Tiny Trailer thoughts

Postby Rebel » Sun Feb 04, 2007 4:20 pm

My wife and I are facinated by the tiny trailer ideas here (Steve's Puffin, Mike's "T@B", Dale's Squidget among others) and are planning something similar for later in the Spring. We both will be retired later this year, and both of us have some health issues that make if difficult for the typical tear use.

Both of us are short (5'6 and 5'3") so most any of those tiny trailiers would allow us to stand up inside as well as cook etc.

We would like to have several items included, and would adapt the trailer for them. It was most interesting reading one of the recent posts about what one most would like to have and could not do without in thwir own trailer.

We would want to include a tiny bath area with shower hose, porti-potti, small fridge, single sink (not double) two eye propane burner, a honda generator, deep cycle battery, perhaps the pet cool ac/heat, and propane tank of course.

Sounds like a lot, but I thnk these can be accomodated in a unit not much larger than the puffin. That build was amazing to watch, BTW :thumbsup:

Thanks for your input.

I've been thinking about this a tiny bit, and I think the Summer Warrior would do that pretty good. You just have to modify the bathroom to add a shower. You would also have to move into the main walkway to take a shower. Oh yea, you need shower curtains too.

Mike , you sure have some great layouts... with the extreme housing shortage here and the number of migrant workers, seems like this would be a popular item ... Just nobody knows about them , and they're always amazed to see mine... :roll:
