Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

January comes closer and thousands of designs have been scetched This one I like the best but it has a serious weight distubution problem. not so much for my truck but if I use a car it would be big time.

looking a little like a jet with the front wheel missing

I am still thinking of making the body to fit the truck bed and save up for a trailer. It could have large cart wheel put on 4 corners and rolled off to the ground leaving it at camp or home So I drive the truck separate.

I am getting closer but my newest design is a backward tear with square back ... this will allow me to do the TVan in the future

or have a pull out in the rear. I do not know if I can do it but the front kitchen will be separate with hinges on one side and latch on the other so it can swing around and face backward.

What I really want is a cross between a TVan and a campmaster

The top back would have a spoiler on it so when I am pulling it the wind will reduce the tong weight. or maybe that idea of the Fold n Roll with an extra wheel at the tong.

other possible answers double axle or wagon style. I saw a one horse trailer built wagon style. both sound a little costly. .wagon
this type would have no tong weight.

lastly would be a goose neck hitch

I once saw a car with a fifthwheel hookup on it's roof ... one could be put in a truck like the old curtis did. It by the way was the first fifthwheel, using an airplane wheel with bearings mounted on it's side in the truck.

As you can see I do alot of dreaming. I really am trying to keep it simple and do improvements as I can afford them.

I am beginning to realize the kitchen must be in the back and it could still swing around. A canopy could cover it and the door over the side.

How 's that am I going out into outer space
hey I am not alone the Gazel is close to that design I and I just saw it just now. click on 2000

I have one or two designs similar to what you are talking about. Check out my ideas at: http://www.forgottenclassics.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album02&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php&page=1

Here is something I put together quickly. It is a rough sketch of a reversed cabin car sitting on a harbor freight trailer. So would be thinner than the actual cabin car. Bed shown is queen size in length. Kitchen would be in the back and inside. You could do something like the campster and raise the front roof if you wanted to put a table in.

I need to give thanks to Angib as mostly what I have done is to downloaded all the profiles and cad drawings he has already done and just play around with them

Fly Fisher ... you are coming close to my thinking.


Shrug53 you have very clean neat set up with all good ideas.... lot's of emagination at work.
aloha ... looks like a tear on it's side.

Mike to you think an air spoil on the back of trailer might reduce the tong weight?? might help with your VW
