Image Description

Shows the framing and the adjustable wind deflector. In the finished version the solar panel would be recessed into the deflector.
The roof spars are 3/4" x 1.5" clear lumber glued and screwed to the side walls.
There are 2 layers of foil backed foam on the roof, foil is facing both inside (holds heat in) and outside (keeps the sun out).
Foam on the edges were rounded with a hot wire.
Yet to be installed are two 5' long grooved horizontal rails containing a rigid Coroplast panel that can be slid back when the hatch is up, creating a sheltered area.

The white trailer on the right is one I built last year. It turned out to be too big and heavy for my car. (68W x 73H x 108L, 830 lbs.)
