My camping trailer project , will it work ? .
Ok , I managed to pick this up today , just 5 miles away , it will be good as an extra work trailer , and I want to build a removable camping pod to fit it when needed , managed to haggle him down to £500 in the end
First thing to do is find out if I can fit one of my extra sets of D3 wheels to it with some messing around , or do I just find some nice ones the same size ?? -------------------------------------------------
if you cant hold on dont let go , it ill come in handy for something even if you never use it.

I want it to sit on , not in , it will be easier to bolt it to the top edge , then that will leave space under to slide a gazibo in and fire wood etc -------------------------------------------------

What you need is an old caravan body on stilts. I've seen some that you reverse a pickup under, then lower it down.

You could have box section on each corner so when you lift it off it will have 4 legs hanging down that drops in the original box that's there if that makes sense,you wouldn't need to bolt to the top edge then that's if it's man enough can't tell without seeing it which I might do tomorrow when I'm down Wanted D4s non runners pm for competitive price.

Yeah, but make sure you put some sealant in there first
