I'm wondering has anyone cut up a Sierra to make a camper trailer but keeping it light as possible
The mind wanders :beer:

Heaps of people have, but there are heavy.

Keep looking in this trailers and camping area, Zukenutter's trailer started like that and there's a few examples in the trailer mega merge thread.

The main issue with them, apart from the weight, is that the wheels tend to be too far back for a well balanced trailer, unless its quite short.

It doesn't feel too bad lifting from the drawbar feels like a reasonable balance. trying to keep light as possible
Pretty happy with progress what do you think would be an ideal trailer weight for behind a sierra(g16b)??

I'm looking at using a roof top tent on a 6x4 trailer, light and very easy to set up, and just have a basic water tank/pump set up, nice and easy
