I need a trailer. And it needs to be a closed one. So I bought a cheap caravan chassie and found my old party tent. Next I went to the metal dealer and got some roof sheets that they wanted to get rid of. The hole think has costed me about 5000kr (500euro) in material costs. Next week I am going to do a new registration certifikation. It costs 1400kr. Anyway, I am building just what I need for a fare amount of money.
Next I am going to mount the wing storage mounts and some attachments in the floor for the fuselage. Later I will make a foldable table in the front with some toolboxes under and a small door to get in from the front.
Jag är ett sätt att tänka.

How did you mount the tent frame to the trailer?
Hi. I just bolted it to the floor. The side walls were also screwed in to the floor.
Not counting the boat trailer, about how much did the other raw materials end up costing you? I’m building something similiar, I already restored the boat trailer part, adding a floor, then going up with that with metal siding.
Hi Choppergirl. I just used an old party tent as a frame. It costed about 150EUR. And the metal sheets costed about 100EUR. But if I would do it again I would use plastic roofing sheets instead of metal, because of the weight.
