At 6:51I hope that you redid those welds and any others like it. Did a lot of Mig welding myself when employed at a horse and cattle trailer manufacturing company. Those need do be redone.

I love Inkscape. I have plans to build one someday

That frame looks like it would weigh more than an entire vintage travel trailer!

Thanks for the video.I learned a lot, ready to weld my own Kei truck Micro Camper!

That is a beast of a trailer to take you well into the apocalypse. 😁

Those magnets were ingenious. I'm glad you started from scratch and I'm looking forward to the new build.

I’m honestly surprised he didn’t throw a layer of bondo over it to keep it from rusting out so it would last forever😅

Love the chassis design. Never though of a T bar for the main drawbar. Will build something similar in the near future.

Eddie 2.0 in progress....please standby. Very cool to see the very first steps. Hopefully this video shows a lot of people just how much work is involved in the planning & cresting of the frame. Just think every camper out there started out just this same way.

I recommend bolting the hitch (with nice big washers) instead, because hitches tend to be a consumable in my experience

What was the weight of the project at this point (Frame + axle/wheel)?

Great project, Scott. I knew you'd figure out something spectacular. Our friend built their camper from his design, but he made the frame with Chrome-molly (sp?) Very strong but light in weight. Good Luck with the remaining work you have cut out for yourself.

Hey! Your magnets work a little better than my Harbor Freight ones. LOL

Why did you choose 2 layers? Why did you choose an axle with leaf springs?

That’s interesting that they didn’t square the axle to the frame.

Maybe I missed it somewhere but, did you ever weigh the bare trailer?

That's going to be a stronger trailer than any mass production camper built with light gauge stringer channel stock.

Great inspirational work, Scott. What is the thickness of steel tubes on the bottom sub-frame? Thank you for sharing.

Excellent guide... Would it be much more difficult to install a sliding mechanism in the frame for a slide out room, or to make a detachable hitch?

Total cost of trailer build?

Please more information about the dimensions and sizes of the main chassis

Very nice build, well done! These wheels have a bolt pattern of 5x5, while your axle hubs should be 5x4½. Did you use an adapter?

Now you take the frame to powder coat i guess? Well(d) done! 👍😁

@DrenalinAdventures

2 жыл бұрын

I was surprised how little info there is. I spent a lot of time researching my design. I sent it to my friends who had various backgrounds and made changes based on their recommendations. I wouldn’t change a thing to my design now. Very happy with it.

Are there any guidelines or general rules of thumb to consider when determining material dimensions and things like floor joist spacing etc.?

What size tires did you have on there and what was the ground clearance after you mounted the axelon top of the springs

Do you have the design plans for the trailer you built posted on your channel?

Nice! Where did you get the wheels?

Great video. The best I've seen. This is something I'm looking to do myself. Novice question - what type of metal did you use for the frame?

Yes,, as long as you are a decent welder,, if not so competent, get some scrap and practice till it gets better, then go hard,, I have just begun a similar project and it will be all arc welded,

What is the wall thickness of the steel square tubes used in the bottom layer of the frame? 1/4"? (The music cuts out the audio at that moment). 01:20

kudos for building new. But inkscape is the worst ever.

Gee, did you weight the frame and its axle?

@DrenalinAdventures

As soon as I get it on the road I'll be bringing it to a scale. I know how much the steel weighed.

Canadian content is welcome. The only issue I have with US builds, is that the dollar exchange rate, the sheer number of outlets, and availability of parts compared to Canada is insane; American builders just don't know how good they have it. Of course, living half way to the Arctic Circle, actually 2km, south of the continental divide, doesn't help!!! Lovely welds...

can you link to the source of the research you did for setting up the axle? I've got the capability and desire to build a trailer but don't know where to start as far as design
