Recently I started 2 off road trailer projects, First one is a H/D off road trailer for rough tracks trips with the tent using an extra cab SR5 Hilux tub.
Second is a H/D off road camper trailer using a single cab style XL body (ex Telstra) with a large roof top tent attached, complete with annex style room and internal ladder.
Both the trailers are using the same style 75x50mm ladder frame chassis, H/D Outback 7 leaf eye to eye rebound springs. The off road trailer has had the tub welded in place for additional strength and rigidity while the camper will be bolted on using the existing chassis mounts on a re-enforced ladder frame and tabs.
The pic’s below show the off road trailer in 95% finished condition, just have to complete the wiring on the12V battery power system that is charged via an Anderson plug on the back of the Patrol to run fridge and lights, buy a tonneau cover and she’s done.
The camper will be finished and registered on about the 4th of September with just the a little extra internal wiring and fitment of the LPG gas system to be completed, will post pic’s of it about then as just now it’s a pile of pieces waiting for build up.
The camper will ride about 40- 50mm lower than the off roader for stability with the extra weight, have eletric brakes, pressured water and between a 5-10 min setup, then your kicking back taking in the scenery with a drink and everything ready to go plus additional exterior lights for night time setup.
