OK guys, here are my very rough first sketches of what I'm thinking of building. The red rectangles are fuel cans. The black cylinder front and center is a 3 gallon air tank for the air bag suspension. I still need to add the 10 lb propane tank into the drawing, I envision it going in a bracket attached to one side of the trailer probably behind the tires. I'm still trying to figure out if I want side boxes or just fenders to cover the tires.
This trailer is being built specifically for a trip I'm planning to make this spring to the San Rafael Swell and Canyon Lands areas. Both the build and the trip should be fun. And it will be nice to build a trailer for myself. Last off-road trailer I built was for another family. Here's a link to that build:
The Gillz Off-Road Trailer Build!
Also the renderings show a straight tube axle, but I will be building this as an air bag trailing arm suspension. I've given this a lot of thought over the years and now I'm going for it. Here is a link to an extensive thread from 2008 discussing this style of suspension:
Home Built Independent Suspension
I'll be posting more pictures as things progress. Wish me luck!
