DIY Camper trailer for My Suzuki jeep + CJ 7

[haroon9scotch]

I am new memeber to this site. Have been reading the post from fellow memebers since last 1 week. I am very impressed by the site and posts on it.
I have axle, springs, tyres, rims and shocks. Will be starting the frame from next week. I mostly use my Suzuki Jimny Sierra 1993 for camping and hunting. Being a small SUV I need a light weight trailer with a camp.

I live in a country where we have ample and one of the best mountains and game bird shooting. What we dont have is any company who make a RTT or trailers, so I will be making every thing my self.

I am confused now is to make decision between the following 2 ideas.

The Jeep trailer looks nice but it's not cheap, not that off-road tent trailer are cheap. Jeep one looks like it could be more luxurious than a trailer with a RTT.

I have been working and looking for local manufuctures here in my country and the best thing is labour is very cheap here. I bout the axle with shackles and shocks with costed me $90. Bought the hook for trailer which was only $6. Went to the tent person today and the whloe fabric with tent of jeep trailer will cost me $100.

Finaly decided I will make the picture 1 trailer as it will be easy to stand in it plus easy excess to it.
