Hi Gav. have a look at the design library at the top of the page. Any can be modified to fit individual requirements. Mine is based around the Generic Benroy plans.

Not sure of how wide to go wasnt going to be huge but after more thought maybe i will stick with a traditional size ive been looking at the luxo teardrop & realy like the shape so may go along those lines.
I like the idea of using a modified caravan chassis but as im an Ex landrover geek i can weld, fabricate, sheet metal work, etc etc, so doing it from scratch would be fun. (i sold my coiled V8 Lightwieght in March & i miss it!! lol)
Good new is that near where i live is a load of Fairground guys, & have been pointed in the direction of a guy who builds trailers, ie: burger vans etc, so i will be having a chat about covering the ply with Ally. also my dads mate is a carpenter extraudinare. So i'll be picking his brains to.
All i need to do is finish the bathroom!!!!
Cheers guys.
