    Thanks for the heads up. He doesn't drive slow even pulling a trailer. :(

    That might be big
    All depends on how good the trailer's suspension is.

    There are places that folks will pull up and set up a camper right off the road. I wouldn’t want to be in the dust, but others seem ok with it.

    a 19 foot trailer might be big to drag through the back country in Maine. It's fine for base-camp down here.

    Anyone have an opinion about comping in Baxter state park Sunday night? Alternative is a primative site in the NMW.

    most trailers have a un-dampened leaf spring suspension.. very bouncy...

    I am starting to design an offroad trailer using a fabricated swingarm, a used car spring, and an inexpensive shock (like a $40 procomp, or something similar)...

    looking to have solar panels, adjustable height rack for RTT, water, and gas (jerry can) storage, space for a fridge/freeze, and electrical/battery for it as well. suitcase generator storage(I have a suitcase honda 1000watt, good for lights, and small tools, or battery charging) sealed storage, and a fold down table for cooking/prep, full size 285/75/16 spare, and using full size toyota rims, so I can swap with the truck if i need to.

    this is all purely hypothetical, and in design stage, as I dont have a decent welder right now, and I would like to build it with lightweight, and strength in mind.. would love to do it in chromoly tube... as i dont like aluminum for cracking reasons, BUT thinking some 2" square tube for a base frame, and 20guage steel and creative bends will make for a strong structure & waterproof., and some aluminum backed 1/2" ply should be sturdy enough, and easily replaceable in case of an accident, or trail damage. planning to have flat outer walls, and recessed locks/handles. its not going to be cheap, but it's also not going to be $12k

    These can be bouncy as well, theres no shock absorber. Not to knock on a new purchase, but torsion suspensions can start to sag over time. especially if you leave it with a load on it all the time (storing gear, and not using jack stand/leveling jacks.) if you plan to store the trailer for a number of months, I recommend tire covers (uv protection), and jack up the trailer, and put it on blocks..
