Bumper pull camper mounted on cab & chassis ideas

[JohnnyM]

Oooooo nice link, Tx. Thanks for posting that. That page has some good stuff on it.

I go off-roading with my daughter and her fam sometimes and one of my favorite things on those trips, besides the camping, is seeing all the cool home-built camper/atv haulers that they bring out to the ATV parks. Those ATVrs ain't afraid of nuthin'

So go for it, AaronB. Get that torch out and go to cuttin'! It'll turn out just fine.

Dropping a travel trailer onto a flatbed truck or cab-n-chassis is not common, as in 'you see one every day', but they are out there. It ends up being a kind of motorhome, but without the normal pass-thru from cab to cabin. 

Well, unless a pass-thru is fabricated afterwards, of course.

Not having ever built or bought or sold one, I suspect they tend to lose value quickly, because the resale market for DIY franken-rigs can be kinda weak in most cases, unless you have done an unusually excellent job of it. 

I could be wrong, of course. And if resale is, and will always be, a non-issue, then you dont have to worry about that at all.

Check this out for some ideas. I always thought this was a cool build, even if it was a bit out of my skill zone. You can see if some of the concepts work for you.
