Stainless Steel Micro-Airstream behind motorcycle

[ST1100]

The door is not installed and its behind the axle and will change the balance again.

After the successful test ride I tested the fitting of the roof vent.



Then I marked the outlining of my first corner dome on the stainless decoration ball.
A little bigger than needed - so I could cut it later precisely to the perfect fitting size.



Cut it with a jigsaw out of the ball and reduced the size with my tin snips after marking the correct borders on the frame.
It seems to fit perfect !



Here the look from inside the trailer.

Then I laid this pattern onto my ball and marked outlines of three more domes on it.
After cutting it, time for the next rollout and photo session.
First look with corners clamped on.



And from the door side.



I am fully satisfied with the corner look !

Very clever corners

You are doing a fantastic job, I'm still worried about the weight but I know you are confident.

Those corners are inspired! The whole rig is beautiful too BTW

Thanks to all followers once more ! Your comments drive me forward

Weight should meet 135 kg - maybe 5 more !

That is fantastic, I am still planning my sleeper for pulling with my R1200c trike. In the UK the weight limit for trikes is a mere 150kg.

Only a small update today - had to cut a 22 year old 30-ft willow tree out of my garden this weekend !
Had only two hours for the trailer today in the evening.



But it looks fine :-)

So what are you going to do for final finish?
Light direction sanding, polish it, media blast or paint it?

BTW. looking stellar

[KCStudly]

It is looking really nice.

Do the roof top panels and corners over lap the vertical skins like shingles? In that last pic it looks like they slip behind the vertical skins. It would be better if the panels shed water rather than trap it.
