Explorer Box Gear Hauler

If you’ve been around the forum, you most likely have seen my Explorer Box Tent Topped Camping Trailer. If not, check out CCC Explorer Box. Based on feedback, I found some people interested in building a Gear Hauler version. These folks general already owned a quality ground tent and liked the idea of a Scout Chuck Wagon style trailer for camping. So for a Gear Hauler version, we found a nice adjustable aluminum rack system to swap for the tent unit.

As with the original Explorer Box, expanding the available space of smaller, fuel-efficient vehicles for camping adventures is a primary feature. At a dry weight of about 300 pounds a Gear Hauler version will not strain your vehicle while towing or destroy your gas mileage.

Enjoy and as always, love to hear your comments and feedback.

Schaney, I did a couple exploratory drawings, which I constantly study(drool over)...got a boat trailer in the yard just waiting for a "Box"...Being small and light and able to haul "stuff" makes it very attractive...
