    Noticed the frame is angle not rhs, was Just thinking then what about a flip top lid on top your frame.
    You'll hate pulling your strides on lying down. right pain in the rrrrrs
    Very light duty trailer for what you are going tt do, Mine used to carry bobcat so strong frame and floor
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    nah mate, if you mean a flip top like the roof top campers, im trying to avoid canvas so i wint be going down that road.

    the dimensions of the sleeping cavity are:
    l: 2050
    w: 1200
    h: 900

    and im sure the trailer will be right for the amount of weight ill be adding too it. it roughly a 2 cubic meter water tank on it and water pump with motor. the way i see it if it can handle that sort of weight(i work out to roughly 2t) it can handle the 500 kg's max that will be loaded into it.
    I got red dust in my veins.

    One thing, I probably will end up reinforcing the side walls if they look lacking, you are right TD the sides are angle but it's very thick folded steel, would 2.6mm thick sound right?

    fyi, the bloke with the white shirt on is 6'3" and he fits in, and we both fit in shoulder to shoulder

    Looking good buddy need an overhead compartment for radio etc.
    I covered mine in colour bond sheet then trimmed it
    with 25mm x 25mm Aluminium angle, Smeared a touch of silicon on before
    riveting on.

    Didnt need to line roof as solar panel covered most of roof
    but sides I use 20mm polystyrene sheet

    Hey mate, thanks for the feedback. Yeah so you may just be able to see the shape of a shelf on the left of the pic. I haven't decided whether to enclose the shelf or make it open, probably better for making stuff not fall down.

    I'm using the same stuff, colourbond sheet, with blind rivets every 100mm. And ally 25x25 angle with a nice bead of silicone.

    I plan on insulating the walls, I was thinking with polystyrene or something like that, any ideas on something better?
