    Camper to utility trailer conversion.

    So picked up a old camper frame on the cheap to throw a floor on and utilize as a utility trailer for smaller/lighter items. The trailer is about 5’ wide between the wheels. However it’s about 18’ long. Should I just go ahead and leave it 18’ or bite the bullet and cut down frame to about 10’-12’ and move the axle.

    Your choice, what ever size would better suit your needs.

    A lot of those older travel trailers are very collectible and are worth more than you'd expect. But maybe it's a "pop-up" tent trailer...those are a good victim for repurposing. I'd leave it as it is, slam a plywood floor on it, a couple coats of Varathane, and a layer of cheap vinyl flooring.
    Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.

    I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
