Most on here have big trailers for total comfort for their whole crowd of helpers. 🤣 Ah, the truth comes out. This explains it. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Queen size bed. storage and work bench on the back end and cabinets inside" That looks like it works out quite well for your purposes. Very nice. Mine will be smaller. Cabinets are nice. The plans I have show how to make slat shelves (cabinets lol) light ones though, on one side, drop in floor (there is a reason for this madness), etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use a deep cell battery and with Led it lasts about a week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saving up for the first part (Harbor Freight flatbed trailer & body of camper). the only problem with the harbor freight trailer was the weight tolerance. I thought about that when I started and decide to find an old flatbed trailer on craigslist that I could modify and increase leaf springs to handle more weight just fyi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought about that when I started and decide to find an old flatbed trailer on craigslist that I could modify and increase leaf springs to handle more weight just fyi When I get to the aluminum I may ask about where to get them. Everything is a little bit more expensive right now. Didn't think about Craigslist. All I need is a 4x8 flatbed. I know of a company that makes aluminum trailers specially built for their teardrop campers/kits. Backordered so they take about 5 months to deliver. Didn't check the price but their teardrop kits are out of my price range. Of course, building one may end more expensive in the long run but...at least it will be tailored made to my specs. And, I can take my time. lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
