So I'm still gathering together things for my build. I really love the look of the teardrops but they are just not appropriate for our needs. Still I think I'd be better off in the long run with something more aerodynamic than the standard cargo trailer shape. There is still no decision on design since I've not seen anything that looks like a good compromise between roomy & aerodynamic & relatively easy to build & not too hard on the eyes.
At the camping & RV show yesterday I got to see TAB's & Little Guys that I really liked but there's no fitting two humans, three dogs inside those, not to mention transporting two kayaks, a bike & a trike. However, I did see a Palomini that is somewhat appealing. The rep talking to me said these were built on a tent trailer frame. I didn't realize this one existed. Was nice to see a main RV manufacturer catching on a bit. The smaller models 131-133 have a profile that curves on both ends and have a lower roofline with a dropped floor area in the middle for headroom. That's a good compromise between the lower roofline I'd desire & the extra headroom BF would prefer. My trailer wouldn't be as long & may not end up quite as tall since we aren't tall.
The only concern I have is making it rear entrance or at least a rear hatch or doorway big enough to load the gear through, min 42"w X 54"h. So do y'all think this shape would be possible for a first time builder without me getting so frustrated I abandon the project?
