I built this Square Drop Overland Trailer in 2021. Being a family man I needed to build on a budget, I wanted to build something small that would get my family and I out further in the backcountry. After a while a finally decided to build an offroad camper trailer. I started out by finding 2000lb Torsion axles on sale, now remember I had to build this on a budget. So most of the items I purchased was found on sale or at a lower cost then other items I could have purchased. I then decided I would purchase a small utility trailer to build the camper body onto. This made registering the squaredrop trailer that much easier.
The trailer took me less the 3 months to build. I did however purchase the Torsion Axles 6 months in advance. Do to the cost savings I did not want to chance not getting that price ever again.
Our squaredrop trailer sleeps two adults comfortably. There are 5 storage locations inside the sleeping area which also has a 12v Charging station. Allowing us to charge our phones, cameras and other accessories. The rear of the trailer has a full outdoor kitchen. This provides food storage above the main countertop and storage underneath. The camper trailer sits on 28” all terrain tires which provides 15” Ground clearance under the torsion axles. The frame measures 17” above the ground providing optimal clearance down the trail. I protected the campers exterior with Raptor Liner. Raptor Liner provides great protection from the outdoor elements.
