[stonykill]

That was my 1st one in that link. Our personal Vardo.

love your siding but worried about the weight.
We're getting ready to build a lite weight vardo for a 4 by 8 frame to be pulled by my forester.
What are your dimensions for ledge and walls? any idea how much yours weights?
Also any trouble with wind resistance?
our first build is a teardrop and you can't even tell it's behind you.
Advise would be helpful.

Weight guestimate 1200 lbs. Behind our Sonoma with a 4 cyl the wind drag was pretty bad. Behind our 08 Liberty,which is bigger than your Forester, you don't even know it is there.

Forgot the dimensions...off the top of my head, the ledges are a foot tall, the walls about 40 inches tall if I recall correctly.

More questions.
Where did you get your windows?
Lowe's has only white and I like the green shed window better.
Also can you give more details on the roof.
Is it insulated and what do you cover the top with?
Thanks, I'm ordering the trailer this week in time for our next blizzard
