Just a little trailer I use for camping.

Post by SecondCamperSpecial »

I bought this a couple of years ago. It has some dents but solid. When I bought it it had a extruded metal home made tailgate and I found matching one on craigslist for cheap. We painted it and installed some accessories to make it easier to use. I pull this behind my crew cab on family vacations and behind my bump when going to far away swap meets.

My son sleeps in it when we camp. I installed a 12 volt battery and 12 volt fan. Put in a 110 volt cord and outlet.

Nice job! That's quite an improvement on that bump bed.

Now THAT'S just plain cool! :thup: Did you build a whole frame or just add a tongue to the existing frame rails?

LOL, my uncle has two bump trailers. One is going to be mine, painted to match my truck (when it's painted that is). Yours looks great! :thup:

I bought it as a trailer. The guy I bought it from brother owns a trailer store. It has a new axle and a home made frame. It trails real good. He added some poor fitting tail lights but I found factory ones to replace them. I have to come up with pig tails to hook up the corner lights.
