If you’re looking to upgrade from sleeping in the dirt with just a tent and sleeping bag, or just want to take more of your camping gear with you on trips, a utility trailer camper may be perfect for you. These lightweight units can be towed by almost any car or truck, and are great for hauling additional camping equipment to remote locations.
Whether you choose to build your own trailer, or buy a DIY kit, there are plenty of plans available online. Depending on your needs and budget, you can find plans for a basic dinette trailer that sleeps two people, or one that is bigger and has room for a roof top tent.
In addition to being simple and affordable, utility trailers are also great for storing larger items that would be difficult to fit inside your vehicle. The generous storage capacity of these trailers allows you to bring everything from cooking equipment and tents to camping chairs, coolers, and even a portable shower. You can also load up sports gear like kayaks, bikes, and motorcycles for more adventurous outdoor adventures on your camping trip.
Chud, a DIY enthusiast who creates videos for his YouTube channel, built this incredible camper on a utility trailer. He used plywood to make the shell, and he installed a roof with just over six feet of headroom. Inside, he has a mini fridge, four wide bunk beds, and plenty of space for camping gear.
