I was entertaining the idea of building a trailer to tow my canoe recently, then started imagining what apparently already exists and is called an "explorer box". What do yall think of this as a cool fest accessory and what is the likelihood i could get it into GA camping?

Looks like a great idea.
I saw small camper trailers in VIP camping, can't see why it would matter as long as it fits in the grid. Seems like a good idea.
I recall travelling in New Zealand a long time ago, where most cars were small due to gas prices, and many people routinely used small cargo trailers. Some were like the "clamshell" car toppers we use. Surprised we don't use them more, especially in rural areas. At least when gas gets high.
Check your state regs on what size/shape trailer needs a license as well as lights.

They make some pretty elaborate trailers for off road camping.
What could go wrong?
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

I like the motorcycle idea. if you run off a bridge by accident, you can just invert the whole thing. i wouldn't want my tent on top, but building in a very insulated, large cooler that could hold 3 days of ice, an auxiliary battery and some speakers, a table and a kitchen would be sweet. could also make it a part of a canopy set up.

I have seen some simple but very effective canoe/kayak rigs made with cheap harbor freight trailers. Do you have a buddy with a welder?
You should see my suv with a canoe and two kayaks strapped on top, I have thought about a trailer many times.

Where do you paddle? Maybe we can do a trip sometime. Hoping to take a trip on the New this summer. Most of our trips are on the James River. I have paddled about 150 miles of the James (not all at once). Did do 27 miles in a day once, quite a ride!!I have seen some simple but very effective canoe/kayak rigs made with cheap harbor freight trailers. Do you have a buddy with a welder?

Just small local stuff really, the most attractive to outsiders is the Clinch River. There is a state park in the works to hopefully attract some tourismWhere do you paddle?

My buddies and I usually just do day long fishing trips but we are trying to start over-nighting this year.

Overnighters are the best. We do a 3 day, 2 night, 30 mile trip Memorial Day weekend and an 85 mile week long trip in June.

Yeah, that is exactly what I am thinking. I need to learn to weld anyway, so thinking now is the time. Since we are talking canoes, I will share my recent creation, a canoe I am finishing restoring and converting into a sailing canoe. I built from scratch everything but the fiberglass hull and sail. This is a quick snapshot as I measured spar lengths, but will do a full "shoot" once I make final changes.I have seen some simple but very effective canoe/kayak rigs made with cheap harbor freight trailers.
