Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Well, this is certainly the place for the Elf Cottage to be shown. I'm still trying to find the original builder.

The frame is near identical to house and garage, 2x4 stud frame walls, 2x4 ceiling joists. Inner wall isn't drywall it's particle board. Roof is unique shingles over particle board (1/2 inch particle board.) All on a base that is 4'x8' 1/2 in particle board. 2x2 welded tube frame sides and cross beams for the frame at 2' intervals. The inner wall 1/2 inch particle board is for structural soundness to the frame, to keep it from falling over. There are no angular cross beams. So the strength of the frame is on the inside, for this TTT, not the outside. The outer walls are styrofoam insulation under the vinyl siding. Door(s) at the back.. Window is double hung, double pane vinyl window with swing in to clean and a sliding screen.

Once I got a comparison to everyone else's trailer and names, there was only one thing I could call it, The Elf Cottage.

Any questions, fire away.

Oh, and I got it with the interior completely raw. No paint or seal on the wood, no hook for a trouble light, nothing.
(see links with my signature, below.)

I love this trailer

@Karen, thanks. If you want closer looks, the two links bring you to what's been done in full, with index (the documentary). And if you are looking to give input, then the forum.

Your trailer looks pretty sweet, too. (Is your bug a front wheel or rear wheel drive and is it a front or rear engine?)
Any interior pictures?

Its a 2007 front wheel drive engine in front. I love it but it is a little overpowered with a 2.5 liter 5 cylinder engine. That with the manual 5 speed she steps out pretty good.

I would love an original 1965 Beetle but doubt it will happen.

No interior picks, lucky I got the picture I did to post.

Yeah, considering it's a vw-bug, it would probably do wheelies, if it wasn't front wheel drive. I have that problem with my little pickup. First gear is too much for snowy ground. Sometimes I have to start off in second if it is too slippery out. The 5th gear over drive is nice for the freeway mileage. I miss the rack and pinion steering and cruise control and stuff like that though. But with the small pickup I can haul twice the toys out camping (or once the toys and not interfere with my sleeping space. :-)

Um, you know I meant interior pictures of the trailer, not the bug, right? My writing can be very grey at times.
(maybe I need a bigger font? ;-)

well i did figure you meant the trailer not the bug but I guess I could have read it either way.

ok, yeah, just making sure. :-)

well you just might meet my trailer some time. I'm trying to get to visit way west of you, from michigan. might be a gathering going on.
