I have been building this camper for a little while now, must say, it quite personalised to the way I want it. I wanted it to be the lightest weight, no fuss style camper that I could take anywhere my car could go.
The pods are great! Instead of drawers, in a pod type trailer built using the rear 'pod' from a Nissan Navarra was to install a false floor of 19mm marine ply which slides on teflon runners. The floor slides out about half its length. Made a heck of a difference for accessibility. 300kg load on the floor moved quite easily. Just a thought!
Using good old 20/20 hind sight you could have built the electrical system in the front of the trailer and used the front box for easy to get to storage, bonus points for getting that weight over the axle. Love the trailer it's an exellent light weight option right down to a RAV4 or a Jimny.
All seems a bit unnecessary to me. If your going to basecamp, take the caravan. If not, put a rooftop tent directly on the car. When I did a lap with the family we took the caravan for comfort, but then left it in Cairns for 10 days while we did Cape York using the rooftop tent. I get you can take more stuff with a trailer, but I'd rather travel a bit lighter. Catch you in Perth.
An absolute belter of light weight trailer Dash rock on man looks bloody awesome, i was thinking about buying a light weight trailer my self and now after seeing your setup its got me excited.
I am seriously looking at one of these. Want to do Simpson and similar so I want as light as possible. Do you believe they seal well from dust and water, do you have concerns about the gas bottle and Gerry cans seem to hang down. Can I also ask why you didn’t get a hard shell.? Cheers
