Slo,
Mine's small (Still in the building stage) -- 40 inches by 7 ft. Room for a twin size sleep area but with a galley in the back.
Fits in my garden shed (so it doesn't upset the Neighborhood association.) ... :?
Probably not the smallest but big enough for a solo camper to go out and make new friends... 8)

I got you beat by 3 inches. Mine is 37 inches wide on the inside. I use a chair/bed mattress thing that i got at IKEA for mine. I think that there is likely a smaller one out there though.

Rolly Nelson built one that was 40" x 6 ' and he also built one that was, I believe, 3x3' and hung on the back of his car. That was the one that was raffled off at the Dam Gathering this past spring. He'll probably chime in later.

There is that one for the mutt and pulled by the scooter, but scaled for human size it is big.

Jenn,
How are you fitting in your galley? Any shelves or storage inside?

I store most of my gear in a cargo box on the roof of my car. Inside the trailer, there are two shelves. The front one is about a foot wide and the rear one is about two. I can fit the water jug, propane tank and lantern under the rear shelf. When travelling, everything has its place and I can't get everything in if I don't pack properly.

I'll take photos when I unpack on Sunday when I head down to Maine on a road trip.

The trailer is a Moto-Mate made by Micro-Lite Trailers of Indiana, though I think that the model is discontinued. It was designed to be towed by a large motorcycle. I don't even feel it behind my Chevy Aveo, and I do regret not getting its big brother, the Wazat.
