So that we are all working on more or less the same page, here are some design parameters…
It’s can be a rounded teardrop like the Benroy, or a chamfered trailer like the Weekender.
It’s about 4’ by 8’ by 4’ high
It has to be built on a steel trailer of some kind
It has to have lighting, a stove, a cooler and a water supply
It should have a counter of some kind in the galley
It should have a cabinet of some kind in the cabin
It has to have windows, door handles and latches & hatch latches
It has to have a hatch
It has to be skinned and undercoated
It should be considered safe to be on the highway.
Don’t forget to include glue, screws, bolts and other hardware. Allow enough to do the job.
Prices need to be on the web, so that they can be confirmed. http://www.lowes.com is a good place to get a lot of prices, but any source on the web is valid as long as the company will ship to us folks in the U.S. After all, someone might actually want to build it!!!
The contest starts now, we’ll let it run for a couple weeks, so lets say it ends on Sept 10th at 6:00 PM EST.
Polling will run for an additional week and end on 17th at 6:00 PM EST.
