Thread: SHOW US YOUR OFF ROAD / CAMP TRAILERS Builds or finished articles

@Happy, me and the wife really want to see some photos of the inside please, that trailer looks farkin perfect for a two person bunk.

Still working away at it, just put on 480w of solar and some Lithium batteries in it to run the fridge that my wife demanded.

Still a lot left to do but will be able to sleep in it for some xmas camping.

It's been quite a learning curve.

Trees have almost blocked it out, another year or two.

Looks good but why no windows?

They will be one of the last things I put in, as I'm making it up as I go along I'm not 100% on what size and placement I want. That's the beauty of these panels, just cut a hole out anywhere.

Gee its flash Savage1, much bigger than I thought from the earlier photos of the chassis. Is the edge trim a freezer panel extrusion or is it a heavier gauge Ali angle iron rolled to fit ? great protection either way

It has a 6.8m body, panels only came 6.5m long hence the join near the front.

It's a 75mm Ali angle extrusion, 50mm on the interior joins too, all glued and riveted. Couldn't get anywhere to roll the curves so I fabricated them, it was a right PITA.

Bostick IMR glue is pretty much all that is holding it together, I think it's the same stuff that holds windscreens in cars.

Not bad for its size and fully laden apart from empty water tanks. Kitchen, beds, solar, batteries, fridge, cabinetry/cupboards all installed, just needs windows, toilet and shower installing now

Gives it 1800kg to play with before it's over loaded.

Finally made a start on my offroad trailer, going to be a tear drop style.

Main thing I'm debating is the cladding, I'm thinking ply internal walls as easier for me to work.

I was also thinking ply external but am now wondering about Alloy sheet so welcome any advice on the pros and cons

The metal shell on mines causes a lot of condensation leading to moisture problems if I don't keep drying it out

What about the combination of exterior ply for strength, then overlaid with aluminium composite panel. A bit of insulation effect that may prevent condensation on the interior??

Built this a few of years ago for two day vintage enduro racing....Oztent, SS fold out kitchen, carries two bikes across the front, alloy box on front for battery/compressor/gear, pull out seat/box for food and cooking gear, caravan water tank underneath, 30" muds to match my one tonner. Lived in it for 3 months when I first moved to Tassie.

I'm currently thinking 25mm steel frame with polystyrene insulation, 3mm caravan ply interior and either Aluminium or ply exterior
