Very new to posting anything. I'm reposting this as I think I initially posted in the wrong place. Still trying to figure all this social media thing out.

So, I believe I thought this thing to death. I scoured the internet for nearly 2 decades, also most bought a couple of sqaredrops/teardrops, but decide to finally build a camper fit for my needs and wants.
1. Must be able to put pants on standing up as I am an old fart.
2. Same size tires as tow vehicle.
3. Air-conditioning as I live in Texas.
4. As light as possible <2000 lbs.
5. And hopefully a cool looking rig.

Pics are of the 1st proto-type foam model from last year. 24"x44" Door is in the back. Side windows don't open, but when the roof hatch is lifted there are vent that will be exposed. A RV frameless window is also in back that can pivot open.

So,I started collecting material over the year and half. Have the following.
- 2000lbs axle
- 2" square tubing
- 2" XPS foam & glue
- Canvas & titebond Ii glue
- 28"x 44" door and frameless Rv window
- fenders
- separate fridge box cargo doors
- 1/8" and 1/4" plywood
- trailer part, lights & stuff
- Climaterite AC & Heater
- camper hardware.
