Anyone had any experience modifying a garden variety tent trailer? I'd like to take the small wheels off and go with a 15"rim & 29-30" tires. I'm fairly sure this will require a more subsatntial axle. My obvious goal here is to gain ground clearance. Any ideas or links to other sites dealing with this concept will be greatly appreciated!

If it's a torsion bar axle it's a lost cause without changing axles. Re: Tent Trailer Mods [Re: calebjosh] #794159 03/18/07 03:03 PM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,281 Rhome, Texas , U.S.A. Curtis Johnson Body Damage is Cool You may not be able to open up the wheelwells with out some major frame mods. May even be ahead if you build an off road capable frame and move the camper body over to it rather than tryting to beef up the stock frame. I had a Jayco and it's frame was pretty flimsey. And they are supposed to be one of the better tent campers. But that a good out of the box idea you have there.
