This is part 2 of my conversion of a vouwwagen (or foldable caravan) into a motortrailer for transporting my caferacer motorcycles. With the motortrailer I can go on trips and take a motorcycle with me or I can drive it if it doesnt run or if /when i breakdown. In the end it should save me a few euros. 

The base I use is the bareboned frame of the caravan and I wanted to use as much of the original caravan as possible.

I set out to achieve a few design elements:
1. it needs to be strong to hold at least 1 motorcycle, but two if need be. 
2. it needs to be as light as possible because of the electric car that will be towing it.
3. Keep the cost at a bare minimum, my goal is to stay under EUR300,-
4. It needs to be detachable so i can store it in my already cramped garage. 
5. Led-lights are preffered. 
6. I need to be able to load and unload the a motorcycle myself.

With that in mind i bought this old Jamet Canyon vouwwagen and started stripping it down.
