Has anyone converted the trailer tent to a trailer?

Just been given one with a bit of tent damage so will be making a trailer out of it...

Also is it easy to get spares or tyres etc for them?

I've been messing about with a nimrod for a long while, how bad is your tent?

If if it aren't totally broken its probably best left alone.

Finally got the tent up...

Ripped in numerous places where it joined the metal poles.. holes in one of the windows etc.

Ive stripped it all out.

Ive salvaged some of the poles to make the awning free standing.
There is that little tear on the front though it cant be seen as its under the top window flap.
Ive saved some of the tent to repair this.
There is a sewn up bit on the roof approx 1 1/2" which isnt leaking.

I have had the awning up about 5 days now and doing an experiment on it.
Was/could be waterproofing it but seeing how it does with weathering it.

Ive had the hose on it a few times with just patches showing.. no drips and its rained steadily all day today with no leaks apart from one window seem which i hadnt hosed so will see what happens...
