Hello everyone! I am in the early stages of designing and building a teardrop camper and am looking for some information on the trailer frame design. A lot of the links in the stickied threads on the forum now appear to be dead so I am digging for info. Most of the trailer designs I am seeing have the frame on two planes (a square frame above with the tongue attaching underneath). I am more inclined to build a trailer with frame and trailer in a single plane, possibly with a full length tongue. I would think it would be stronger.
Here are a couple rough drawings I did on Microsoft Paint that are more along the lines of what I am thinking. They aren't to scale. Has anyone built a trailer with a similar design? I would appreciate any input I can get.
