Amazing! The detailing is superb. How long did it take to design and build?

Steve,
Very interesting suspension geometry? Looks like Anti-roll bar and leaf springs in one? Steve |

Wid camper, that is a really tidy build, kudos to you.
I needed it for be a practical trailer too, though I just hit an issue. I'm always going on about lack of space...well now I need to get the v8 out and about, the trailer is definitely in the way and I'll need to get it out of the drive and back in every time I need to get the v8 out So I just stuck it on eBay. if it doesn't go in a week, it'll have to live at work. Steve, it's leaf spring with a hefty 'axle' holding the hub assemblies on. It should hold quite a bit of weight! |

Looks to me as though the axle has been cranked to improve ground clearance under the centre. Unusual, certainly, but not a bad idea. |

It looks home-made to me.
Edit - for the avoidance of doubt, this comment refers to the trailer at the start of the thread not Wildcamper's magnificent camping trailer. Last edited by blackwolf on 29th Mar 2017 10:36pm. Edited 2 times in total |

Built it over 5mths at weekends mostly just sundays, its got a bespoke tubular chassis, all baltic birch ply with 50mm kingspan in between skinned in 1.2mm aluminium, 10ft x 5 1/2 ft that was the hard bit , the reason it looks right is the size, seen others try it at 8x4 which is much easier as u don't need any joints in a ply sheet but it looks wrong. Might be for sale this year as I'm thinking of building another
