Dinoot modular camping trailers are built to specification like Legos

• http://www.gizmag.com,
 The Dinoot Trailer from Compact Camping Concepts is a modular fiberglass camping trailer that you build and customize. Dinoot provides the necessary components and accessories, and you put in the sweat and muscle to make it the ultimate gear-hauling camper for your needs.
 
Unlike other camper companies that just want to sell you a shiny, new camper, Compact Camping Concepts wants to help you build your own. Since 2007, the company has been offering DIY guides and components. The Dinoot is the latest design in its line-up. Much like the Teal Camper, the Dinoot is modular design that can serve as a gear trailer, a camper or both. Unlike the Teal, it doesn't build up to a hard-sided camper but uses a pop-up tent configuration.
 
You start off with a trailer frame that you can purchase or build on your own. Compact Camping Concepts recommends a welded trailer frame for heavy-duty uses and mentions that a bolt-together frame can serve for lighter usage. The outfitter offers a full guide on how to build the frame to fit its various camper tubs and sells its own heavy-duty welded frame kits (without wheels) starting at US$799.
