Just finished my TTT. It will haul a motorcycle in it and the set up to camp.
Look at my album.

That's a great setup. Although I no longer motorcycle (traded the BMW in for a couple of kids), the ability to transport bicycles & tricycles would be great.

I also like the fact that both kitchen and cabin are accessed from the rear. It would make using a screen room much easier in buggy or wet weather.

May I ask about the overall and cabin dimensions?

Thanks,

Jim

Hello Harldydodge1
I have been thinking and sketching up plans for a motorcycle hauling camping trailer for myself, yours looks great, the diamond plate looks great for flooring, but please keep some slipers handy for those cold mornings.
Is the kitchen going to be on both sides of the motorcycle area in the back, are you planning on shelfs that fold down in the center space out back?
Is the front tire mount removable? What are you using for tie downs?
I love the trailer, great idea, well thought out.

WOW! I am glad I am not that far along to switch my thinking a little! :thinking: What are the overall measures?

Great job!

What material did you cover it with (the white material)?? Looks very good.

The overall size is 5"x10'. When the bike is pulled out and set up for camping you will not be on the daimond plate on the floor. The galley is not completed yet but will have a self or two on the doors that close to make the wall between the galley and the insides and a slide in shelf between the cabinets. The front tire mount is removeable but can be left in, it is close to the front and out of the way when I put down the fill in pices that go between the built up sides to make the sleeping area. I covered the outsides in .040 alum. from the race shop down the road. I looked everywhere to find some then thought about the race shop that uses alum. to skin the cars in.

COOL: I hope Mike's dad gets better soon. It will be nice to have someone to ride with. I didn't even think about it being Thunder Beach weekend. O'well I went in the spring and had a blast.
SEE Y'ALL THERE: Keith
