These photos are with the roof tilted open. Small pedestal BMW car jacks are used to raise or lower it.

Thanks soo much for those who upload their plans, ideas and journeys. This trailer is loosely based on the Widget shape, just its sitting very low because of garage headroom and, of course drag.

It's looking really good and innovative! :thumbsup:
I'd love to see pictures of the inside and of your first outing, when you take it out.

Very nice tidy little unit. You should have some fun in that one.
What sort of thing are you looking for in the way of an awning?
Like wise if you are in Whangarei :shake hands: :beer: :coffee:
