I have the trailer frame from an old popup. It's 78" wide x 117" long. I have a design drawn in autoCAD. The design is on a pc not hooked up to the internet. Is there a way for me to put the design on a thumb drive, transfer it to my mac and then post it to this site or do I need to temporarily switch internet from mac to pc? Also,how do I upload an autoCAD drawing? Do I need to save it as pdf or something?
Until I figure that out, I tried making it a teardrop, but couldn't get 4 people in it and wife and kids go with me. So I made a standy?, not sure if my lingo is correct. It will have overall height 100", standing room 74". On the back wall a set of 54" x 73" bunks. Front (tongue wall) fridge, sink, furnace and stove from popup. That leaves 32" along back wall for food, dishes, clothes, additional cooler or whetever. There is 27 1/2" between bunks and galley. At night I can put the porta potty along the wall with a curtain for the three ladies. Yes, I am drowning in an estrogen ocean, married with 2 daughters. The axle is 67 1/2" back from the tongue. If anybody has the time to do a rough sketch this up and let me know if weight distribution looks right without moving the axle, I'd be thankful. As soon as I can I'll post the drawing I have. I plan on framing walls with 2x2 lumber, roof with 2x3 or 2x4. Will that be strong enough, I plan on parking this in the Rocky Mountains from March through rifle season so possibly into December. Wind, rain and snow could be an issue. I hope to use the converter/inverter from the popup as well. I don't know any specs on it, but plan on running 4 reading lights, 2 for each bunk and an undetermined light for the kitchen, the furnace fan and probably a twelve volt vent fan. Any ideas on what size inverter, converter I need?
Hopefully somebody here can translate my babbling to a somewhat intelligent level and figure out what I need, so the rest of you can figure out how to advise me.
Thanks
