Hi everyone,

I have a 6x10 trailer that I used for work, but I no longer need it for that purpose. Instead of letting it sit around, I’m thinking about turning it into an off-road camper. I’m new to this kind of project, so I’d love some advice and ideas.

Here’s what I’m looking for: 1. Tips on maximizing the limited space (bed, storage, kitchen, etc.). 2. Suggestions for off-road modifications (suspension, tires, etc.). 3. If anyone has blueprints, plans, or similar projects to share, that would be amazing! 4. Recommendations for durable but lightweight materials.

My initial plan includes: • A basic electrical system with a solar battery setup. • A sleeping area for 2-3 people, if possible • A small cooking station or a slide-out for a portable stove. • Some insulation for different weather conditions.

If you’ve done something like this or have resources to share, I’d love to hear from you. I’m excited to give this trailer a new purpose and learn along the way! Thanks in advance for your help

I have a question hope someone can help as I'm not much familiar with electrical. Pulled the battery out and have been using a Bluetti and backfeeding it through the DC outlet. Lights work using this method, but the water pump for the sink isn't working. Also the water pump doesn't work using shore power. Not sure why removing the battery would be a factor as I assume the water pump would connect to the circuit breaker. Can't see where the wire's run unless I start taking things apart. I did ask Little Guy for a diagram or anything, but they said it was too old and didn't have anything.

Any input on whether this combo would work? Our towing capacity is 1500 lbs. TIA

So I'm thinking about the Intech Luna teardrop which has a listed empty weight of about 1,800 lbs. Should I go lighter? Any other suggestions?

Yakima open range side table. We just adopted for our use. Added some c-channel to take slide-in "drawers", which hold kitchen utensils/equipment and store in the galley for travel. Very happy with the way it turned out.

As the title suggests....

I'm looking for suggestions on something I can pull with my Nissan Rogue (max tow capacity 1200lbs). Enough room for 1 person and a pile of 3 small/medium dogs.

Budget under 20k

Located in Canada, if that matters
Hit me with your best options!

Been offered a great deal on a 1400BH and it will perfectly fit our needs.

I have a few questions as google seems to give different answers;

Does it have electric brakes?

Does anyone know where I can find a manual online?

Many thanks!

Hey everyone, thanks for clicking on the post:

Please recommend some trailers for my girlfriend and I. We are looking for the following:
- Off-road Capability, not a deal breaker because we can always make our own upgrades
- Ultralight (My Max tow capacity is 3500# in ideal conditions)
- Very barebones on amenities because we plan on adding most things our selves. We plan on installing our own solar and lights.
- 6x12 to fit our inflatable mattress and two dogs; we'd consider 5x12 or 6x10, but ideally want the larger space.
- We would prefer side door entrances with 1 window on either side and space for a kitchen in the back, but we would likely build the actual kitchen.

The best fit I've seen so far are Bend Teardrop trailers, but I cannot find any information on whether or not the exterior is fully aluminum or if only the undercarriage is or if it's entirely steel and we are trying to reduce weight wherever we can. For example, our inflatable bed is only 8 lbs. collapsed instead of a 70 lb. real mattress. I'm a little new to this, so please be understanding/forgiving if there are things about this that are naïve; I'd appreciate any and all constructive feedback and education, thanks!

We've considered converting a utility trailer from scratch but are trying to avoid the amount of work that goes into that if we can. We are open to any and all trailer suggestions, but the only thing that's concrete is low weight.

I'm looking for a small trailer under $20k, under 1500 lbs empty and exterior height less than 6'8" (want to keep it in my garage). Don't want a kitchen in the back. I love the dinette in the UkanCamp Talimena. Anyone have one or seen one in person?

We have a great teardrop that has a fiberglass floor about an inch thick.

We are wanting to add a propex HS2211 heather and the best place is to mount under the frame. Would need cut about 3.5 hole using a hole saw. Any advice. Thanks

Land between the lakes in the Fantom teardrop

Why does everyone put the kitchens in the rear of their diy trailers/ small campers? How does this affect the overall weight distribution and towability of the trailer since most if the weight is on the back third of the trailer?

We just moved up here from Florida (quite the change!) and are looking for some camping clubs. We were part of a group that would travel together during the summers, so I was hoping there would be some similar types of clubs up here...but thus far I have had no luck finding them! Any suggestions?
