Default Deans camper build...
Ok so no much to tell yet but just got myself a new 7x4 box trailer built to start my camper. Going to be pretty basic to keep it as light as possible. So far it's just the trailer and I had a wall welded into the front to make into a lock Box which will fit 7 Jerry cans. Te next step is to get my frame made up so the entire trailer will be enclosed and lockable. Here us a couple of pics so far.

Oh and I also put some king rims with 31 inch muddies on. And sealed all the seams of the trailer ad water tight as possible.

Not to sure just gonna get the top built and then work out the tailgate from there. That's going to be one of my biggest issues I think.

Na no bags and I dot think I'll ever have that many full cans in there its just got the space for them. Plus pretty sure it won't equal that much weight over the bar. Pretty sure it's a certain percentage. But I could more then likely be wrong.

Those wheels are well back on the trailer. You will need to put some heavy stuff in the back of it. Maybe consider mounting your Jerry cans on the back of the trailer. You could put a box on the the A frame. That space is a waste otherwise.
I have thought of making a tent that goes on top of the trailer & links to the back of the jeep.
You have the makings of a good camper trailer !!
