Design challange

[bfree01]

I was wondering if anyone in the group that had cad experience would be willing to try and turn my ideas into a 3D image?
I am looking for a program to try myself but Know the learning curve will be long.

Some of the things I want are;
1. Camp Inn 550 profile (no 90deg. corners)
2. 5' wide 10' long
3. Tall enough (but not over 5') to have the door profiles of MJ's alligator tear
4. Deep tounge box with tophatch like Danny and Jane's Halfdome and the battery at the very front center to allow some storage accessable from the inside.
5. Window shaker mounted in the rear bulkhead vented under the trailer.
6. Galley design like Danny and Jane's Halfdome with the pull out outback oven and a pull out ice chest tray for one of the stainless colemans
7. Rear hatch that goes all the way down into the bottom radius.
8. A 20lb. propane bottle somewhere? tounge i guess
9. 15" tires fenders may be a challenge
10. Interior the only thing I'm very sure of here is a flip down dvd play & a fantastic vent
and now for the fun; a hinge in each galley side wall even with the rear of the bulkhead that would allow them to swing out 90 deg. and have a shelf or counter top that was attached to it. (would have to be slightly higher than the main counter) as it would need to be supported by a sidewall from the floor.

Barry for 3D rendering of your ideas, you might wanna try sketchup I haven't used it but those that have clain it has a small learning curve...there is also post talking about it in CAD secrets......

Man your'e quick
Thanks, I will try it, have it downloading in the background.
and will still be open to input and ideas espec. on the hingeing sides.

Barry, I think "DHAZARD" is doing something very similar in the galley...has in fact allready done it........

Yep, thats almost what i'm looking for and close on demensions also.

Good to have some of the long time members to point ya in the right direction

Man did you bust his bubble!

He looked like a kid that had his candy stolen.

Nothing new under the sun I guess. These things have been around a long time and you can probably find something similar to what you invision somewhere.

thought I had a never been done idea

Hi bfree01, I don’t think it is possible to come up with a “new” idea for a teardrop. I you try hard maybe an improvement on and old idea… I looked at all the pic’s I could find and found some with a swing open backs, others with tables that get mounted on the sides. I just combined the two ideas. Check out my album I will be adding some new pics today. Your design ideas are close to mine, I did square off the bottom corners to maximize the floor space. On thing to consider to open the back of the trailer up the wheels will have to be a little closer to the doors than most, to help on the center of gravity I mounted the Air conditioner in the front and made a cover for it and a small generator.
Good luck on your build.

Hello Dan,
I think your right about "new" ideas.
thanks for posting and the advice, I will look at the pics.
