Owyhee Trailer
Owyhee Trailer
We are working on an overlanding trailer concept. The key goal for this project is to provide a simple, lightweight enclosed hangout space that can be converted easily to sleeping...to be used as a basecamp for wheeling adventures.

We experienced the need for this while "winter" camping in the Owyhee Canyonlands when I wheeled my FJ Camper (and slept in my very cold RTT), but then used my brother's 1966 VW bus to stay warm and dry after returning to camp. It made us think that we are not alone in needing this kind of basecamp trailer.
