Cool tiny trailer, need info

Postby Tiki Dude » Mon Jul 28, 2008 6:51 pm

Does anybody have any info on this trailer? I believe it is a Coachmen Trailer. Its a 2007, I have googled it but come up with nothing.

Is that the 6x10 they're building in limited numbers?

It looks to be built on a snowmobile trailer chassis. Don't those trailers use peewee wheels? How do you think this would handle on the highway? The guy wants $2200 for it and it looks great, except for the wheels. I would like to build a similar design but use a small travel trailer chassis.

If I had to guess, I would say it is a converted pop up camper. That is a very similar design to what I put together for our TTT however my old pop up was a starcraft with 12" wheels instead of 8". But I have seen many pop ups with 8" wheels. You can even see the roof of the pop up may have been reused. Pretty neat profile; I will go more rounded front and back on our project.

Great find though, now I see how ours may look soon.

P.S. Can you get any photos of the interior?

It has a home-built or at least limited-production look to it.

I think it's bizarre that anything this small would be wide enough to need wide-vehicle identification lights (the three-lamp set in the middle) and clearance lights.

I can't find any evidence that this is a Coachmenproduct on their website, either.

That was one reason I thought it must be a homebuilt or remodel of a pop up. They are usually pushing the 80" mark and generally come with the extra lighting. I know mine did at 6' 4" wide.
