ive been dreaming this thing up since i sold my old 1964 15ft camper, that thing way way too heavy to tow behind the ranger which pretty much did me no good having since thats what i wanted it for.
and i got to thinking about it, since i have the bed off my ranger laying out back i might as well do something with it.
im thinking something along the lines of this except a little longer tongue so i have enough room to put a FS toolbox and a generator on the tongue
but obviously i want a camper shell on it to sleep under, most of my trips will only be a night or 2 so i just want something light that tows behind the ranger easily and holds all my junk for the trip
sorta looking like this, except lifted up to match the truck
i started on the tongue the other night with some extra tube i had laying around and i have more coming this week, its 2x2 3/16 wall should be good since im wanting to keep it light
the 3/8's plate is for mounting the jack off of, its 3/8's still have to run a hole saw through it and drill some holes to mount the jack
that all i have for now until the rest of the steel comes in
