If you mean bring along something like a 5x8 enclosed trailer for some decent extra storage for the conversion, than sure, I was considering the possibility. Probably fit some scooters in their for city nav or strolling.

However, if you were referring to something like pic related, you're out of your damn mind. These things are constructed of staples, Elmers Glue, and needles. They are so incredibly horrible. I know a guy who works on these things full time and he has even shown me how terrible the construction for trailers and fifth wheels are. The overall construction isn't meant to last, it's meant to be made lightweight enough that almost any car or truck that rolls into the lot can leave with something it can pull, and that means using shitty ultra-light materials that don't last long, tires that fail, particle board for almost the entire fucking thing, and that results in many many trips back to the RV center to wait in a line of retards who're having the same issue.

Yes, you can probably purchase a used camper for really cheap, and have most 4WD vehicles be able to pull it, but the cut cost isn't worth that stress that is guaranteed to happen. From it falling apart. by Doing It Ourselves (crazy idea, I know) than we can at least ensure that we make our parts last longer by using real wood, better screws, strong apoxy, good insulation, etc.
