Looks like you gotit going there! I would square off the front of the trailer, build a storage area under the bed of the camper. I'd think of adding more storage under the sides of the camper as well to slide on the trailer. A fixed storage area at the front of your trailer would still leave room to use the trailer, depends on what the other purpose is. Good luck with it, keep posting pics!

I have some plans for storage , yes there is a lot of room on the front for storage and some room on the side , only problem is the axle is rated for 2000 LBS , I did some extra work on the axle so it is stronger but I don’t want to over load it

Sweet !

That will make a great set up for you.

Good luck on the project.

Here are some sample pictures.

Thought I would attach them so it might give you ideas for your new project, or others on the forum.

Happy Camping

:)

Looks like a good plan but I'd be worried about the added axle brace hitting the one above it on a good bump..

@arlon

It looks tight on picture but there is plenty space in between


@Stan@FourWheel
I like that one , what size tires you have is it stable on the road dos the trailer go left and right or it pull straight
