I can't help but wonder if "cute" trailer sizes share this same ratio....

A 10 foot long trailer would be roughly 6.18 foot tall for example....

An 8 long trailer would be roughly 4.94 foot all...etc

This seems about right in my head....


Please tell me more about this do I times the length by 1.618 or divide it?
As yet once again my plans seem to be forever changing, more dogs more kids should mean more camping

Slow in regards to the length; Does it really matter as long as you and Angie are happy with it and comfortable in it, length shouldn't matter to no one but you, especially when it comes to trailers
Great post by the way
There is a world, just beyond now,
where reality runs a razor thin seam between fact and possibility;

Anywhere I roam where I lay my head is home....

Well that makes it easier. Start from the back and measure the length needed to the cabinets then add 70 inches for the length of your queen bed. Then you will have your floor length. The origional plan shows about 50 inches ahead of the cabinets on a 10 foot floor. If you go 12 feet, you will have a couple of inches to spare. That should keep you about where you want to be and still have all the cabinets. as designed.
