A few things that jump out at me are.
Harsh trails and trailers generally don’t go together. A lot of people that do hard core wheeling with a trailer usually go with a small Expo trailer with a roof top tent. Or put the tent on the truck and the trailer just carries the kitchen, water, fuel things like that.
You want a shower in side and your 6 foot tall, then you want 40” tires? You’re going to be over 8’ high. Oops I missed the pop up part.
40” tire are what 10”-11” wide? A few inches clearance each side on a 6’ wide, your pushing 8’ wide. That alone will illuminate a lot of fun trails. A lot of people say you want the trailer tires to track the TV’s tires. That seem tough to do without building into cabin.
One of the things that concerns me is a lot of people are getting trailers to go off-road. And I am one of them building an off-road teardrop. I saw a video on Overland Portal of some guys showing how though their trailer is and dragged it on trails it had no business on. If it was on private property, no problem. But that is what will get trails shut down.
When I started my build I wanted a hard core off-road teardrop. But when I really looked at how we’ll use it I made some changes. We are not hard core wheelers, more just like to get off the beaten path. So I really changed the the build and added more comfort stuff.
Looking forward to the build.
