    Trailer progress update via Instagram..

    "The framing for the walls and lifting mechanism on the bottom half of the box are tacked in place now.

    Also, swipe right for reference photos with me both beside and inside the trailer that'll show the size of it so far. Keep in mind that my trailer is on 40" tires whereas a current "industry standard" offroad trailer is typically on 33s or at most 35s.

    The interior is going to have just the essentials -- electricity and water -- but be wildy versatile at the same time. In sleep mode it can fit up to 4 adults comfortably; in lounge mode it can fit up to 8 adults comfortably.

    Oh, and.. it'll have a shower inside."

    I give you a lot of credit for taking this project on. Creative and quite a bit of work. Looks like it’s going to be bigger than others I have seen, any idea how much it will weigh?

    Estimated weight dry is 1,000-1,200. The top of the trailer is still lower than the cab of my truck by about 6". I'm 5'9" for reference in the photos.

    Have you considered using MDO (medium density overlay) for the wood portion? @Spvrtan MDO is what truckvault builds their drawer systems out of and i feel like this could be a great application. Although more expensive than plywood it is actually lighter in weight and I have found it at most of my local lumber yards in various thicknesses.

    Just thought I might throw it out there for something to look into. I am excited to follow this as I know it is gonna come out amazing!
