Camper truck bed trailer.

I am thinking about turning my parts truck bed into a trailer and throwing my 1968 Winnebago on it and making it a little camper and then paint it to match my truck. Has anyone else done this. Any ideas or suggestions. Thanks

Re: Camper truck bed trailer.

I think it's a great idea. I have a bed that I plan to build into a matching camping trailer for my Jimmy one day. It's one of those plans I have had forever but no time. So, please do and share ideas!

Re: Camper truck bed trailer.

Here is one i built for all around purposes.

Worked great for camping, hauling tools to jobs etc....

But they can get expensive so keep that in mind.

This one has all the bells and whistles bed liner, custom rack on top extended tongue etc....

Re: Camper truck bed trailer.

Looks good Rods! Has it ever tried to tip? Three guys sitting on the tailgate when unhooked?

I can’t seem to find any rite now and I sold the truck and trailer a few months back so can’t take any.

Basically had a plastic slide in type liner witch made it easy to move things around and in and out.

Mine does.. I can't put a bag of feathers on my tailgate without it tipping but I hook it up to a trailer ball and I can load my four wheeler no problem.

Re: Camper truck bed trailer.

They are really nice for trailers and easy to make. I did one years ago. It's still going strong for my old friend.
