Gidday Folks,
There's some work gone into the trailers on this thread, you can see why the camper trailer companies charge so much for their product! Must be the Scottish (cheap?) blood that led me to make my own. Plus I love the smell of burning metal and can't seem to stay away from the welder. . .
You see very few camper trailers down under here in New Zealand, I've maybe seen a dozen on my travels, and the higher end commercial models cost anywhere up to NZD65,000.
I made mine out of an ex-MOD trailer that I changed to Range Rover hubs and home made axle; steel block home made version of the Treg coupling; gear lockers on the sides and spare wheel front and rear; 40 litres of water running via hose to my version of a Drifta plywood slide out kitchen. Matched the trucks 35" BFG MTs with a set of 35" ATs.
Most of the tracks in NZ tend to be very tight and in the bush, but this thing has been dragged over most of the North Island; mud, mountains, beach and farmland.
Cheers
Griff
