Hey don't forget about having a Dutch Oven dinner. with the and , I am already thinking of my second can't help it. It is just addictive.

[Ned B]

um... isn't that proposed meeting just a typical TD gathering?

[GPW]

Ned, Yes, but to be a real “trailerholic” you need to have 5 trailers ...

[tac422]

Hello, my name is "Tac" and I am a trailerholic ....
Yep, I have 5 trailers. But only one is a teardrop. (for now)

[GPW]

Tac, that’s how it all starts .... first the “gateway” trailers and then on to the hard stuff, like cabins and Coleman stoves, Cast iron pans .... and Beer

[tac422]

Doc,
I know...
I'm already thinking I need a "birthday" Coleman lantern...

[Mary C]

Does the hay sled that I pull with the tractor count? if so, I have five with only one is a TD but I am thinking about my next TD I think it has to be a 5'5" tall and with AC and be 5x9, Then again perhaps building a 4x8 wood sided and foam/canvas roof will be my next one. Ok I let a little of the design information slip. I am still working on the designs of both. My other design calls for a 4x8 simple foamie which could still be my next one with a very special trailer extremely light weight trailer. The axle and wheels will weigh more than the rest of the trailer I think. We will see my friend is doing some testing right now.

Still seriously thinking about this one ... But Not ready yet... So, I decided to make a scale model of the Zep . I do have some nice cardboard ,salvaged from a FSTV box, and some balsa wood for framing . Enough to make a 2” to the foot model , and a chance to not only check the building technique , but see how it looks overall , before building a big one ... maybe test a cool paint job ... Should be fun and informative , and it’ll be just about the right size to tow behind my RC truck ...

[Mary C]

I been waiting............a scale model would work, at least we could, really see it!!! of course it is a little like a backwards camp master without raising the roof.

Not being one to follow the “chosen path" (obviously ) We like these er, “different” designs... It’s the new century ... time for us to make a camper trailer History of our own !!! .. Think about it... in 50 years people will be looking back at Foamies' saying : “ Oh , those old Vintage trailers “ ....

Still too cold (for me ) to be building outside , still haven’t scavenged enough materials yet for the Big one , but we’re working on it !!!

So for now a model will have to do ... and an easy way to mini-prove the concept ...

[atahoekid]

Of all your designs, the Zephyr is my favorite. I'd really like to see that in scale model... Can't wait!

No progress as yet , other than obtaining the materials ... and it’s supposed to be COLD again ... Good for indoor activities ... like building trailer models ...
