getting some great information. Kinda leaning towards building the whole thing out of wood to save on costs. Dont know when i am going to build this as money is tight but wanted to get planning to see if it was going to be an option or not. Getting a rough cost compared to buying a popup or...

Love the rendering but i dont figure on using a bathroom or sink or anything like that in there. God i wish i could use that program that well.

well to be honest we are simple. Right now we just tent camp it and have no problems as long as the weather holds out. I just hate trying to take down camp when it raining. The more i think about it the more i lean towards just 2x4 construction(have even though about the metal 2x4s) with...

well i think i can go be 10 x 8. Also on the front i could do a dent out like a truck camper for storage if i wanted to too. Looking to go camping with just 2 people and 2 dogs. Wish i could find a box off a uhaul truck or something like that but i love building thing anyways.

Hello all First let me start by telling you all a few things about what i want to try and do with this. I have a jeep that i trailer around to play with. I want a camper to without a truck box camper. I own an excavating business so i have a 25ft 20,000 trailer i can us to haul my jeep with...

i think he is saying the front bolts are not tight or even close. More like just a bolt through it with a jam not on the very end of the bolt sit it can slide or twist or anything it need to do. But it is not mine i am just guessin:ylsmoke:

seems like a neat idea but why do two swing outs? A lot of extra work and money more to do it that way instead of just one swing out to one side. I don't mean to knock you idea because i do like it and it is different and if that is what you are going for great.

Thanks. Money is really tight right now but someday i hope to. Another corner i plan to cut is going to use treated plywood instead of steel.

i agree. i would assume most trailer that would brake down would normally be an axle or suspension problem. If not that it then maybe the trailer lookup its self. BTW frame design looks great.

Well i got the trailer hooked to the jeep today to see how it looked. :victory: Here are some pics.

btw i like the slider idea. I might have to see about doing that.

well i got a fair amount of work done on the trailer however i forgot a camera for the building part. I got the tounge built and the axle attached. Will get a pic in the morning.

looks great man. The trailer is as big as the jeep lol.

any suggestions for how thick to skin the bottom and the sides?..

Well I got some more work done on the trailer. Got my axle narrowed and some 35" roller tires mounted. I only plan to run a 31" but down the road i want it to make the jeep so i want to do the wheel wells to fit 35's. I ended up narrow the axle 5" so that makes the whole thing about 77"...

Tearing things apart is so much fun:wings:

looking good.

wait i mean it is already spring over but was thinking about switching the drop axle to a lift axle.

Can i get some pics of the slider? Sounds kinda cool. Yea i am planning on SOA it but want to get the frame build so i can see how high everything is going to be.

well started to work on the axle today. Made a cool yet day killing discovery. My axle is 1.75x1.75 SOLID STEEL. So i don't have what i need to narrow and sleeve it back together and of course the steel place is closed. Now to wait til monday.
