Yuppie Wagon Trailer?

Postby bentrotor » Sat Sep 12, 2015 2:30 pm

Anyone have a "Yuppie Wagon Trailer"? I don't know how to add a link, but Google will get you there. They show them up to 5' x 10' so they look to be big enough to use as a camper, and being all one piece plastic should never have to worry about leaks.

How would you add windows , side doors? What about UV protection.

Adding windows would be simple (within the limits due to the ribs) - cut hole size desired, cut 1 or 2 pieces of plexiglass, lexan, etc. approx. 1" larger all around, add gasket sealer to plexi, drill holes thur plexi - tailer side - plexi, attach with bolts, rivets, - and bam, double pane window. operating windows would require a little more fabrication, but shouldn't be to hard if you think outside the box. Side doors would be out of the question, this is true, however this style of trailer does not subscribe to doors on the side. Several trailers on this forum (Stacie) are constructed without side doors, so I would assume this particular style of trailer may appeal to some folks on here. As for UV protection, I would again have to assume the manufacturer has addressed this issue considering the use of this product.
I only posted this for those folks that do not have the time, tools, ability, area, etc for building this type of trailer but want to go camping. This trailer may be the answer to those people, and it appears the entry cost is reasonable. I am not saying or implying this trailer will be the do all, end all trailer - just maybe another alternative. BTW - I have zero interest in this trailer, dealer, manufacturer or anything else. Just a result of surfing the web today.

In Texas, everything is hot sitting 100 degree sun (windows or not) - I think A/C when hot and heat when cold. Besides, isn't the type of trailer unimportant? My idea of relaxing is being outside. If I wanted all the creature comforts, I would stay home. P.S - I am not personally interested in this type of trailer as I already have a 6' x 12" V-Nose that I use to haul my motorcycle, move stuff, and occasionally camp in.
