Any Bigger Designs?

Postby CampsyPls » Tue May 21, 2024 9:13 pm

Hey, I'm new here, so I'm just going to put this here. I've been really interested in living in a camper or RV or something recently, but none of the layouts and stuff just doesn't agree with me, so I was thinking of building my own. Do you know of any bigger design plans, or where I could find any bigger design plans, or has anyone on here ever done a bigger one or anything like that? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate you.

A few years (or more!) back I saw the build log of a chap who put two HF trailer frames end to end (bolted, welded...I don't recall), set the axles in a tandem configuration at an appropriate point on the frame, and went over the 4' HF frame on each side for extra width. Check the Instructables website.

For another one, check out this thread in the South Central page of the tnttt site: "Super Tear is under way Updated 10-24-11;" screen name "vairman." Another fellow SC member built one, too. I think it was "spinnernut."

Check out DIY forums, Pinterest, and YouTube for larger design plans for camper/RV builds. You'll find plenty of inspiration and advice there.

Also look at cargo trailer conversions, there are some bigger ones:

Have a look in the Vintage Plans at the top of the page. There’s a few standy designs you could adapt.
