I was too slow to post progress as I built my trailer, but wanted to share the finished product since most of my ideas came from this fine forum. This was my first welding project and I learned a lot! Thank you to all the talented people who post here, so numskulls like me can look cool! :):)

I bought a couple 11 lbs tanks, but they look pretty big on my trailer and will be a tight fit mounted on the side. I am wondering if it is overkill anyway. I will be running a grill and 2 burner stove top off one and probably a propane fire pit off the other one. Most trips will be weekend...

The frame is complete in my build...now I need to build the side walls and put down a floor. What gauge did you use for the floor and sidewalls? Would you do anything different next time? Thanks for any help!

I am building an off road trailer...SLOWLY and need to start thinking about the height of the sides of the trailer. I have been thinking 24 inches plus another 1-2 inches for the top. What height did you make yours and are you happy with it? Would you change anything? My trailer will be...

I have seen both...any benefit to one over the other? Random thoughts... The front mount (on tongue, against trailer box) would increase tongue weight, but easier (less work) for me to do. I also plan on a storage box up front also. I assume you would just adjust your trailer load to...

Hi all, looking for what the title says. I found a couple online, but wanted to see if anyone had a recommendation for a particular light. Not looking to spend more than a hundred on this. I want it to put on my truck to help set up camp at night. Thanks!

I am finally about to start my off road trailer build. I originally planned to have a removable tongue for storage purposes, but I remember reading some downsides to that plan on this site. Can't find anything using the search box. What are your opinions? Thanks

I want to build my trailer tongue so I can use a removable lunette ring that can be inserted into the tongue of the trailer. What size square tube will accept the 2" shaft of the lunette ring? Also, I am going back and forth on what size square tubing for my offroad trailer. 2x2x.120 or...

Good morning, longtime lurker on this great forum! I have started working on a camping/utility trailer and have a couple of questions before I proceed. Here is what I'm working with.. It is a highway sign trailer that I found on craigslist. I am about to replace the axle with a 3500# axle...
