Overland Trailers

[trav87]

Teardrops Northwest had a sale going on for their unused rental models, and I've been mulling over picking up a trailer for over a year, so here's our new trailer! I think they still have 1 left if anyone is looking

The Timbren 3500HD can only be used with a 6 lug hub & 12" brakes. These are actually a 6000 lb axle.

The 3500 will be able to use a 5 lug with 10" brakes. These are a 3500 lb axle, and are 2" narrower than the HD version.

Running wheel adapters to make the 6 lug work on a 5 lug will increase the width by another 2", but if you can live with space adapters, and the extra width, you can use the same wheel as your tow vehicle.

Nice! I'll keep that in mind. I appreciate the info. I want to be able to run the same wheels on the trailer and my rig. That way, I'll have an extra spare.

Built this one in 2015. We love travelling in it, Been all over US, Canada, Alaska. It is fun having a home built trailer, you know how to fix what breaks. Still have it.

Very Nice!!!

To each their own. What works well for one, doesn't for another. The fun part in this hobby, is we get to do it how we want, and/or change it as we go.

My reason for having the box between the wheels, is for protection on the trails. It helps with Off camber rocking into objects and for brush rubs.

I made my full length fenders out of thick wall DOM tube, to act as sliders, and protect the body. Made external storage boxes to use the space above them, and a place to store propane tanks. So it's not a total loss of space this way. I can also stand on them when unpack/packing the RTT.

That looks sharp.

New here and started this trailer off a tractor supply. Plan was a roof top tent but thinking now to build a square top camper. Looking for more cabinets etc. current trailer is great but can’t take up the floor space as it pulls double duty to haul a quad and various other stuff.

Love seeing all your builds and trailers for ideas

That is basically what I am going to be starting with. I want to still use it for my 4 wheeler and riding mower. I've been researching the Timbren axle-less suspension to give it a smoother ride and a lift. I want to put 33" tires to match my Disco. Also an articulating hitch and receiver. I'm still in the planning phase. Probably 6-8 months before I'll be ready to start. (Finances permitting!)

Did you buy it or built it? It looks like it could still function as a utility trailer, could that be so?

I have a 1966 Stevens M416 we use to haul gear. Its basic & simple what more do you really need

Starting the long overdue work on making it a camper trailer. More to come as parts arrive.

Are you planning to move your spare tire? Leaving it under the tongue will let you find all kinds of high spots you never thought of. I tried that once on my teardrop, and drug the tire across the sidewalk getting out of my driveway.

I think this is the smallest overlanding Trailer that is around.

But it works extremely well.
It is called a Traileraroo.

It is a fun thing.

So far we are! Luckily we aren't under a shelter in place order, we've been out twice with it in the National Forest down the road from us.

My guess is a pack of Siberian hamsters. I could be wrong
