Slide-on Camper Trolley
Designed for storing a camper in a low height carport.
When fully lowered, the camper base rests on the frame - not on the legs.
The aim of the trolley is to be the next best thing to being as simple as hitching on a caravan....
- A one step process when loading the camper compared to a normal trolley underneath.
- Has the ability to lower the camper down to approximately 240mm off the floor so it can be be moved and stored, for example in low carports, which for the Active Camper gives an approximate minimum height of 2100mm.
- Be easy to maneuver.
- Be sturdy when moving
- Disassembles for ease of transport and storage
2100mm Clearance
To achieve the lowest position for storing in low areas (2079mm for an Active Camper Advantage), each leg is repositioned so the bottom of each leg (outer tube) is level with camper (new holes in leg frame required). This requires supporting each of the corners on the base of the camper, so one at a time as each leg is repositioned (eg using a car jack stand).
*Please Note: The motorised jockey wheel and mounting assembly shown in the images and video below is not included in the standard trolley.... it's still a work in progress!
2000mm Clearance
With this trolley, the above camper can be lowered down to 1990mm by replacing the castor wheels with lower profile wheels and using leg extenders on the back as used on the front of the camper. This allows the back to sit further down, with the camper rails sitting level with the top of the frame
1950mm Clearance
With a modification to the frame by mounting the cross braces below the frame, the camper could be lowered an additional 50mm.
Trolley Video*
Here's a video providing an overview of the trolley. The trolley disassembles to a small package which can then be conveniently transported anyway around Australia. If you have a similar challenge with carport size, let me know at chrish@youthfulmidlifetravel.com
