    The DIY Camper Trailer Build is now officially finished! In this episode we take the overlanding rig down to a local weigh bridge to see how much it weighs and the results are shocking!!
    This build was a lot more than I had originally planned for a camper trailer but I am so glad it had come this far because bloody look at the thing! It was turning heads left right and center!!
    Now time to plan a trip away in it!! Yew!

    You have done a good job. After 20 years in the army I never rolled one. And they do float. I have rowed them down many a river. Strapped Jerry cans on the outside. We called them a 1 ton trailer. I also daisy chained 6 of them together. Well done

    As the owner of a 6 by 4 camper trailer, yours is good. I took a standard 6 by 4 trailer, had a canopy made for it, added King Quiky Rooftop tent and a set of 4 by 4 drawers. I have a 120 amp battery and 40 litres of water in 4 plastic cans. But I like yours. Happy camping. You never know, we just might meet up one day.

    As a No5 trailer owner and user, I can say brakes and shocks are game changers. Please do both. I just used oem hilux shock out of the bin at my local peders dealer. They were pretty new at the time.

    Awesome job mate. I would definitely get brakes for it as legally it's only allowed to be 750kg fully loaded and if you get pulled over and weighed you'll be up shit creek. But the thing looks tough AF.

    because that's a landrover trailer it has a fixed lunette eye and the land rovers have a rotating pintle hook which is other way around to normal. normally you have a fixed pintle hook and a rotating lunette eye. the way you're setup both are fixed which won't be an issue unless you get the trailer on a steep enough side angle to bind the hitch, or worse case you roll the tralier and it tips the nissan as well or just breaks the trailer or tow bar.

    Nice effort mate , I probably would have went a different way with the hitch , I can see circumstances where that is going to drive you utterly nuts banging around.
    Longer draw bar does make them nicer too tow , I’ve built and rebuilt a few trailers over the years and all of them I extended the draw bar a tad , On my caravan too , my last trip with the big old rechassised caravan it towed like it was on a laser beam for 5000 K’s , I also replaced the old brakes with nice new hydraulic brakes , ( electric would have been nice too) , so much nicer to have good trailer brakes , did you end up fitting brakes ?
