This trailer is being advertised as a Motorcycle trailer, but I see potential as an Overland Trailer.
Looking for some thoughts from others if it would be a good base or if my plans / expectations would suggest that I would be better off to keep looking. I like the size of it. Not to big, not too wide. I like that it has a lifting lid and looks well constructed. I don't have the manufacturer name or model info. ###Update - appears to be a Mini Nomad - https://minitrailerusa.com/nomad-trailer.htm
What I would like to do is add an exterior frame for a Rooftop Tent leaving enough room for the lid to open a good amount.
I would want to have matching wheels from my Jeep on the trailer. I am running Rubicon factory takeoffs, 5x5 wheel pattern and a 255/75/17 (32") tire. I assume I could do an axle flip and add blocks if needed.
###Update - I believe I found the manufacturers specs online, suspension is listed as
That would be the immediate plans. Eventually I would want to add a deep cycle battery and solar setup. I would want a water tank of 15 gallons or more and I would consider having the rear converted into a tailgate.
Thoughts on this as a base of an Overland Trailer build?
Thanks

- Independent Torsion axles 600 lb
I am not sure I would have options to lift as needed or if this would be enough for the load I am wanting.
