here are some sites of trailers that are not of the type you see.

but looking around and see what others have done some times helps when designing something in miniture or what you usually see.

these folks do alot to get to bed at night this is a moble tent. A simple tent trailer that gets used for other things.
Look around the side it includes a download video of seting up and gives one ideas.
one gentalman said he figured out how this was done and could do it as a teardrop emagine a teadrop going down the road stops to camp and becomes this...

the fold n roll (no longer made) found in my album offered a 1/3 fold down roof and wheels in the front. the wheels in the front ment no hitch weight on the rear of the car. I saw one a year ago they were 2 small very thick tires turned and followed direction hitch was pulled.

older ideas... Trailer Boat take a look

I find all kinds of things of interest. or you can copy what one of our members has designed. Ask first they will probly tell you what not to do and where to find the parts.
