ROUND TAIL

Did you just design your very own teardrop or tiny trailer? Want to discuss it? Here's the place to post your design for discussion!

Shaun,

Trip to the beach? Do you mean to the Yucatan and Zihuatanejo?

Darn nice! Not too hot. Amazingly, most days were overcast at the beaches on both coasts.

The chassis for ROUND TAIL started it's life decades ago as the chassis of a Shasta trailer this size. It's shocking how little chassis they actually built it with. I doubled the amount of steel in it using bed frame angle iron. This beautifully restored Shasta has been beefed up too, to support the stabilizer jacks. (Sorry about the photo size. It's straight off the Internet.)

OH! Gotta go. The sun just came out.

Nope. I just thought it was an interesting, outside-the-box solution.

Prem,

Do you remember what manufacture built the (cargo?) trailer with the bed liner on the front cap? I like that design...at least from the photo that you have.

Zach,

Give me a few days until it stops raining here and I'm back on it. (Very weird May here.)

Striper,

Don't remember ever knowing the brand name of that trailer. Sorry amigo.

Prem :rainy:

The windows, and other stuff you won at the Dam gathering will come in handy on this project!
Why just dance, when you can Salsa!

Sharon,

err.....yeah.....it's stopped raining, but now the sun is shining and I have been camping a lot. A lot.

Okay, next week I'll get back to work on it. Will post photos in about 10 days.

Prem :oops:
