Truck camper dolly. Homemade

That would have worked with our Shadow Cruiser hard side as we unload on concrete in barn but we gave up on removal back and forth and went the REAL expensive route and just bought another truck for work and leave camper on dually. Too many tools and tool box to be very convenient to keep switching. Yours is a very sane and economical solution. Very well done.

That looks great. I was thinking about building one as well. I've got a gravel driveway and wasn't sure on what wheel to put on it? Nice, thanks for sharing.

For a gravel surface you'll need fairly large diameter pneumatic tires that are axle mounted like a wagon. The style wheels being used in this cart are designed for smooth hard surfaces and will dig into the gravel.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking, it would be much easier to maneuver with larger diameter pneumatic tires, but noticed in one of 352's pics it was sitting on gravel and with solid 6" wheels.

Nice work! That looks stout enough to park a Class A :-)

800lb each

What's the wheel diameter, and would you mind telling me where you got them. My dolly has 4" wheels and is tough moving around. I'd like to go to 6" or more.

6 inch. And if you look at the pic that looks like a hockey stick around a castor, you can see how simple it is to turn the castors in the direction needed without bending over,
