We've finally narrowed down our list of features we want for our teardrop.
4' wide, so it's not wider that the 50 Chevy, won't have to use huge mirrors lol
Empty inside, it's main use is to tote the handicap scooter around to car shows. Plenty of room for a cooler, chairs and the sun shade also.
( I have a twin air mattress I can store in it so my wife can take a nap)
4' tall inside (ish) to take the big scooter without having to remove the seat. It's about 6" taller than the car on the hoof.
1/2" AC plywood construction, skinned with FRP smooth side out. I'm either going to paint it to match the car or have it wrapped
1 side door and the rear hatch only.
Other features (open for revision)
storage area for small propane bottles
wired to charge a battery jump pack, USB outlets and a few lights
tie down tracking on the floor
To be figured out:
Under Floor Storage, how big?
Ramp storage and design, need some type of ramp to load the big scooter with (300 lbs) The small scooter breaks down easily so it's not the problem
( I picked up a collapsible ramp set, but the sides are too tall)
Fenders: I'm thinking about a motorcycle fender, mounted to the axle
