Thank you

Thank you, I had tried a search on just "Lil Diner" and got a ton of hits, I did not think to use what I was actually looking for duh...So thanks again.

I thought she is the size she is, which is an interesting size for a tear drop.
she still has the proportions of a Modernistc or Kenskill ie 10 L X 4 H is similar to 11 L X 4.5 H ration wise. Also her rear seems like a cross between the two, a little "beefier" than a Modernistic but not as "Stout" as a Kenskill. The front is cool too.

The execution of the design, well it's just exquisite.

The builder of the lil Diner is Steve Fredricks. He's a great guy and has put together a manual that shows his build style. I used his manual for my build. try this site. Good Luck, Walt

Here is the Lil Diner profile as I designed it. The grid is 3" squares. That makes it pretty easy for you to duplicate! :-)

Once at Steve's house we changed the AC a little bit so there wouldn't be a bumpout on the roof. And that works fine, as long as you add a side vent, as you can see in my album.

Thank you Mike she's a beautiful trailer both in design and execution. I appreciate the help. I could tell from looking at her that she is bigger but she still has that "look". I think once you get to a certain size it's harder to maintain.
