Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I'm building a 13'x6' based on Dale Summer's squidget design, modified to be longer and wider. Take a peek at my build journel. It sounds like you are going to do something similar. Link in sig

I am a retired Loadmaster on cargo aircraft and we used to load litters with people on the planes a lot...I will have to investigate further to ascertain the dimensions of the wooden rods on the litters used for this purpose - and those were supported on two ends both on the front and back sides.

Thank you for your inputs and concerns...Glad this is all just planning in taking inputs at this time... Just would like for this to be an option if needed...up to 200 lbs...no more - probably less.

Oh, A load smasher on medevac aircraft. Have you calculated the CG on your camper design yet.

The Mock up ideal is what I would suggest as well. Maybe a 1:6 scale cardboard model as well.

GL and keep at it.

Ps ( edit ) Check out CarlLaFong little model on this thread. He can swap out walls and other parts.

Wow, someone actually looks at my stuff??? Cool! I have revamped my original masonite scale model to a Sketchup design. I decided to eliminate the traditional galley and replace it with a slider. In the long run, it will be easier to seal and more versatile, though a bit harder to build. See it here viewtopic.php?f=27&t=51420

Sorry for hijacking this thread. Back to our regular programming

Sinks are easy:

You go to a restaurant supply store and buy a stainless steel serving pan in just about any dimensions you want. Then, you just cut the drain hole and screw the basket on there with drain pipe. Real simple.

You won't necessarily have an adequate lip around the whole thing to install a standard faucet, but if that's what you really want, you can install a separate plate in your galley to mount the faucet. In my case, I just used a Coleman camping shower unit to power water from the collapsible jug in the floor of the galley up through the counter and mounted behind the sink.

Also think Coleman's Hot-Water-On-Demand unit for this kind of arrangement.

These pans/sinks will cost you next to NOTHING.
