I was originally wanting to do aluminum for the whole cab but now I think I'm just going to do a hybrid approach. The top half will be aluminum for weight savings and durability since it also functions as the outer shell when closed. The bottom half will be plywood for durability, and strength...

Making progress on my trailer:

Basically, in spirit, it's a popup camper trailer.

Channel typically has weight savings but the fact that I'm using 3/16" channel versus the usual 1/8" tube kind of minimizes the difference. The main benefit of channel and angle is rust management. I know it'd probably be years of humidity for a tube to rust from the inside out but structural...

Yea, I plan on doing both. It's just easier sometimes to do a quick social media post but I'll try and keep everything here in more detail, too.

Current state of the frame..

I posted a while back about starting a build for a trailer design that I think is extremely unique and -- from my research across American and Australian trailer companies -- hasn't been done before (ie. going to try and patent the concept if necessary). If all goes according to plan with the...

Hm. Those numbers are actually not too bad. I think I can modify my designs to account for warping. Thanks for digging this up! That looks promising. The prices seem reasonable, too; though the rates are comparable to solid aluminum sheets. I'm wondering how easy those composite panels are...

That's what I was thinking, too; that or UHMW (but will probably be more expensive). Still not sure if the plastic should be the exterior or interior half of the hybrid wall. Exterior would help with durability in tight trails against branches and light rock wall scratches. Interior would...

Hello, Expedition Portal. The name's Kris and reside in San Diego; I'm stoked to be a part of this expedition trailer community to both learn from all the experienced builders and share the progress of my build once it starts. The goal is to build an adventure trailer that puts function over...

We sold the RTT a month ago. I don't think we'll be going back to one.

Messed around with SketchUp for the first time today and came up with the idea below. This is something the girlfriend and I want to create this year. I'm new to all of this so I would also be learning a lot as I go. Front kick-out sliders Rear low-profile sliders Slide-out foot ramp...

Sold?

Finally updating this thread after over a year! I hope someone stumbles upon this for once, haha.

Man, if only you were near San Diego.. I'd jump on this.

As of today.. First trail run years ago.. Build info: http://buildprint.io/b/pluto
