How To Build An Overland Trailer (DIY Camper Trailer Frame Design)

[@lewispond9876]

Clever impromptu rotisserie! 👍

[@infosponge]

Thanks 👍

[@OttoMatieque]

looks like a nice start if you got taller horses, you would have a fancy assembly rotisserie

[@infosponge]

That would be cool!

[@thatguy5586]

Awesome… what part of the country you live? Love to it in person one day. You have inspired my build with your plans

[@infosponge]

Im in Colorado.

[@thatguy5586]

@@infosponge I am also in CO. I work in Denver for fire dept and Live in mountains. Would you let a stranger pick your brain ? :) lov to learn where you got some of supplies and the skin of the trailer. Great build!!

[@infosponge]

@@thatguy5586 sure thing

@@infosponge what we be a way to contact you?

[@benavidesmauricio]

Hello! I love your project!. It is posible to share your blueprints?… also in your video you said the box has 4x8.. feet? What is the measure unit?

[@infosponge]

Correct, the frame is 4x8 feet. The video has a drawing of the design at 0:53.

[@pholoco9188]

Great video. I love the details of your explanation. Where and how much was the labor on the trailer frame. I see you’re from Colorado. How long did it take for them to make it for you?

[@infosponge]

My neighbor owns a structural steel company. He just had a couple of his welders do it after hours for $250. Only took a few days.

[@jamesbushman8777]

Awesome Vid, How did you work out the load carrying capacity of the chassis ? Cheers James Australia

[@infosponge]

I just looked at a bunch of commercially built ones and made mine stronger. Also had my structural engineer friend have a peek at the plans.

[@ES-vt4zn]

Can you give me a ballpark number for the fabrication cost for the frame. I’m about to build something similar and I’m also going to have a pro weld the frame up. You’re making good progress! Thanks

[@infosponge]

I will be doing a video on that soon. The total cost for the rolling frame was about $3500.

[@mattmatthiessen7743]

Looking at your schematic...I'm trying to determine the actual length of the 2x2 spine. Given the fact that you inserted the receivers on both ends...I understand there can be some fluctuation in spine length (since you just insert it into the receivers further. But, if you had the length that would be great to know. Based on the design spec, am I correct to say it's about 11' ???

[@mattmatthiessen7743]

???

[@infosponge]

11’

[@roarkependleton]

I've really enjoyed watching your videos - gives me reassurance that i too can build one! Any chance you'd want to share the design you showed at the 0:55 mark?

[@infosponge]

Thanks, will this help? www.tnttt.com/download/file.php?id=29582

@@infosponge yes! Thank you!

Hope its helpful!

[@thatguy5586]

Ballpark what does that frame weigh?

[@infosponge]

About 300lbs

[@gbs7144]

I don't think you gave the specs of the 3 center cross pieces of steel. What size, shape and thickness?

[@infosponge]

1 X 1 X 11 GA SQUARE TUBING

[@freddierichards5520]

Awesome trailer!!! Would you be able to help do the computer work or layout design for me in a similar size to help my build??? Ty and im willing to support however etc$$.

[@infosponge]

Don't really have the time, sorry.

[@troyhaslam2093]

Do you sell the plans at all

[@infosponge]

Thought about it but I haven’t put the plans all together yet.

[@troyhaslam2093]

Do you have just the frame dimensions at all

[@infosponge]

@@troyhaslam2093 they are in the video

[@pravinkumar1345]

Name of the software used for design????

[@infosponge]

Google sketch up

[@mimichepertuis7821]

Do tout have wachatte ?

[@infosponge]

Not sure what you are asking.
