I am selling a custom built trailer capable of carrying 2 (smallish) dirt bikes. The frame is the back half of a LR Discovery I. Asking $3000 obo price includes the Camping Lab RTT and changing room.

My husband built this trailer to my specs and it's been fantastic tent camping. The only reason we are selling is because we already bought a travel trailer so our dogs can travel with us.

Great trailer
I remember meeting you guys summer 2009 at a moto rally in Colorado.

From what I remember seeing it's a very well built purpose built trailer and it looks like a great pirce at $3K!

I like it! Some questions -

Water proof?
Weight?
Axle type?
Rear trailer jacks?
Picture shows 2 different rims?
Water storage?
When you say 2 small motos - weight?
Where in Co are you located?

Or just PM me a contact phone number:sombrero:

I like it! Some questions -

Water proof? No, not waterproof, the box itself is plywood and it's pretty water resistant. They only time we've had water inside the box is after a severe downpour and it was parked underneath a leaky gutter. The tent cover has never leaked.

Weight? To be determined in the next day or two.

Axle type? The frame is a Land Rover Disovery I with stock axles.

Rear trailer jacks? No trailer jacks, we use wheel chocks and a high lift jack in the Land Rover hitch receiver. High lift jack is included in the price. It is very steady, we've camped in it a lot with high winds (including in 2009 when we met McVic) and have never had an issue.

Picture shows 2 different rims? It has 3 matching 16 inch steel rims. In one pic it has wheels from a Range Rover Classic that was our 3rd car at the time, we've since converted to the steel rims with Yokohama geolander tires.

Water storage? The front of the box carries (2) 7 gallon water containers, green containers in the pic, also included.

When you say 2 small motos - weight? The weight of the moto on the back is the limiting factor. We've carried a Honda CRF230 (about 260 lbs) and a KTM 250 (about 240 lbs) and the trailer squats. If you only carry a moto on the front the weight is not an issue. We bought a set of spacers to help when carrying 2 bikes, but have not installed them yet. The spacers are also included in the price and installation can be negotiated.




Where in Co are you located? Colorado Springs

Or just PM me a contact phone number:sombrero:

Thanks for your time showing all its features. We took your route up to Rampart Reservoir, what a beautiful area...popped up the tent, hung out and had lunch. Very cool trailer, we love it !! :bike_rider:


Just got home, no worries at 80mph with this trailer...pulls awesome with our 3rd gen 4runner, tons of thumbs up from off road rigs of all kinds.

Looking to the West coming into boulder County, appears as though the entire front range is on fire.....crazy !! very sad, many homes destroyed.

Thx again, hope to see you sometime on the trail
