My suggestion would be to start in the Design Library and Generic Benroy Plans (links are at the top of every page on this forum). This is where I started.

Yup, I would take a look at the generic benroy plans:

Can be easily modified into any size you want. Get the basics from it, or build it to the letter.

...not to sound unfriendly BUT posting in all caps is considered SHOUTING and doing at least a little basic research before you start shouting would be appreciated as well..........

Welcome to the fun. What part of Alabama are you from. If you haven't joined the Tearjerkers site yet give it a look see.

It's a great opportunity to use your imagination. Once you have a basic frame...build what you want, the construction techniques/ layouts are pretty much all the same if building a wooden structured trailer, just create the look you want and work towards that. You got a couple of doors, a galley with a hatch and a bed. Build around that. Just my opinion. Doug
