Little Help with Big Slumber Coach

Postby Wood Tick » Wed Dec 20, 2006 6:50 pm

Hi,

I'm a newbie embarking on making a larger version of a slumber coach. I have a 13 foot trailer by 6'4. I'd like to make the side profile to be proportionate as possible to the original. Is there anyone who could easily alter the original design from the library to give me the new demionsions for my sidewalls? Just glancing at it I thought I would go roughly 1.75 times the overall height which should put me around 7' high at the peak. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to work on it this coming holiday weekend.

Andrew or Mike should be able to help with that one.

Woodtick,

I took the slumbercoach and did a quick stretch for you. I stretched everything but the wheels and fenders.

I put a 3" grid on the results so you can transpose this to a piece of wood if you like.

Naturally, you'd have to do a little bit of design work yet, especially around the fenders, but you get the general idea.

Now it's off to work I go!!!

Out of curiosity, how many of the Slumber Coaches were made? And how many known Original Slumber Coaches still exist?

Who was the Slumber Coach made by?
