That would be a good idea, but since I am strong enough to lift them with out it probably not.

My favorite thing about this trailer is the option of being able to cook inside or out.

Nice feature!

Are you sure you don't want to put some kind of a chamfer on the back of that Walden design?

Can you picture your design in 3D?

Randy,

I modeled up the Walden so you could see what it looks like in 3D.

Wow! Thanks for doing that Mike! That is really neat! :applause:

I do my drafting in photoshop cs. Not the preferred program for drawing but I know it very well. Never tried 3D. probably bad idea for photoshop. Photoshop is still lightyears ahead of the pencil we used 20 something years ago in engineering drafting school.

Couple things, The drawers are 12 in high because that is where everything goes. The bulkhead will be thinned out to 4-6 inches wide on the sides with gusseted corners on top. I want to keep 4 ft 1 in open area in the bulkhead so I can get a sheet of plywood in when I need to haul one.

Backdoors will have windows. and maybe a small one in the front because I want to be able to see out of all 4 sides.

The open side walls in the tail area will be good for hanging clothes and other things.

Still thinking about the roof line. Dont know what else we could do with it.

I am going to start laying up the side in the morning.

Thanks!


Randy
