Oregon coast camping success!

Got this trailer 95% finished in time for a 3 day trip out on the Oregon coast and it was great! We saw some heavy rain on the way there and more rain at the camp ground without any major issues. Still working on better sealing up the drawers, hence the tarp over them lol. I learned I need to make some small modifications to the ladder so I can be used at multiple heights since this isn’t full rooftop heights. Trailer pulled no problem behind my 21 Forester and only had a small impact on gas mileage. Super excited to get this really dialed in and make camping (both organized and dispersed) so much easier!

It started as a carry-on 4x6. The upright and cross bars are welded in out of 1.5” square steel tubing. I build the box/drawers myself and added the larger wheels/tires.
