As I patiently wait for my Bronco to arrive, I'm scrolling through camping sites for trailers. I'm looking for recommendations/advice/your favorite choice of overland/expedition trailers. Don't need one to sleep in, as the wife already bought us a great tent. Looking for one that will haul gear, (beer) and kayaks. I'm in Massachusetts, so easy dirt roads will likely be the most off roading it's going to see.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been looking at trailers since I reserved my Bronco.

So far for the price and amenities I like: mammothoverland.com

When I saw the pricing of manufactured mini campers and the simplicity of construction, I knew they were ripe for DIY. I'm building a 6.5x10 right now that's kind of like the rounder one and then I'm going to start on a lifted 4x8 more like the square one to drag through the rough stuff.

I too have been searching for the perfect set up. My favorite so far are the utility bed home builds. I hope this coming year I can build something close to this.

I bought an old military M416 trailer. It's awesome and solid. I started taking everything off it to strip the surface rust and paint and I have to pull out a bend in one side. It's a beast and simple to work on. Reminds me of restoring my 1965 Mustang. You only need basic tools.. I'm going to use colored bed liner. Black for the bed and frame and a grey to try and match my cactus grey Badlands.

I plan to document the build in a post here. Because of the dent I got it cheap... Only $250. I'm really excited about it.

I was building my overlanding setup long before the Wild Bronco was Born.( I worked some kinks out with the Jeep Rubicon). I know looking for something to haul gear but love this setup as it weighs 2480 lbs. empty and when fully loaded gear, generator and 4 fuel cans it hits just over 3300 lbs. This is a Sunlite 16bh with full bath with separate shower, bed, dinette and lil kitchen with big fridge. it does have a higher stance(off-road package but just sits higher to allow bigger tires.) It makes a nice easy towing package. I have not towed with the Bronco yet but will this spring. hopefully this gives some inspiration and helpful ideas.

As this isn't DOT legal anymore it gets hauled out for desert camping duty, however it's a repurposed USPS mail cart and operates just fine once you're off public roads.

Camping is more than possible and it has a rather spacious bed arrangement behind the second row of seats, plus the roof mounted futon for when you want to romp under the stars or hide from a bear.

Might not be exactly the direction you wanted to go, but it's always an option to build a secondary purpose camper rig like this.

As always, styling is to individual taste and YMMV.

I am planning to build a Rig, similar to this…using a small Utility Trailer, with the Smittybilt Overland RTT. Probably won’t build as high up, though…
