adding trailer height m101 CDN 1/4 ton

#1 Post by rezdiver » Sun Apr 24, 2011 1:34 pm

i am looking at adding a removable solid box on top of my trailer and was wondering about height. the trailer is 42 inches tall as it sits, with the box on top it will be at 87 inches to the top. the box weight will be very little as it is all aluminium, probably 100 pounds.

this is going to be a custom camper box for sleeping and camping. and will have about 40 inches of head room inside.


my Iltis is only 70 inches tall. do you think 87 inches is too tall for the trailer?

as a reference a landrover discovery with a 2 inch lift is around 83 inches tall at the back.

i know i will probably lose milage with the extra height above my roof line but i drive a box anyways.

looking at pros and cons on the road and trail.
