Campers…

I’ve got a 16’ double axle flat bed trailer that I’ve wanted to convert to a hunting camper. My idea is to get a 8’ long pop up, and turn it side ways up near the nose. Then id like to cover the length of the trailer. That way I can haul a Jon boat or kayaks. This would give me about 8-10’ on the rear of the trailer to park an ATV, and any other gear I need to haul. But before I do any of that I need to replace the axles on the trail, and 2 axles with brakes are expensive.

He means the same thing as when some people think toilet paper comes off the bottom of the roll versus it coming off the top.

:tearsofjoy: I tell my wife every time I find a new roll not put on the holder (bc she goes through it most) I throw the entire roll in the toilet, can’t be flushed it has to be taken out. Took only 1 time and she doesn’t leave a new roll off the holder anymore lol

There is a reason my wife and I use different bathrooms.
 
Opus was that overland pop up I was referring to earlier, if they have an American equivalent I’d like to know, they have some nice ones but nothing like this that I see.
 
If I had the money I’d buy an enzy trailer. Or, if I could build anything better than a starter Lego set, I’d build one.
 
I have been looking online last couple days at diy camper builds. Pretty cool ideas out there. Most are just using a trailer for the frame and go from there. Got an old pop up frame trailer that I'm pretty sure is gonna be a camper build.
 
Just buy a 40’ 5th wheel, and camp in comfort!

We have an Rpod 179 and love that thing. Pulls great, super simple. The people before us kept it in good shape. I did have to replace the batteries and the AC/DC converter but that was no big deal. The cost wasn’t fun but I did all the work so I guess I “saved” money. Works great as a hunting camper but we use it mostly for camping with my wife and kid.

Just bought this in the spring. Pulls easy. Only 3000 lbs. Has a surprising amount of room. Has shower and crapper, fridge, mini kitchen. It’s a 2010 and still looks great.

I bought a 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer and converted it into a stealth camper. I pulled it with the 4runner from Gulfport Mississippi to Anchorage Alaska.
My wife and I just got back from a weekend trip to Seward, Alaska camping in the trailer. It has brakes on it. It is insulated and has a roof that can support the weight of me walking on it. I have a bench that slides out to make a queen size bed, a harbor freight workbench for a kitchen counter, and an 1800 W power station. It has a short power connection with a 30 amp breaker box, two receptacles inside, a light switch for the two 4 foot LEDs on the ceiling. I can use the microwave, coffee maker, CPAP machine, power tools, etc. I even have a built-in, DIY shower. It drains through a hole in the floor. I plug the hole when I’m not using the shower. I recently mounted a propane tank on the tongue and gave the trailer a 3 inch lift (not seen in the photo).

I really like that idea. Not sure if I'd be able to sell the wife on it. Windows on a camper somehow don't seem as necessary as windows on a house. How often do you sit in a tent and look outside? Natural light is nice, but so is not dealing with leaks, and being insulated and warm when it's cold out.
 
My wife and I were talking about a pop-up camper on Marketplace the other night. I think I'd rather have a hard-shell of some sort, with some indoor plumbing. Y'all with pop-ups... how do they handle the cold? Snow? Anything we get would primarily be a summer toy but I'd want something that could conceivably be used year-round.

Pop ups are nice when the weather is nice. It's raining, you get to your camp site. Get out in the rain and try to set it up!
