My name is McCool and I'm building a trailer. I've gathered so much information from threads here, I thought I'd post my own build to contribute.
Initially, I drew up extensive plans for a fancy teardrop style trailer. But with 4 kids, I realized I didn't want to invest 300+ hours into a build when I could be spending that time with my kids. So I decided to reevaluate. In the end, I decided to keep it simple and build a basic box trailer.
There won't be anything groundbreaking here. Eventually I'll add a water tank, full electric, solar, slide out kitchen/fridge, etc. But for now, I'm just trying to get a usable trailer built.
I'll try to catch everyone up to speed. Here's the frame welded up. Its made from 2.5" square tubing.
