i used a 38 foot tri axl camper to make a flatbed trailer i'v had 14 ton on it no problems yet but it does have a i beam frame as long as weld good crossmembers on i think it be fine

 

I've seen several converted trailers now, and they seem to work out well. I'll know in about 2 weeks when I start the stripping process.

 

why wait i want to see it done now its like 1 of them there toy haulers on staioids right

 

Here's the camper...



Imagine it cut off right behind the first of the doubled window on the side (I'll swap out the doubled window for a single one from the other side). Front half will get cleaned up and refurbished to camper status, including a dinette that becomes a bed in the upper portion (tall enough to easily sit up). The 5' or so of camper left below will house a cabinet with stove/oven, and an ice box that I've made from an old smallish chest freezer (measures about 18" square - lined in stainless steel -- REALLY great cooler). Door goes in the back, so we can walk out onto the trailer.

The back half is flat-bedded, with a set of rails up over the tires that hold the truck. Sort of a half-wedge is what I have in mind, which will add a lot of triangulation. I'll re-use materials from the back half of the trailer to make the end wall so that everything matches. BLack lines show the wedge I have in mind. Red lines show how I plan the triangulation.



The Powerstroke is my kiddo's new ride. He just picked that up Friday. Looks as good inside as it does outside. May have the issue with the wiring harness under the valve covers, as the idle is a bit rough, but it pulls well.

 

sounds good so it will be done tomrrow or the next morining right

 

now that's a woman there..

next up is to move all the trees from the back yard to the front yard when u get sone with the camper project

 

It is going to be a while -- and not because of my wife. She's on board with this project, it was her idea to proceed. But, I have to get my rock truck built first. No need for a trailer if the truck is still in pieces. I'll probably spend a few hours stripping out junk and getting it into the dumpsters at work while they're there (campus move out time -- fill 'em up!), but most of my time will be on my Ranger.

 

trust me if i was a woman i wouldnt be on here cause i wouldnt need a truck as i whould never leave the house o the good times i chould have

 

hahaha wow i up there. i read the name as redneckchick11
