These days
where tight competition is almost everywhere, out of busy schedule, majority
will rather prefer to rent camper trailers for convenience. Among the campers,
however, there are still those who choose to buy and build their own. For
someone adequately skilled and equipped, building a camper trailer requires
dedication to work and large dose of patience while others will really rely on
assistance from a certified builder or professional. Below are suggestions on
how to build your own camper trailer.
Ø Create a floor plan presenting the
width, height, interior and exterior designs of your proposed camper trailer.
In regards to creative designs and ideas for different kinds of utility
trailers, look for helpful resources online so you can decide what type you
want to work on.
Ø Choose a utility trailer that
previously has a door so you will only need to cut the dimensions for the vent
and the windows. Make sure to mark the exact measurements before you cut the
frame using a hand tool or power drill.
Ø Metal fragments are expected to be
seen in each side of the drilled holes so it is best to smoothen out its edges.
This is also refers to de-burring.
Ø Proceed with the installation of the
vents and windows; make sure to securely connect them with screws or nails.
Ø De-burring helps but it’s still
advisable to carefully seal the borders and tips using exterior sealants or
tube guns.
Ø Add insulation materials inside the
utility trailer. You may use glue or go ahead and staple it to the frame
boards, cover it up with plywood or anything of your choice.
Ø According to your preferences,
provide coverings for your trailer floor.
Ø Set up electrical wirings in your
trailer for lights; add outlets for your fridge or any appliances. If possible,
use a junction box or perhaps, install a set of electrical wires for future
use.
Ø If there is enough space in your
utility trailer, you may also want to build your own cabinets, tables or
anything you like.
Now that
your camper trailer is complete, pack your blankets, sleeping bags, and all
camping items you need and be ready to connect it to your truck, mini-van or
car. With the type of camper trailer we have made, you can go anywhere you want
because any can haul it using a tow bar.
It is important to
remember that not only we value the things we made by ourselves but we build
them because we love doing it with passion and zeal.
