I made one from a 29 ft camper but took all the angel iron out replaced it with 3/8 inch 1x3 tube stock and put more braces in it more than it had . 300 dollars of decking on it had a 9000 pound winch on it hauled all kind of things then soled it for 900 years later when my truck broke down.

Sawzall’s, friends and beers! That a fun Saturday!

Bout to start building something similar with a 22 foot camper trailer but I’m gonna mount a pop up camper on the front part of the trailer

Allways wanted to do this. Towing 3 drift cars to the track on a 16ft trailer multiple times is allways a drag

I know its too late now but i would've keeped the little things coming off the sides only on the back so you could put taillight on em

I have an old gutted camper trailer that I recently decided to make a flatbed trailer for lumber

Beautiful job man. I'm getting ready to take on a very similar job. A camper frame and converting to a flatbed trailer. Without the side rails. But you did a great job and looks great. Thank you for the information stay safe!

Thanks for the positive comment. I would not do the rails again, would try and find strength somewhere else, maybe a rub rail. All of our machines are too wide now. lol. The way it goes.

I would put some mesh steel down the middle. Mite break a leg with 1 oops.

That trailer is long enough to where you can cut it in half and make a second trailer

I am doing the exact same thing this spring but a bit longer. nice job

Thank you!

The camper is part of the structure. Once thats removed you have to beef it back up with heavier steel and more bracing. As long as that thing is its always going to have flex in it.

Add 2 torque boxes at mid point between the space behind and in front of the axle will split the torque moments up into quarters. Problem solved. 😉

@@aaronwood3540 I don't think you understand what a torque box is. They are used all the time in industrial applications. Proper application of torque boxes will make it structurally sound and ridgid.

The threads arent what holds the boards on. Its the head that holds. Now the running them halfway through the board isnt good, but, sometimes it happens to get the board to draw down. With all that said, they wasnt the right screws to start with. You dont use deck screws on a trailer lol. Flooring screws is what you need. Pre drill every hole and the screw taps itself in.

In my non-professional opinion: You need to add a spinal torsion tube of 2 inches or more. Bridge arches are a very good design, but not enough for such dimensions.

Personally I would leave the sides and make it that wide

That needs to be a tri-axle spread.

what do you mean by spread?? I understand tri axel but do you mean that the exxles neeed to be spread apart few feet? how would that turn if the axels are spaced way apart?

wonderful job. So the original frame was way insufficient to carry the load looks like.

Yes it was really flimsy. Maybe good enough to carry some wood planks or light long material like panelling, plywood, etc. thanks for watching!

I would love it to be muliti pourpse car and boat trailer just pop on or up the rails

@@twistedsxs2426 Hey it came out great good job! I took one is these and reinforced the frame with 4” C Channel snd cut it down from 26 ft to make a 18ft car hauler with a 2 ft dovetail and am making drive over fenders and maid it 92” wide. I also got another camper frame that’s 20ft long and maid it 8ft wide and built s tiny hosue on it!! And took a 5x10 small camper maid it into a trailer and welded 3ft tall sides and used expanded metal for the trailer to use it to haul atvs mowers or scrap metal or small demelition stuff.
