Holly molly!! Struggling to close my jaw after it dropped......So about a year ago I started an off-road trailer build. I have a 30 ft trailer that we use as a family to go camping, but I wanted something smaller that I could pull with my Bronco and take on more adventurous trips.
I like projects and learning to do new things, so I started completely from scratch. When I began the build I thought I’d have roughly 100 hours into it from start to finish. I just completed it this last week, and easily have 4 to 5x that amount of time into it.
Since I looked at a lot of other diy builds before I started, I thought I’d post this up with some pictures to maybe give the next person some ideas.
Pictures of the frame and box construction as well as axle mounting. I built the trailer to have the same track width as my bronco.
Next I worked on the exterior skin, trim, fenders, door and window. For the exterior trim I used aluminum composite panels. They were originally orange, but me and my son wrapped them with a matte metallic blue.
From here I added propane, outside shower/water heater, exterior drop down table and baggage doors.
Next was the interior. Working in the small space was kind of a pain. I put down lvl flooring, placed cabinets at the front, below the cabinets is the power center and converter. Not pictured, but there is also a 15 gallon water tank below the cabinets. Lastly I used pvc shiplap on the walls and ceiling.
The rear galley has cabinets, a small sink, two burner cooktop and a 3.3 cu ft refrigerator. I didn’t take a lot of pictures of this work. As the project went on longer, I was just focused on getting it done and didn’t take a lot of pictures.
After a few more odds and ends, the trailer is done. It was a lot of work, but I’ll enjoy it while out exploring trails. Finished pictures with my bronco.
