Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Greetings all!! I am new to this forum and yes I filled out the newbie/getting started page. This is what I am planning to do. I have a 2000 25 ft. travel trailer I can no longer use because of a leak destroying a portion of my RV. I am thinking of purchasing a 20 to 22 foot goose neck and using my useless RV for donor parts. I would basically use everything possible to create a new RV that can not ROT.Is there anyone on here that has done a goose neck cargo conversion? I look forward to learning and talking to everyone and maybe doing some camping.

I don't have one but would sure love to see one done. Get to work

I don't have one but saw a Costa 5th wheel going down I40 last year thats only little trailer 5th wheel I've seen I vote for you to go for it

There are many of what your talking about, they are called outlaw trailers
Generally they are super nice , over $100,000
Used as RV and horse trailer combinations -
Companies make professional conversions in the Midwest
You can see them at Horseshows

Good luck

Here you go ENJOY

Thanks for the reply and information OTTCT!! All I can say is WOW!! Very nice but not what I am looking for.I am just like y'all in building a simple cargo trailer/RV. I have a 25 ft. RV to use as a parts donor I just need to purchase a 18 t0 22 ft goose neck cargo trailer and start the build.I want to keep it simple but functional.

I too would love to see or have a goose neck because then I could tow my drift boat behind it! I haven't seen any except for those bigger monstrosities. Definitely keep us all posted if you find anything 20 feet or under. I'd be all over a 14-16 foot goose neck.

I seriously looked at building one before I got my CT. I was wanting a 16'-18'. I chased wider horse trailers and really liked what I was finding except for cost. The shorter ones are kinda hard to find.

I've got one I'm working on but no pics yet. Mine is a little larger, but I will be hauling a large playtoy in the back of it.

Hmm..... I better not, my wife'll really question my sanity if I start chasing another build. I like the maneuverability of a gooseneck or 5th wheel over a bumper pull. There is nothing wrong with the way my 16' pulls, I just like the way you can park a gooseneck in tight quarters a lot easier.

You need to get some , start ya a build thread and share the wealth!!

Augie Dog, Howdy;

Have you looked into some of the shorter stock trailers?
They come in 5th wheel and goose-necks as well as the pull behinds.

I was going to buy a gooseneck enclosed trailer when I got my 7x14 bumper pull. Gooseneck/5thwheel would have doubled the cost of my trailer, so I decided it wasn't worth it. FYI, shortest enclosed gooseneck trailer I could find that wasn't a complete custom order was a 14ft double axle.

Not really interested in the stock trailers due to weight and not interested in a horse trailer conversion. I want to keep it simple like a pull behind CT only a goose neck. The information I have gotten is the basic GN bunkhouse area is 8 foot long leaving 10' to however long I would want the main body. I am looking for 22' to 24' total length and 8.5' wide. Standard tt is 8' wide. I have pretty much the layout in my head but making that initial purchase/first step is holding me back. As I mentioned before I have a complete travel trailer sitting in my driveway I can no longer use because the roof leaked and rotted out the wood sub frame. A $20,000 piece of CRAP now because of poor workmanship. Do any of you know of a cargo trailer conversion group / club here in North Carolina? Also Prodart where are you located? How far along are you on your build?

don't junk that TT frame, reuse it viewtopic.php?f=55&t=45027, it will never rot and will save you a ton of money!

Augie Dog, should you ever get any interest in a CT group getting together in NC, I would be interested in it. While I am in VA, I am only less then 1 hour from the NC/VA border.
