I have been building up a trailer over the past few months. I want a trailer I can use with the family camping and with buddies mountain biking It’s a work in progress.

Here is the backstory.

To start I got a roof top tent for a ridiculous deal. One night I was doing a few different searches on marketplace and found a roof top tent that looked good enough and The price was low so I went and looked at it. Found it outside a thrift store and haggled the dealer down to $300 and waited on a friend with a pick up and off we went. 5498D099-43C2-45F2-9C40-12A842438C13.jpeg
Once I got home I started researching and found that it had been recently recalled from Thule. I filled out the warranty claim and got in touch with Thule and 3 weeks later a brand new ten showed up at my front door!

After I got the tent I started looking for a trailer I could put It on since I didn’t want to put everything away when I went mountain biking and camping. I found a trailer that was made in Georgia in the 80’s. The company took truck beds and made trailers out of them. I can’t figure out what truck it came off of though.
i build a rack out of unistrut and mounted the tent. This is what I have so far. Hopefully I will be Updating the build often.

I build the rack out of unistrut since it could be bolted together. I had seen a few others go this route so I went with it. 5DCB2015-7C5C-4C54-9BF7-F813E567FB78.jpeg
Measured and cut everything and started piecing it together.

once everything got bolted together I spray painted it and attached my solar shower and mounted the roof top tent. 63916A1A-B0F1-4547-9557-D47FBDC2E752.jpeg

After getting the rack situated I decided the trailer needed some attention and went to town with the sander.

you can see the original blue color peaking out. I rattle canned the outside and sprayed bed liner inside. 63C1413A-4D68-4558-B6D6-8AC2DFBCDE29.jpeg
