Rear cargo box bolted on.

The cargo box will use two locks. I've got one key for the two locks, coupler and hitch.

Paddy is ready to roll......................

Coming out as planned!

The deck is 6' long for towing. In camp I'll add an almost 20" extension that I easily bolt to the front of the main deck.

I added 4 pulls to each corner to tie down the tent and fly. I also drilled a hole for the corner poles so everything stays in place.

4' frame extended now to 6'

Now I've got a almost 4' wide by 6' long trailer base!

Trailer Jack added

Side table mount.

This will be the same set up as the cargo travel trailer. I can borrow one of the side tables and leg support to use as a counter top space.

Cargo box to be mounted off rear of trailer.

The 2 x 3 steel tongue allows me to slip in a piece of 2 x 3 wood. I'll add another two supports, one on each side. This cargo box can be locked too.

Bivy tent arrived

Here's a mock up of how the tent will be.

I just used extra boards from the garage to support the tent until I build the front deck. Remember that the front deck will be stored on the main deck and will be put into place once in camp.

The tent has two doors with screens. My thermasrest mattress fits perfect.

Tent topper for trailer base

This is the tent I purchased.

Instead of the cot as the base I will simply use the trailer bed.

Bivy size 82"L x 30"W x 38"H.
I need to add a 34" extension to the front
of the mini-camper.

Cabela's Cot/Bivy Tent

Two-in-one versatility – either lock this tent on top of one of our premium cots, or set it up as a stand-alone bivy.

It's built to the same rugged specifications as the rest of our legendary tents, with a heavy-duty nylon taffeta body, rain fly and seam-sealed floor. Adjustable No-See-Um mesh panels. Attaches securely to cot with corner tie-downs. Includes hanging gear loft, stuff sack and aluminum stakes.

New idea for this trailer......

Have a multi use trailer.

Something easy enough to pull to Home Depot for mulch, stones, soil, etc.

Something to add a tent top to camp and sleep off the ground.

The trailer tongue has been extended to make it easier to tow and back up with.

The extra length also will provide additional deck space to accomadate the tent topper. This extra deck space will be removeable for towing.

Add one side rail for a table bracket to cook off of at counter height.

This little trailer has a lot of potential. The nicest part is that I can keep changing the design and the purpose of the trailer's use.
