Intriguing Stretch Teardrop design.

Someone asked about the 1500,its GMC 5.4L V8 ext cab with brake controller . Honestly I don't like the way it drives to much sway, but then I think most vehicles (SUVS and trucks) have to much sway compared to my car and the 1 ton. I would love to use the 1 ton, it only has 172,000 on the engine but needs some work. But that is another discussion. Either way I should be able to handle most anything, but that doesnt mean I want to drag a box of bricks down the road.

Still researching and contemplating the cargo version. I would like to build from scratch, but I really do not have the time to dedicate to that.

Thanks to everyone.

Cargo trailers can be most anything you can dream up and an external/internal galley is possible. I have seen RV's that have cooking facilities on the exterior as well as the interior and it would be no trick to have quick disconnects for a gas cook top and even sink... One goal I had was that for Nancy was cooking and cleanup be as easy as at home. This means a 6gal hot water heater, three burner cook top and Waeco refrigerator (12V or 120V AC).

What sets it apart from being a box is windows.
