Departure angles make this build something that will be in all the next OVERLAND trailer probuilds... not to mention getting power to the axle.. The round camper is so RETRO... very cool..
@jeffmcdonald101

Totally deserves some time in the public spotlight. While not essential, it would be super easy to electrify the rear axle. It would take some software trickery to get the proportional drive power to match what you want given trailer angles, tyre size or ratio differences etc, but absolutely doable. Could do it on an Arduino or something super cheap and simple. Surely someone on here can code it for him. I can't think of a way to power it from the Deathstar effectively and without making a cluster.

Mike this thing is actually super cool. Stoked for you dude. You're going to have a ton of fun in that mate! The additional wheels at the front is a great idea. You could even use some of those rollers that go on boat trailers and put them across the whole front on a single axle and not just the corners. I've seen bearing mounted ones and they are meant to take a lot of abuse!

I think Mike's idea of putting the small tire on the front bottom corners of the trailer is a pretty good idea. Camera man down. Hope it did not hurt too much. It's doing pretty well now but I wonder how it will do once it is finished out on the inside and loaded out for a camping trip. It will weigh a bit more when it's finished and loaded with food and camping equipment.

When you add the interior, everything must be contained. Nothing like throwing away your broken food containers. There is a reason that it is illegal to ride in travel trailers. They are not structurally sound when rolling over. They tend to fold up and kill the occupants. Add a roll cage to that thing if you intend to ride in it, please. I pulled a pop up camper with my Jeep on many trails (50 years ago). Tore the hell out of the inside first time. Had to replace the wood floor with sheet metal etc. to keep the mud and dirt out. All the labels on my food cans came off because they got encased in mud. I had surprise meals for several weeks.

Hey Mike, what if you had a switch that read the vacuum on the engine and would apply electric motor power to the camper wheels when the engine was under load? SIX-wheel drive when needed, automatically! Then it could switch off when not under load. LOL, A steering wheel on the tong jack and some cleaver controls and it would be so cool to motor around in camp without the truck! 🤔 🙄 🤪

Now watch The Long Long Trailer @1953 starring Lucy & Desi. All it needs is a few pieces of aluminum sheet metal pop riveted on the holes, and then a comfy interior. Ikea makes some super light bed frames for cheap. Throw a piece of foam on it, and you have a bed that weighs about 10 pounds. Weld up an ice chest holder, cut a hole in a 5 gallon bucket's lid for a bathroom, and you are just about done.
