Collection of Trailer Builds

@Jmanscotch

Checked out your awesome build and yes pretty similar and going to steal your barn door latch idea to keep the door open.
The more I use it the more practical ideas I get to modify or maybe for next build.

Project still in the works.

Q: does the long tongue aid towing or is it to distribute weight away from the vehicle?

thx

Usually it's needed so you can nearly jacknife the trailer while attached to the truck for turning around in tight spaces/trails. At least mine was like that and that is why I did it.

Nice trailer too btw.

Just realized I'm going on 12 years with my little home build and it's still going strong.

Congratulations! Ours was finished just over 12 years ago. We're loading it out for a 2 month trip today. Ready to add to its 55,000 miles of use....

A longer tongue also aids in backing up . slowing the trailer response time to your corrections . Making it much easier to back up

I started with a bare bones new street version of a Runaway Range Runner Camper & over 6 years of modification I end up with this. I done all the work myself; metal fabrication, paintwork, spray on bed liner, the electrical.

I don't know anything about tractor trailer trailers really - but if anyone could point me to any good links or resources, thank you in advance - I don't even have the vocab to discuss them yet so not even sure how to efficiently google this

I'm talking about the full size trailers, the 18 wheeler trailers.

Not overland, obviously, but interested in anyone building them out for camp / shop / tiny home use.

And the reefer versions - how good is the insulation? Would it be a desirable bonus headstart in building an insulated live-in trailer?
