different type of trailers

[Ron Dickey]

Bellow are sites for sheep and gypsy wagons

These are much to big for tiny trailers but it is the ideas the could be miniturized.

Most found in the UK but many of the sheep wagons are found here and used to this day.

In the book Freewheeling homes by Person
is offered not only offering the before talked about tumbleweed homes but also Gypsy and sheep wagons.

This type of trailer offers 4 wheels 2 front and 2 rear and opperate like a wagon. Now adays here in CA this type of trailer is used by the growers to trasport Veg.s to market.

Also the Gypsy wagon are decorated and simple in design. much larger then what we are talking about in teardrops and tiny travel trailers.

But it has been brought up buy one of our members of doing a 5 th wheel teardrop with room to put other toys. And others have come up with the need for low or no trailer tung weight. These have non.

So I brought these up for decoration ideas as well as low tung weight.

I saw a single wide "wagon style" horse trailer for sale in Santa Maria last week and wondered how this would look as a teardrop.

I'm going to have to take time to look through your links. As you travel through central and northern Nevada you will see a lot of sheep wagons. The Basque settled there in the late 1800's and early 1900's and brought a lot of their culture with them. Many of the recipes are for cooking in Dutch Ovens and lend themselves to camp cooking.
