My pop up camper to utility trailer conversion.

Post by MobileAudio219 »

My uncle had a pop up trailer sitting beside his shop. We got to talking and he said that mice ate some holes in the canvas, and that he was thinking about selling it. We ended up working at a deal, I did a few hours weed eating, he gave me the camper (with clear title.)

The original plan was to rip the old camper about, and build a tear drop trailer onto the old frame.... The pop up had a nice stove, sink, water pump & tank, beds, etc... so I ripped all that out! Then I decided I wanted to find a 7' x 14' cargo trailer and convert it into a mini travel trailer, which would be more family friendly.

So now I had this pop up trailer that I didn't want/need, so one day my uncle Dale and I decided we were going to strip it down... and by strip it down, I mean we ripped it apart using his 4wd ranger and a chain... The whole event was good for more then a few laughs... The new plan was to build a nice little utility trailer.

Here's what the trailer look before, and then after... and then with some new treated deck boards.

And then I build some kick ass fenders and side boards... and then I painted the frame gloss black... and then welded the spare tire carrier on the front there.

I'm going to get a LED wiring/light kit and wire that bad boy up... and make a little tailgate... and then I'm done.... stop yelling at me swan!

When it's all said and done I'll have about $130 into the little bass-turd <--- see what I did there? I'm also humping my bed while I type this - my wife is looking at me very strangely... it's a serta I think - if anybody cares...

Shampoo is better,

Justin.

You had me at LED

Condition is better, it leaves the hair silky and smooth.
