Nice Campa! I decided to get a trailer as well, as making a breaking camp sucks with a toddler, and we have another on the way. I almost bought a StarCraft 11RT:



But wanted more versatility. The "offroad pop-ups" are ok, but the interiors aren't up to the stress of off-road travel, and they're too wide. I really liked the Conqueror Conquest:



But they are expensive and I wanted a few changes. Mostly, I wanted a sleeping quarters for the kids sepearte from our roof tent. So, I made my own. One of the side hatches will store light stuff (chairs etc.) when on the road, but has a mattress inside that the kids will sleep in.

It's pretty much finished on the outside, just need to finish the sleeping area and kitchenette. It's a little bigger than the Campa or Conqueror, it's exactly the same width and height as my Discovery.



The other big difference is it's designed to carry a dirtbike across the front tongue, and possibly a second on a hitch carrier on the back which is why it has the reciever.

JS, you using a ball coupler?

I've seen your build before. :-) I didn't know you were in Canada... Cool.

Yup. Just a regular 6000 lbs ball and ball mount. The coupler on the trailer side is rather special though. It's made by Trailco. I don't know the model, but it looks rather like this: www .alko.co.za/pages/products/sigma.htm

Ah, you must be on Expedition Portal?

So your coupler can rotate? That's good, because regular ball couplers just can't move enough.
