How about a green one. With a real dutch door and an observation platform !

Image


This one is 6' wide by 10' overall sections are 40" ~ 40" ~ 40" on roof

Enclosed box is 7' 6" long with 6'-4 and 8' sidewalls outside measurments

I love the pvc grab rails on the roof !
Growing older but not up !

There is one like that up in Santa Cruz, California. I went down a side street on the way up to IRG 1.0 and ran accross it, should have taken a picture it was pretty cool. :thumbsup:

With tandem axles, you could reasonably add a porch and railing .. Cute , but maybe not practical in the rear, unless you made some provision for galley access...maybe a swing away railing and fold down recess to hold cooking paraphernalia.... Tandem would look cool though ... 8)
Inside layout could include a diner mod with a bed/table arrangement .. Rounded roof would be "scale " and good water runoff ... Just more ideas ... I'm probably the only one foolish enough to even think about building one of these...hahahahahaha :roll:

How about making the "potty" section a Hi/Lo. Low for wind resistance and raise it when you stop.

Hey , now there's a Great idea !!! I think the whole idea of this exercise was to provide a nice (4'X4')potty /shower/dressing area for the ladies.. and look like a Train ...hahahahaha
You guys (and Ladies too) will have to Forgive me . I'm not really a "social" camper . My Trailer ideas are always for extended camping/EVAC.. Hurricane season is only two weeks away :o ... always on my mind ...we usually have about a 3 day window in which to decide whether we need to Go "camping" or not ... :shock:
Our last "campout" was for Katrina, we were gone for 5 weeks , and had I not provided a suitable bathroom /shower for "Her Worship", I would now be divorced... or Crazy :?
