Trailer build advice and ideas please.

Sounds like you are set.

Yes the longer the better as you know short trailers are a pain to reverse. Gives you room to also mount a box or spare tyre there too.

Steel is cheap.

Yeah mine is 7x5 and is a great size, I've never wished it were bigger so around that is a good size

My trailer is 7x5 with 18inch high sides. Plenty big enough but almost too big for camping. As when packing the trailer you want things sitting in there snug. So theres no movement. I used to find myself looking for things just to shove in the trailer.

You want ideally to have the same wheelbase as your patrol.
Mine is only a little off but I have wheel spacer if I need to.
Do you need boxes infront and behind the wheel and box in your wheels
so to speak 7 foot long perfect for sleeping if need be, 4 or 5 ft wide is a personal choice.
100% on the 180cm draw bar, mine will sit on 140kph all day long where permitted of course.
If its not for sleeping you wont need step to gain entry. Have a hard lid and flip it sides ways.
Do you have a rough floor plan of what you want??

Hi BA, I got some great ideas form a forum called my swag. Its all about people making their own camper trailers and the like. I think you might get some good ideas from if you are interested in having a look. Good friendly people on there as well.

We should have our own camper thread be it it camper trailer or caravan or pop top..

Compare notes and so on with all the pluses and minuses of their own campers.
