So you moved the tires forward but then added more length to the front of the trailer? Oh boy….

I built mine two years ago. It came out a bit heavier than I wanted but it's built stupid stout. The body sides and floor are all 3/4" MDO plywood sealed with epoxy paint and then sprayed with Raptor Liner. Fits a queen mattress inside with a galley out back. The roof is polished aluminum over ash stringers with foam insulation between.
The bulkheads are set to the walls in 3/8" deep dadoes with a bead of 3M 5200 marine sealant and 72 2-1/2" long stainless steel screws in each side. 100 watts of solar with a liFePo4 battery, it only needs to run a few LED lights, the diesel heater and the roof fan.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached FileI made my hitch removable. I can pull the lower pin and flip it up to save about 30" of length when I have it stored in the garage. Or I can pull both pins and take the hitch right off, hopefully to deter any shady people from driving off with it.  Attached File |

I brought it home and did the roof trim and a decal.

It’s just about done. I did some painting last night, I’ve decided to put a converter in for when I’m in a commercial campground. I’ll do that this week.

We took it out Thursday and Friday nights. It holds heat in well, tows like a dream and costs zero gas mileage. There’s an actual eagle’s nest above the camper in the first one.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wookie1562: Teardrops are by far the best way to camp if your group fits in one. Here's one I drug for ~20k+ miles all over the western US for a few years. The only reason we sold it is because we got a big ass dog that sleeps with stiff legs. 2 people and 80lb stiff-leg dog don't fit well in a small camper . Looks like you are well on the way already. Are you planning aluminum skin or something else like fiberglass? Foam insulation for the top? https://i.imgur.com/093g9AM.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/CXtoDN9.png We have a 2005 Lil Guy. Fun little campers! I'm slowly retro modding it and adding solar. Also, trying to figure out a kitchen without sacrificing footspace. |
