    Tub is a little short to sleep in. Have to leave the tail gate open to stretch out fully in mine.

    There's a fella (Noel) in the LROC Brisbane who has a trailer of the sort you mention which he tows behind his 130HCPU. Makes for a great looking rig - will see if I can dig up any pics but don;t hold your breath.

    He uses it as sleeping quarters for his kids, so he and his wife get some peace and quiet in the tent. Also the trailer has heaps of room for storing firewood, water, and all sorts of goodies.


    I do hope you are not going to destroy an army trailer for this project - I'm sure any number of the REMLR boys would like the trailer or trailer chassis !
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    trailer

    hey vladtepes, mate know noel i'm in the brissy L/R club with him, haven't made it to a meeting to ask him on his set-up.

    not going to destroy a army trailer, only got the chassis/frame so just have to weld on mounts. the guy i bought it off only had that as he was going to turn it into a chippy trailer. slowly but surely (the build up)
