    Wondering what you guys think a fair price for my trailer is

    I have about $10k personally invested in the trailer. It would be more but I was able to get a lot of building materials for free (like the barn wood, laminate, wall coverings). I was hoping to get $10k back out, in fact that's what I had it listed for on craigslist. I wasn't sure if that was...

    Wondering what you guys think a fair price for my trailer is

    I am selling my custom cargo conversion. I had a build thread here during the build process so you may recognize it. I was wondering what you guys think would be a fair price to sell it. This trailer was constructed from late 2017 to early 2018. It was built using a 2014 5x8 aluminum enclosed...

    It's around 30 inches longer than it used to be. I would estimate its overall length to be between 5 and 6 feet

    Thank you! I really wanted to make videos of the process so I can look back and remember the whole process.

    I was on the money, it's 87 to the high point of the roof. However the vent adds about 5 inches so if you count the highest highest point its about 92

    SoCal Tear Drop Owners! Post up!

    Guys, I just stopped by Socal Teardrops since I work a block a way. Holy smokes, I couldn't get the smile off my face. The trailers are amazing in person! Pictures do not do them justice. The staff was so friendly and they gave me a whole tour of their shop, even though I told them I was just...

    I plan to put a 1x4 on the front lip to keep it from sliding off. Just haven't added it yet. Hopefully that's enough

    To make a long story short, I switched from 315/75 tires to 285/75. I had some rubbing on the rear of the fender. When I designed the fenders, I didn't account for the fact that the wheel moves in an arc, it moves backwards as it compresses. So it rubs the back edge of the fender. I didn't want...

    Head will be towards the nose. Yeah the outlet placement could get in the way if we want to plug stuff in.. but we wont use the outlet often. We have 2 12 v outlets tucked inside the cubbies that we will use to charge our phones. Hopefully it's not an issue because it would be a nightmare to...

    My offroad 5x8 Cargo Trailer Camper Conversion

    Converting a trailer was SO much more work than I thought it would be, but very very rewarding. I'm super happy I did it. Now that I see the light at the end of the tunnel I am realizing I'm going to be sad when I no longer have a project to work on. The journey is as fun as the enjoyment

    Lol! Fancy seeing you here. I just don't have that type of relationship with the Expedition Portal Forum! I just realized you're in both forums.. even though I had seen your name, I didn't realize I'd seen it on both lol.

    If anyone ever wants to copy my bed design, you can use this document I made to figure out what length your slats should be for the width of your bed, based off what wood you choose to use

    My offroad 5x8 Cargo Trailer Camper Conversion

    Dude, yes! I am so excited to see your build! I was concerned about those joints in the A frame too. I welded a plate across the bottom of the joints between the frame and the tongue on each side. I also welded another beam from the end of the tongue all the way back to the axle, its welded to...
