Here's the potential donor

It's an old Starcraft pop-up. About 6x10. I like the size. I'll be able to make a shallow galley and have room inside for a bunk for my daughter.
I'm thinking about making something like a Lil Diner. If this trailer is too beat up I'm going to use a 5x10 HF.

:thumbsup: The only thing I would caution you about is to make sure the corners are all square and level. When you sit the TD on you don't want surprises. ;)

Thanks, Miriam.
If I do choose to use the pop-up trailer I will do a complete survey before I media-blast it. I already know I'm going to have to move some cross members around and add reinforcement in other areas to accomodate my plan for a dropped floor pan in the table/booth area. The extra work involved to make this trailer suitable would be one of the reasons I go with a bolt together 5x10. Past experiance has told me that it's much easier to move bolt-in cross member than it is to move welded cross members. ;)

Cheers,
Mark
