Almost wish I hadn't found the site now
Looking through all the stuff and searching various models of trailers has lead me to wanting to build my own, mostly for the challenge, partially to make sure it is exactly how I would want to use it.
Might have to sign up for a welding course at the local Tafe and/or see if the uni that accepted me for engineering still wants me 5 years later, my current experience is welding together some scrap metal about 8-10 years ago when I wouldn't stop pestering an uncle that was welding up a broken something or other to let me weld something. My design and building experience in general is more diverse, no doubt I could produce a workable design, but my ability to give it shape would be in question. Of course I could just take the design to someone with the skill and gear to get it done, but that's no fun
At the moment I'd never get approval from the parents and I haven't got the $$$ to build my dream camper. I might end up drawing up some fairly convoluted plans to go in "one day" box with a new 4WD though.
Why is it that the more you know about something it both becomes an obsession (something you love) and an annoyance (something you hate)? Seems to be the way with everything, the people that don't think about it seem to have far more fun, yet also don't get the most out of it.
Before reading up on the trailers I'd have been happy with a base model such and such brand with no extras as long as it looked like good quality gear, now I want everything and probably wouldn't be happy if I got it because I'd still be looking for more things I could add to it or change.
