Looking for Disable Overlanders for input on a micro trailer build

[time4ajeep]

Hey all,

I am in the planning stage of building a micro offroad trailer. I live now on Kodiak island and need the something I can beat on in the backwoods. I have recently lost my right leg due to medical issues, so I have had to relook at how i do things. Mobility has really been hard since the loss but I have been making change on this camper to meet my special needs.

So i ask all of you to think deep and let me know what you think I need to add to make this camper more useful and enjoyable?


Thanks all of you,

I'm thinking very small Teardrop camper. Mine is a Timberleaf Pika. Essentially the same outside tire width as my JLU XR with 35" tires. 33" tires with the off road suspension. So if the Jeep fits, the trailer fits.

Kodiak Island, is quite the place.
What would your tow (primary)vehicle be?
are you set on a trailer?

I currently have 2 rigs for pulling a trailer. One is a 2012 JK Rubican and the other is a 2025 Jeep JT. I am looking for the trailer so i can camp on the beach here. Soft sides in the Kodiak bear country doesn't leave you feeling safe LOL.....

One thing I would consider if mobility is an issue is door placement. If you have the traditional side doors, I would try place the door so that when you sit back into the camper on the bed, you only really need to swing you leg in and lay back. No need to shuffle up or down the matress

I agree with you on the mobility issue. My main concern is getting in and out of the trailer, also with limited mobility the setup is critical for me to get established.
