Hello, researching this new world to me. Short story I have owned camper, sold it do to being bored with local camping areas. Now looking to build my first trailer with the 4x6 Lowe’s trailer and that is about as far planning as I got. My max pull in my Jeep would be 2000lbs. So that’s about it on to many adventures and hopefully a fun starting build. I will ask a lot of ? I’m sure.

If you don't mind me asking. How much did you get that for and where? I've been looking at surplus trailers for a bit now.

I built it up myself....the trailer was a search online....found it on Craigslist after a few weeks of looking....same with the utility bed. I'm putting it up for sale in a few weeks if your interested let me know. My FJ keeps overheating when I pull it but my Tacoma does fine....I use the FJ for my overlanding adventures...I'm going to be asking $7000 with the RTT included $6000 without....As I continue to work on it and finish it up the price will go up...

Thanks for the offer but I want to build one custom myself as well. Just looking for a project trailer for cheap that will possibly turn into a camper/tent utility trailer.
