New here. Started primarily on road camping trailer a few years ago. Trailer has 2 x3 x.25 steel frame in a shape of a cross with home built air bag suspension attached to cross member. Trailer has a box length of 14 feet, a total length of 22 feet with rear patio-aero back. Trailer top retracts from 9 feet approx. 6 feet when closed which still provides room inside for either my Goldwing or my 16 foot canoe. Hope to be less than 2500 lbs wet without the Goldwing as it is over 800 by itself. Rest of trailer is all foam epoxy construction. Hope to be done in 2 years or so.

A little more on my trailer project. I am using 215 15 inch trailer tires as this is best for my application since it is primarily an on road trailer. The suspension should be real soft so it should still be good on forest roads and miner easy trails especially in the northeast. My vehicle is limited anyways. Some other features are 2 twenty five gallon fresh water tanks a 25 gallon grey water and a 25 gallon black tank in a pattern centered over the axle. The fresh water can be filled and drained to adjust weight and balance since 1 is in front of the axle and 1 is behind, the other tanks will fill fairly evenly. A word of note, since the fresh water tanks hold so much I will rarely fill them do to weight since most of my camping, although off grid is 2 to 3 days. A fresh water toilet, a conventional shower, inside, a recirculating rain head rinse after navy shower and rinse 1st. I also will have a 12 volt lithium battery, a 48 volt removable lithium 100 amp with an all in one charger, 3000 watt inverter. I won't have any solar. mostly camp in woods with almost no sun, I don't want the extra weight and wind resistance on roof. I will have my 2200 watt Honda generator for running 5000 btu air conditioning and charging. It will have inside 12 volt 2 way cooler, sink ,cook top ,probably portable to use inside or out. It will have a spare tire. air compressor for suspension and tires , etc. That is all for now, any questions or suggestions please feel free to comment, I will try to respond in a timely manner.
