I am now 3 years into the mental process of a new build. I say that b/c I have had my design (nothing 100% original) squared away for that long. My design requires a custom built trailer and I have been hesitant to drop the cash and pull the trigger - until now. I would love to have some opinions on my design/profile, the overall dimensions and any suggestions that will help me finalize my plan before I start the build in early January.
My design is much less "teardrop" than most. I has elements of a grasshopper and several off-road builds that I have liked - but it is bigger. Overall, the main footprint of my trailer will be 11'x6'6". The wheels are half recessed into the trailer footprint - fendered where they extend past. It was important to me to have a large portion of my roof flat to accommodate a safari/gear basket and a pair of kayaks. My tow vehicle is a 2014 VW Touareg and I wanted the two to look pretty good together. I especially wanted the heights to work together to promote good trailering. Since my intial post I have followed the suggestions below and clipped the top rear corner off the design. I think this is going to complicate my galley but I am going to explore a split upper/lower door design where the lower doors open out to the sides.
Let me know what you think and if you see any issues right away with the design.
Here is a scale cutout in cardboard.
