Make Your Own Trailer/caravan?

Top job there and that beetle looks so much better without the ugly front half.

The front and the back were barely distinguishable!

Great work @Jimmy007, looks brilliant. Will you replace the windows with a tint or sheet metal, for security?

I like the way you have carefully retained and integrated the hand brake.

I guess you could have a humongous transporter trailer but the wheel position may induce too much nose weight on the tow bar.

I thought it was a 911.

I expect the normal tailgate.

 

[Johny]

I expect the normal tailgate.

I know, I know! I just thought it might do something...different?

 

[Jimmy007]

Why the cylinder shape on the new bulkhead? Designed / engineered to take something specific?

Looks good

No just to give it some character, it actually made it a bit bigger inside

Which bit opens to gibe access?

Last year at the Telford show there was a company selling what appeared to to be the rear of a T5/6 as trailers, I don’t suppose anyone can remember what company was called......... I have an idea which might allow me to be excepted at Camp Jam

Will do

Are the wheels at the back of the trailer rather than in the middle? Surely that will mean a massive nose weight?

Haven’t even started yet !
Plans are similar to yours but shorter as removing complete cab, my plan is a camping trailer so pretty much a rolling empty box

Mine downfall is the fact I can’t weld so need someone to do the important bits

Given the way transporter prices have increased, that's all £10k will get these days
