Hello from Southern Idaho

Postby camp green » Sun Jul 25, 2010 6:41 pm

I am new to this site!!!! I've got a 1978 Coleman Tent trailer that the canvas is gone and looking to make a new trailer over the frame. The campster12 is the closest teardrop to the size it is except I would like to have 6 ft standing height. Does anyone know of a detail guide to buid this model??? I am looking to make it in the form of a woody but sealing it from the rain and other weather has got me puzzled??? Is there a good book of other sites that can answer these questions. I've got woodworking experience but has never built trailer. Thank you in advance. Kirk

Kirk,

First welcome to the fun. Their are a couple manuals out there. The link is to one of them. Some folks seem to like the manual. I just used the design library as a starting point and made the rest up along the way.
