I'm looking to build a tear to tow behind my Lowrider Merc. I want a 'futuristic' type design.
The parts available over here arent always/necessarily the same as in US .We are also quite restricted on camping areas here ,nothing as far as I know like pine/redwood forests etc,well not in abundance anyway! My tear use will be restricted to rod runs,shows etc ,and not camping for campings sake ,I f you get my drift? I want it ready to roll at most times ,and quick/ easy to park/pitch/use . I intend to build a four wheeler ,using trailer susp units and Austin Mini wheels (10" or 12" rims,about 18"/20" o/all diam ) close coupled ,I think this will keep a lot of weight off the rear airbags of the car .I ,of course will give it nose weight etc. Am thinking about reverse framing ,ie frame on outside (poss stainless steel tube),suspending skin beneath/inboard of frame ,with a lattice type lightweight girder construction . At the moment over here prices of aly/steel have ROCKETED ,so Im looking at poss using f/glass panels.I see lots of 'yours' made of plywood ,and painted ,but TBH I aint convinced that will be any good in our crappy weather over here ! Altho' I am going to think carefully about design ,i dont intend to dwell on it for long ,as I find I then get so tangled up with it in me brain ,I give up! ...SO....theres my basic idea! I reckon it will work ,but shoot me down if you got any comments! My main prob is getting a good shaped design// to practical use ratio!
