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

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

A few pics of my Off road also has a 2.5 x 2.5M awning off the side kitchen in the back, 12V lighting, blue tooth CD player, I have a portable wood fire for heating & cooking a great set up tow"s like a dream :-)

Awesome, very similar to what I want to build, what are the dimensions? What material is outside?

Slowly making progress, just put in the diesel powered heater, water heater, shower and new toilet. Couple of Maxxair fans and just working on the gas bottle box on the drawbar so I can get the hot water and external gas points hooked up by a Gasfitter. Any Gasfitter’s on here between Whangārei and Hamilton/Napier?

580w of solar and 200a/h of lithium batteries, will probably add on to that eventually.

Lots of finishing left to do, need to mount an awning and hopefully put some new wheels on it.

As the body is slightly translucent we haven’t felt the need for windows yet.

Very nice @Savage1, have you homebuilt all of this?

Everything except for the chassis, which is a Jayco chassis, been making it up as I go along.

I wish I did build the chassis, I could’ve saved a bit of weight and changed the style up a bit.
