Not sure Glen
But proberly going to put a lot of it back on with the frame im making . The guy i got the metal from suggested using 1.5mm thick tube ..that would cut down on weight , but i wanted it good and strong in case i ever go down the roof tent road .
Too be honest ..the G4 cant get any worse on fuel ..so the weight of the trailer is not going to be an issue ( i hope )G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Fag packets , post it notes , lots of A4 paper...everywere
Dont want to give too many secrets away yet ...but will include
Fridge , Kitchen , hot water / shower , energy center ( ) including dual batterys , inverter for mains supply ...and a few other bits .
The basic shape is just going to be a box ...but trying to utilise the space with pull out slides and storage areas .
One of the planned sketchs may have to be ditched ..other wise it would cost me a fortune in hinges and locks .G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Super project you got going there Adrian.
Nice to see it from the start to where you are now.
Looking forward to the next build installments.

Ditto all the positive comments Wiggs. Looks great, I'd be interested to know what a self-build will cost compared to buying a ready made trailer.
Good work!

Thanks for all the positive comments chaps
Disco George ...im trying to keep a rough idea on the cost ..but obviously it would depend on what the individual wants ( or prepared to pay )
An example is the gas tank . Seen a nice one that would fit under the chassie ...looks great , out the way , but nearly £500 . There's no way im paying that ..i would rather just use a normal gas bottle stored somewere safe .G4 Gone ...but not forgotten
