Custom made trailer... - Sprinter-Forum

Napoleon88 · 08-17-2010, 03:57 AM

Anyone made one of these before - a trailer to match your Sprinter? Or considered it? (excuse the terrible photoshopping)...

Is it even possible to do this? To make a trailer from the rear section of an old Sprinter - for example, one that has been accident damaged at the front...

If you can do it on a Toyota come Ford Econovan then why not a half a cup of the sprinters tail end, now that's one cool way to extend your Sprinter train. cut must start at the beginning of the second B pillar.

I also say "totally possible" and why don't you be the first to do it with a T1Ncan?! Have seen Mini and VW camper interpretations of the same. Go for it!

Way to go Si: I just love the idea of the concept

SWEET! It would be nice if you would be able to use the leading edge of the roof to fair the top and either use from the front of the "B" pillar back on that model or a 140".

And to make it complete;Just add the rubber accordion between the back of the van to the trailer just like the B Double Metro buses ...Walk trough
Oh so cool ,that would be a dead easy photo shop-chop
