Hi All,
I am new to this forum so I start by saying hello to everyone.
I am a keen overlander and in general can´t get enough of the great outdoors.
I have almost finished a self build all road camping trailer. I have built this so I have a ´mobile base camp` for when I return from hiking in the mountains or for when I wish to undertake a long overland journey like going down through Morocco for example.
I thought long and hard about every aspect of this, dimensions, weights, layouts, etc and every single final decision has been a considered compromise between technical perfection, practical reality and cost!
The idea was to create something compact enough to tow through most óverlanding conditions´ (meaning NOT extreme off-road) yet that could also carry all the gear, food, water, equipment that I would need and offer comfortable living space for two.
It has a double bed, shower & loo, sitting area (when double bed folded against the wall) and kitchen. It also has a Safari Deck that can be accessed from the inside or outside. This provide a clean, secure rest area or vantage point whenever you stop.
I attach some photos...
I often see discussions about roof tents vs. cargo trailers etc,, so though this would be of interest.
I have made everything myself, (made a great many mistakes along the way) and would be happy to chat about my experiences and decisions with anyone who cares to comment.
all the best
