So, I just built an adventure trailer (a.k.a. a bug-out trailer, expedition trailer, camping trailer, etc.). Why?
- I love camping.
- I’d go more often if I didn’t have to haul my equipment in and out of the attic every time.
- I want to travel more. Camping is more frugal and fun than staying in hotels.
- One of the reasons I want to travel more, and more cheaply, is so I can afford to get around and teach Rough ‘n’ Tumble martial arts.
- Why a trailer and not a camper? A trailer is way cheaper than a camper. Besides, I have a mattress and a camper shell for my truck and sometimes I want to sleep in a tent anyways.
This thing cost me less than a thousand bucks to build. Here’s the breakdown:
Item | Amount |
Lowes 40″ x 60″ basked trailer | $ 459.00 |
Title tags, registration | $ 166.00 |
Hardware and accessories | $ 21.94 |
Paint and sundries | $ 61.10 |
Wood, glue, screws | $ 115.59 |
TOTAL: | $ 823.63 |
And here are some build pics.
Here’s to great adventures!
