That would be interesting wouldn't it :)


I want to match rims and tyres all around hence 8 rims (6+2). I will offload my terrafirma rvs wheels with 255x85x16 and go back to OE rolling dim

Killed that conversation p38!! :)

Project is on and have decided to keep the OE chassis and add an A frame with Banjo axle including hubs without internals. OE Springs may be airbag to level the bed etc....

.. i have put a bit of thought into it but i would really like suggestions/perspective... I really think the tub is a great platform for a off road camper, would really appreciate input/suggestions.

Many Thanks

admin,


please change title to "110 tub camper trailer project"

I was looking at doing something similar a few years ago. But in the end found it was easier and cheaper to start with an Army trailer and build requirements around that. The single axle haul marks are selling for about $1000.

Actually this is pretty reasonable value. Just needs a RTT

One of these RTT would be good.

I’m pretty sure you can attach an awning to it.

I thought about it, pretty attractive price as well..but too far down the 110 project now with bits and pieces on the way...

[dazzler]

picked up the tub last week from New Castle, in very good nick. all the other bits coming from TRS inc complete axle, b pillers, doors and rear drop down tailgate all from a rolled black DCPU.

Dropped the tub at a fab place for drawbar/chassis work etc.

I was talking to a boat trailer manufacturer last week and asked what the bullet shaped device was on his trailer drawbars. He told me he'd never use the Al-Ko unit again. He did say why but I can't recall why. I'll ask him when I see him again this week.

Hi Matt,

Sold my 110, On hold at the moment but still committed to the project. The chassis will live with a compact/bespoke body and metal RTT. This will progress once I finish the reno :)

Not used yet, but like to know concerns.
Thanks

Wow, quite an upgrade. Professional spec?

Yes it is. Yet to be set up like the defender though. All of the kit you see is factory standard.
