Welcome Chris !
IF you have an idea of the shape of the trailer then start with that. :thumbsup:

If you are still not shure try the Hall of Fame at the top. :thinking:

The next thing to think about what all do you need in the trailer. :thinking:

The next thing is make a cardboard model Full size or to some scale and see how everything you want is going to fit in the trailer. :thinking:

Next is think over all those thing will not all fit in the trailer and what can you do without. :oops:

The list gets smaller. :oops:

And smaller. :cry:

Then you are ready. :thumbsup:

Then you can deside on a size ( hint at least 60" inside wide you will not regret ). :twisted:

Some can do the minimalist of 46" inside it is up to you ( make a cardboard box the inside dim. and set in it if you like it then go for it - you can do the same thing with a blanket chairs and brooms ) and put your stuff that will be in the cabin with you in the model space. :thinking:

Have fun and camp like the rest of us.

:thumbsup:

to the playground Chris. It is part of the normal learning curve. When you get it right in your head you can build it. Just remember it is only a box :thumbsup:

Lots of boxes.

And keep the bubble oil level with some :pictures:

Chris...you're not in over your head....just sort out all the details and think about how you want to camp and what is important to you. Make a list, then find the profile that will fit it all in. Or you could be a maverick and just do your own thing....and there ain't nothing wrong with that! No rules here....Doug :thumbsup:
