Thread: off-road 7 x 4 tradesman trailer

Hey Heggs I recently bought a 6 x 4 builders trailer to do the same except the drivers side will have shelves not for camping gear but my tools of trade with the intention of a working/touring holiday of the big island. Have not got to the fit out stage as yet but have a few ideas and will be keeping those interested up to date via my thread.

Thanks Tassie i will have a look at your progress, I should have the trailer completed in about 3 weeks i will post some pictures when its finished.

what i did when i set up the boys ute to charge a remote battery is to put a 30 amp thermal circuit breaker in line. Of course a normal circuit breaker/fuse will do fine.

Hi Heggs.

I am in the process of doing basically the same thing to my mowing trailer.
Slide in kitchen is finished, which also has a 12v power center with numerous cig plugs, anderson plugs and 240v panel with 15amp caravan input plug.

I had a few days at a van park at South Ballina last week.
Everything worked a treat.

Next step is the tent to go on top.

I found MySwag.org The Off-road Camper Trailer Forum - Index to be a great resource for all things campertrailerish.
Kitchens, living on 12v, gear good and bad.

Thanks Mejohnno,
I found that webforum yeterday and have registered for it just waiting for the reply email, as soon as mine is built I will start a thread with pictures of the fitout.

I looked around at buying a second hand trailer and then modifying to suit but after looking for over 12 months and not being able to find something not requiring major work I made the move to have it custom made to my own specs. it has cost a few more dollars than i wanted to spend but hopefully it should last many years.

Have you got any pictures of your setup?
