My offroad trailer

[SmokeSlayer]

Ive been looking at this forum for years and it was time for me to add my contribution. I had the pleasure of visisting my wifes home town in South Africa. I found myself at a local offroad camping trailer dealership. I fell in love with what they had but I could not afford one plus the shipping would kill me. So i took a flyer and lots of pictures. When i got home i got straight to work build in figuring out what my need are and what the family wanted. After hours of work and long lies at the DMV i finished my dream. So here it is.

Looks like it will be a nice set up. What kind of springs and axle are you using and what weight will you be running?

The axle is a 3500 lb with brakes and 2200 lb springs. I have yet to weight it.
