SC,

The only one I know of is this one:

http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=49879

It's not exactly a wild goose, but it is the closest I can recall.

In case you aren't aware of it - I didn't realize they were there until someone pointed them out to me - at the top of the page under "Design Resources", then "Vintage Trailer Plans", there is an article on a Wild Goose. It shows some pictures and has plan dimensions.

There are a few Winter Warrior builds on the forum. These are similar to the Wild Goose, but have hard sides instead of the canvas sides.

Take care,
Tom

Hey Slow, Just noticed a nice one for sale in the "For Sale" section of our forum. It appears to have been posted back in October. There are some build pictures there through links. Check it out. You may message them and find more information available. Hope this helps, Steve

been ripping some boards out of a one by 6 on the table saw.

it was trying to snow this moring and blowing like 50 mph wind hard all day and it was so dang cold and the wind chill was so high in wyoming I did not go out side other than when I had to!!!!!!!!!

we had a canadain cold front blowing though and most of wyoming got snow out of it.

I am worried about angie as she went to casper this evening after work and she called me on her cell phone and said they seen 6 diffrent car wrecks on 1-25 going in to casper from douglas.

it was black ice on 25 and they were in 4 wheel drive going about 40 mph!

Hopefully, Angie is home safe, now. According to the weatherman, you're supposed to get about an inch of snow shortly. Wish there was more snow for you; but ya gotta be careful what ya wish for....wouldn't want you to get a blowing foot of snow in one day or such.

Mike, I was rummaging through pictures today; found this picture, and thought of you. Although this picture is of a vintage Kampmaster/Goose, you might see an idea or two or get a feel for them from it:

One never knows what might help. :)

Hi Slow


Per the description in the for sale section:

Basic description: If I remember correctly... it is about 6'4 wide x 11'6 long. It has a full size bed space in the front with a back hatch that opens to create an area that you can stand in. We customized it to fit our needs with two bench-type seats on either side (with storage underneath of course) so we could sit and eat dinner inside when it was too cold outside... (2 degrees in the Grande Caynon was our record). There are also cabinets for storage on either side... one to store clothing and the other for food and cookware. The canvas in the back snaps on/off and has windows built in with screen/clear vinyl/canvas and the canvas for the door is separate and can be snapped off for just a screen door.
