Hi Medic,

What kind of suggestions are you looking for? Type of material? Size? Galley layout? The "hotrod" crowd make some really nice looking trailers, while the "offroad" crowd make 'em tough. Maybe you could tell us a little about yourself and how you intend to use the trailer.

While I'm not building an official Weekender (tm), I am building a similar trailer named the Desert Dawg. You might find some ideas on my website as well as in the Hall of Fame.

Anyway, welcome to the list!

Love an open ended question. So much potential. Buy good wood---make sharp lines---cut straight lines (ok ignore that one) the weekender has bent lines---buy good glue---buy screws--- git r dun :EXP

most of all---enjoy
