Build Your Own Camper Trailer

I have always loved traveling since my childhood.

Even after getting married and having kids, I have not abandoned my passion.

In fact now that we are six of us – me, my wife, my two daughters and two sons – I enjoy traveling even more than ever before.

All of us like to explore new territories and go off the beaten path. That is why we always drive to places rather than taking a plane, bus or train to our destination.

Initially when the family was small and the kids were tiny, we could stuff ourselves into our station wagon. But as the children grew, I knew I had to find a more lasting solution with regards to better accommodation while traveling. So I decided to make my own camper trailer. I started searching for DIY manuals for this project.

I fortunately came across this book, “How to Build Low Cost Motorhomes 2004 Edition” by Louis C McClure. The book is about how you can take a bus and convert it into a luxurious motor home. Although it was not about camper trailers per se, I knew I could use the information found in the book and use it to build my camper trailer.

The book had almost 150 photos, which really brought the content to life. The book also had tables, drawings and schematics that helped me get a clear idea of what the author was talking about. Once I understood the concepts, I tweaked the designs a little bit to suit the camper trailer I had in mind. The book also had a detailed list of tools that I needed for the project.

I was immediately headed for the hardware store to get all the tools mentioned in the book. The 136 pages of this paperback edition were filled with excellent information with which I could completely finish my camper trailer, which we use till this day!
