Kamper Karry- All
My basement storage was too small to fit my portable generator. We also have a couple of Honda Trail 90 bikes we like to take along in case we find some trails to ride. I had a need for a rear deck for these types of take alongs. I also added a towing hitch while I was at it. The side frames are bolted to the main camper frame with 3 (on each side) 5/8" x 3" grade 8 bolts. The actual storage are measures 69 x 28. Not huge, but I am sure it will get used quite a bit. We like to take the Hondas along and just let them sit around the campsite. They are real conversation starters, people are always stopping by and asking us about them. Great way to meet the neighbors. Here is a Facebook link to some pictures. Al Z

Thanks Ozz. The worst part was drilling 6 holes through the frame. A r400 is awfully hard steel! Al Z

Yes, the best investment a guy can make is good quality drill bits and cutting oil. I drill a bunch of stainless in restaurant repair and good bits and oil are a must.

Great Work. Have mounted a storage cabinet on the rear of my unit. The welding company who did the work "did the work for me against their better judgement" as I was insistent and agreed to accept all responsibility - I now understand his point. I viewed your Kamper Karry - just what I believe will solve my problem. With your permission I would like to copy your plan. I read the description of mounting the rectangular tubes to the frame but need additional information or photos of your installation. My Mountaineer 285 frame currently has a drop down to mount the bumper - I dropped the belly cover and realized how little strength attaching to bumper mounts provided. Do the rectangular tubes come below or thru the rear end cap? I appreciate any information you are willing to provide.

Bob The main frame tubes are bolted to the ibeam of the trailer. They come straight back and pass through the curved fiberglass piece at the rear of the trailer. My Montana didnt have a bumber on the back. I also added the 2" receiver.
