So the trailer is 4'6" wide and 8' long not including tongue. I wanted it to be tall enough to sit in a normal chair inside. I mocked it up on the wall in tape and tried to simulate what it would be like inside. I am kinda making up this design as I go along. I thought this was a Great Lakes design. It looks kinda like a Benroy now that I am looking at this forum. I am stalled on cabin cabinet design and galley design. What would you call this design? I originally had a beautiful large radius on the front but found I wouldn't be able to sit in a chair with my back to the front wall. So I had to shorten the front radius. After shopping for doors and not finding exactly what I wanted, I cut out a 4'x2' with 3" radius corners. Making those seal and look right will be the hardest part of this build.
This is where I am now with it. Doesn't it look like a toy from this perspective? A trailer for ants!
Tonight I put some more underlayment on the outside. I went to a plywood distributor looking at 5'x5' Russian Birch and the top scab boards just happen to be bendy plywood with the grain of each layer going the same direction. They gave me all that I wanted of those. I would have gladly paid for those. It lays over those tight curves with no problems what so ever.
