Default My Home Made Offroad trailer finally done
Well... the trailer is done. I am happy with it. Will be doing a cover shortly, havent quite sorted that out yet. Please give me ideas. We built the trailer because we are going to do a camping trip across the country, leaving in 2 weeks.

Here is the trailer.

That is awesome. I think I'll build one as soon as my welding skills improve. Well done and have fun on the trip.

That looks very professional; like the matching wheels and tires and the lack of a trailer axle.

I went with the matching wheels so I didnt have to carry a trailer spare. The paint doesnt quite match but it is close. Just have to figure out a cover.

It is a articulating hitch... no ball. Swivelsleft and right, pivots up and down, and rotates (kind of like the hands on a clock). No binding or bending.
