I wanted to split the trailer so that it was one third for the tent and its other bits and pieces and two thirds for all the other bits. I also wanted a hard top so that the bikes can be fixed on the top.
The idea is that the canopy on the tent is big enough to take the trailer so if it is raining the trailer can be pushed under the canopy, the large section opened and all the sleeping bags etc loaded up in the dry. shut the trailer, take the tent down and then load this in the small section so keeping the other stuff dry.
The trailer used to be a trailer tent that had already had a little conversion done to extend the sides
This was a decent base to work from but as the camping gear is always stacked past the sides i needed more height. I looked at materials and decided on softwood ply due to weight, This is not ideal for exterior applications but with a lot of priming and undercoating
Right stage one, was to draw out the design using the most up to date system available, a pen and a post it note, and then get the required ply.
The following was a few steps of the creation
Ok so this is as far as i have got at the moment.
All seems to be working so now ti is time for a lot of preperation and paint and work on the inside getting the sections seperated.
I will keep you informed as i carry on
