Trailer-dacha own hands: we are preparing for a distant journey!

Experienced travelers know that it is not always possible to spend a cheap and comfortable night. Therefore, for long journeys and having your own car, it's a sin not to buy a towbar and not to pick up a trailer-dacha. In fact, this is a house on wheels - such a small room with a kitchen, a toilet ... Well, in general, with all the objects of civilization. In such a "mini-hotel" it is possible not only that it is convenient to spend the night, but even to cook food for several people, and there to have lunch, and most importantly - absolutely free of charge! And today we will look at how the trailer-dacha is made with our own hands.

Running system and frame

The main component of any trailer is the frame. It is on it that all the load from the metal body (the "home" frame) lies, and from below the bridge, the beam and the wheels. By the way, about the chassis you will not have any special difficulties, because the construction of the trailer has no fundamental differences from the car system, with the exception of engine assemblies. Therefore, when the trailer-dacha is made with your own hands, as a running system, you can completely "tear out" a part of the wheels, springs and other suspension parts from an old car. For such a vehicle, any model of the car, whether it's Volga, Moskvich or Zhiguli, can fit.

How to make a trailer-dacha with their own hands? Designing rooms

And if the algorithm of designing a trailer from a conventional cargo variant is practically the same at the stages of the structure of the running system and the frame, then the body can face difficulties. The fact that the homemade trailer-dacha should really be comfortable and practical, so even on the drawing you need to develop a plan for the design and layout of all parts. Indicate where will be the bedroom, kitchen, and if it is a frame with a length of 5 or more meters, you can additionally install a bathroom. However, remember that every new room entails additional waste, which means that the price of a finished trailer will be significant. Moreover, in order to legally ride in such a hitch, you also need to register this vehicle in the traffic police. And this is at least several thousand dollars from the top. So do not overload your trailer with extra devices.

Option of completing

The most practical version of the self-made trailer is the construction, which has a built-in frame under the canopy (remember the legendary Soviet "Scythian"). When it is in the unfolded state, it turns out to be a kind of large tent. This significantly lowers the cost of work and the efforts expended on it. Such a trailer-dacha, made with his own hands, is very functional and at the same time convenient to use.

Trailer coupling and illumination

At the final stage it is worth taking care of how the finished construction will be attached to the towbar of the car. Also, a homemade trailer-dacha should have a pair of stop lamps and turn signals. In the center or on the side, consider the layout for the license plate and backlight it, the best is the LED light. Such a trailer-dacha on wheels will definitely be the best hotel for a traveler.
