It had jack knifed the tow hitch was snapped off at the ball.


This is how it looks today, still have a couple of weekends work before its ready for rego, but its starting to look how I thought it would.





I used the caravans wheel arch moulds and mud flaps as a nod to its former life

The wooden cabinet is intriguing!

As to the Jayco parts - they’ll be fielding calls from people who want one of their car trailers.

Good practical build, it looks. Any hydraulics planned to tilt it for loading?

No hydraulics, the ramp angle is pretty good, I made the rear of the trailer drop enough with the long ramps to allow my sons lowered 180SX to drive up without the use of extra ramps, I also have made some timber mini ramps to help with anything lower, the angle is lower than my tilt tray used to be so should be fine.
