Teardrop toy hauler

[Aaron Coffee]

Bought a scooter and got me thinking of building a teardrop to haul it in and then use it for tooling around when camping. I have heard that the divider between cabin and galley gives strength. Am thinking building 5 foot tall, 5 foot wide 9 foot long. Am thinking of having cabinet a foot to foot and a half one each side would this help provide strength. Also what would I want to use for frame material(scooter weights 350, current teardrop comes in just under 1000.
Thanks
Aaron

Haven't been on much lately my internet went out two months ago and have been trying to get a tech to come fix it, and no luck. Yeah, Wildblue.

I've got a "Wild Goo7se*" project on the back burner. It will be similar to the one Angib pasted up for me on the other thread. I've picked up his drawings and the orional Popular Mechanics article off the web. I puchased engineered plans for a 3500# utility trailer just to be conservative. The design uses 4 x 2 x 1/8 tube main side rails, 3 x 3 x 3/16 tube full length tongue, with 3 x 2 x 3/16 angle crossmembers.

Looks like the tube frames we build really are overkill... unless you plan to roll a car inside!
