My first post here, but i had to register finally because I've been reading for days now and have decided I need to take the plung and start building something.
I have a 1980 Fiat Spider Convertible that I'd love to be a TV for a TD. I also have a 40x48 trailer that I'd like to use as my base.
with minor mods to the trailer to increase length (not width) I'd like to build something that looks appropriate and tows appropriately behind a small 4cyl and teensy sized car (the Spider is about the same size as a Miata for those who are unfamiliar)
Question: Has anyone built a 40"wide x 96"long x < 40" tall Teardrop? (sits between the tires, axle flipped to other side of springs)
I just want a dry place to sleep, with a very small galley out and maybe a place to throw a couple of things in cabinets inside. I think the Benroy is the basic TD I want, but just modified to those specs above.
I'm 6'2" and young, so I don't need lot's of extra sleeping space, but would like to be able to lay flat with head and toes not touching. I need just under 40" to sit up straight, so i think slouched sitting could work in about 36-38". I want to keep it as flat as possible because the roof of the car with the top up is like 50" and I plan on dropping it a couple more in the near future.
This will be the stepping stone into TTT building because that's what originally brought me to the site. I'd like to make all my mistakes on this and figure out what works for me and what doesn't. then I'm off to build a standie similar to donutboy's or the puffin (took me several days to read that 50something page thread, lol)
Thanks in advance for any leads, wisdom, advice, etc you may impart!
