loaded to the gunnels and didn't really notice it behind the Canyonero

I like it too.. I think we'll call it the "Let's go box"

I always had dreams of making something similar for my Brumby but never got around to it. I wanted something like the bigger 4WD utes but smaller scale of course.

Dingy rack is in the planning stage

When you getting up here Ken?

Oh and forgot to add this pic...

Update.. Just finished the box for the front of the camper. Somewhere to store the poles and awning walls and floor.

Making the frame

All in place

I really like the way you have done that box, been thinking about one for my (stock standard base model) camper trailer for a while.

Was your ladder up to the bed purchased or constructed? I haven't been able to find a simple light weight option (not that I have spent too long looking).

Thanks purp, I tried to make a simple box but in the end it took so long and headaches that I won't be buiding any more for a while.

The ladder came with the Oztrail tent. I haven't got a pic of mine but here's a link to one off the net...
