Yes a nylon tube or tent would extend and reach to the open hatch or tailgate and make the interior of the mini one with the back of the SUV or mini van. Lets face the only reason people do not sleep in the bacvk of their minivan or SUV is that it would be not private and would not allow for standing up to change clothing and such. The way I figure it the mini would be a pretty cheap build being on a 4x4 HF trailer.donrebyct wrote:I like it. I've been thinking about something like that. Is your thought to to have a canvas cover the tailgate & bridge?
Put something on paper, or posting. Make it a foamie to keep it light. A single wheel trailer would be interesting. One thought I've had, though not practical, would be to make it a box sitting on the back of the SUV.

We used car wash quarter acceptors and timers in each booth and tankless water heater run on propane. He sold el-cheapo Wally world towels and small bars of soap as well.
He hauled it to a biker rally campground after making a profit split deal with the owner. 10 days later he had something like 6 grand in revenue and the campground owner offered to buy the trailer for another 6k. Not bad for a $4,000 build cost.
This type of idea is really cool and would be of great use at many festivals!
PS....use trex composite decking for the floor...leave very narrow gaps between the boards for drainage from shower water. They won't rot and can be sanitized easily. We collected waste water this way. Water ran through the floor and was cought on a gently sloped tarp which ran down to a collection hose and out into campgrounds sewer dump.
