Explorer Box Overview
The Explorer Box has been designed as a straight forward,
DIY friendly compact camping trailer. Plans include full
dimension drawings, material list, building notes and
material suggestions. Many DIY-ers will begin their trailer
build with a bolt-together frame kit, although most 4’ x 6’
flat bed trailers are a suitable starting point.

At the heart of the
Explorer Box is its plywood based trailer box. Using
plywood, waterproof glue and a few screws it’s easy to
create a durable, attractive, lightweight trailer box. We
use a combination of plywood types. For the exterior we
prefer using quality marine grade Okoume plywood, for its
weight and strength advantages. It’s also more attractive
and takes a finish better that standard plywood.
