    TRAILERS UNDER 10K



    Looking to get into an off-highway camping or utility trailer, but faced with a tight budget? For many folks welding up a home-built trailer from scratch is the answer. But for those of us who lack the necessary skills, tools, or a decent workspace here’s a list all-terrain trailers that can get you fully outfitted and on the road for under $10,000.

    Note: this list will be updated as we become aware of more options. If we have missed something please leave a comment and let us know! Thank you and enjoy the list!

    Dinoot Trailers

    images (1)
    Dinoot is a relatively new player to the game but certainly makes cost their big consideration. For simplicity we’ve decided not to list each individual model and option as pricing can vary widely depending on how you choose to build your trailer. What we can tell you is buying the tub alone can be as affordable as $785 to $890 depending on the model, with DIY frame kits or plans available to drop off at your local welding shop. We have yet to get our hands on a test model, but customer feedback looks promising for this DIY kit. Find out more on their website here.
