The design as we go M-101A1 Trailer build

[protohyp]

So i've moved over from Airstreams to off road trailers and this will be my first go. I'm using some inspiration from the Airstreams i've worked with and Kimberley Karavans and some other expedition trailers that i've seen and moshing it all into one blob. So here goes...I'll let most of the pics do the talking but this is my progress for the past 4 days.

The Kimberley Karavan above is from another members so I must give them credit for the photo. The over all trailer will look like this but be longer

After much thought on building fender wells from scratch I realized since the dump bed was so straight and the wells are already built if just use what I had. It was scary to think of the amount of grinding needed to chop but most of the work was a pry bar hammered at the spot welds...a couple of hits and pop goes the weasel...so now gonna have to bust out the welder and consider a barrier that will stand between the steel and aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion. Best of all I just didn't want to end up scrappin

g the top since no one wanted to buy it
