| Nicky enjoying the campfire next to the trailer |
Just after we purchased the cargo trailer, we took it out (as is) on a camping trip to get a better feel for the trailer and how we might want to set it up. We put two Coleman camping cots, a portable toilet, and the rest of our camping gear in the trailer and headed off to our favourite campground, Rollins Pond State Park, in the Adirondacks. The trailer towed great; it has a single 3500 lb Dexter torsion axle. We hardly knew it was behind our 2018 Ford Explorer; that being said, we still plan to add brakes to the trailer and an anti-sway bar for safety. Before this first outing, I had an image in my head of how I was going to convert our trailer into a camper; by the end of the weekend, Nicky and I had already started to tweak our original ideas. When we originally started looking into converting a trailer, we found many inspirational builds. Here are a few of our favourite builds:
