    What is the longest reasonable length for an off road trailer?

    Thanks for the input so far guys. Martyn, I didn't quite word the description of what I wanted properly, so here's what I really meant: Goal: Extremely capable off road camper to use as an extended base camp for summer adventures/travel work. I want it capable enough to take places like...

    Hi fellas, I think this may be a good question to start out with instead of blindly picking a desired length and building it with no idea of its actual performance off road. I'm looking to find out what the longest reasonable length that an off road trailer can be and not be a severe detriment...

    Discovery Tub Camper

    Thanks for the welcome James, yea my paint skills are killer! I see your point Matt.

    Discovery Tub Camper

    Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, but have been lurking and reading the great stuff on here. I'm tossing around the idea of using a SUV tub as a base for an offroad camper. I'm in the auto industry so finding a donor will not be an issue (I can scoop up a front end damaged 1999 disco II for...
