2x8x16 treated is about $35.00 each, if you can find them. Lowes near me is out of stock.

$2000 is cheap compared to what you will go thru to make the camper frame functional and it will always look like a hokey rig.

To wit- I’m starting to build an airbag trailer because I don’t want to spend $10k on a new one for the little I’ll use it.

I’m also a jam up fabricator with a big shop, plasma, access to materials, lifting equipment etc.....and I still buy a lot of fabricated stuff because it’s so damn easy to buy it already built.

i bought a house a few years ago and the guy left 2 camper trailer frames. I had grand ideas. And every friend that came over wanted one if I decided to get rid of them.

Long story short once we really looked at the work it was not worth it. Finally had guy take both of them. My .02 is that the labor and material will almost cost as much as buying something new

It depends on what type of material you already have around to work with, and how well the frame was built. I've seen a few of those that had stout frames and some that had weak junk. The older ones seem to be much better.
If it were me, and the vehicles were short enough, I would make it a side loader, and just attach 4 pieces of wide channel, or some of that perforated metal ramp material, like you see on car haulers, across the frame and be done with it. If the vehicles are 8' long, or less, it would be legal, even a bit longer would probably be fine. Campers are probably a bit wider. I wouldn't try to make a fancy trailer, but good enough to haul those 2 vehicles securely. Of course, that depends on how well that frame is built. From what I've read of Rando's posts, he seems like the kind of guy who would be a good judge of that frame, suspension and axles.

Like 80% of your posts. You lard arse, lying piece of shite.

Josh, Rando posts photos, to back his talk up. Why are you hating?

I've got big pasty calves.and big thick ankles too, and when I'm doing stuff around the place, and wading off into scrap piles to look for ideas or pickin blackberries, I occasionally wade into some chiggers and stuff like that too. To look at me, you probably wouldn't think I'm much either, but I've done things and can tell about things that most folks can't even imagine.
Lots of folks think I'm a liar too. Those are usually the kind of folks that can't even do simple things like math, convert fractions to decimal without an electronic device, things like that.

Do you often share pictures of your kankles with the internet bragging about the hundreds of toe raises you can do and share made up stories of your sexual conquest?

No, but I'm old and I'm not very good on these computer things. I wish I had photos to show of some stuff, I would damn sure do it and brag about it. Taking photos and getting them developed wasn't always so easy.
You know though, there aint nothin wrong with some bullshittin either.

It did. It was just a thread about trying to do something with some leftover parts and pieces, then it became a personal attack on the OP. Doesn't make any sense.
