Hi folks

I have converted my ?X? (think its a 7X5) garden trailer into a basic campertrailer. Don't yet have the $ for anything flashier but this will do for a good while I'm sure as it is only me that will be using it. I added a tent to the top after getting some alterations to the trailer. It is only for onroad use but in time hope to get offroad with a better trailer. Have used the info from this site and love reading the content. I am absolutely useless at any DIY but do with the aid of this site aim to give a few things a go. Will post some pictures when I manage to read the info page on posting and hosting photos. Not much to see though, garden trailer with a tent on top and that's it!!

Welcome mate  :cheers:

I'm not too flash with the tools either, but theres usually enough advise  to be able to muddle my way thru some basic stuff whilst admiring the handiwork of others.

as long as were all enjoying what we've got, thats no.1 with me.

cheers,
