Anyone know where the Widget is???

Postby cracker39 » Thu Jun 30, 2005 2:54 pm

I recently found a site, but didn't save the link, where someone designed a trailer a little taller than a normal teardrop and calls it the Widget. Does anyone have any idea who it was and maybe have a link to that site? I am designing one of my own to build and would like to see the Widget dimensions again. Like the Widget, mine will have a "drop-down" area in the front about 27"wx37"lx72"h where one can stand at the front galley. I have designed the chassis to be 5'3"w x 9', plus tounge with the wheels under the cabin, axel attached to 4' wide rails same as with a 4' trailer chassis. The cabin will be 63" wide by 10'10" long exterior. The interior is similar to a little Eriba which my Dad owned.

You can take a look at it on Andrew's site here.

Here's a shot of the widget profile... This one happens to be the widget4, not the widget 7.

BTW, I really like the widget profile and design. Very nice, strong shape!

Thanks for the link. I'll save it this time. My design is a little larger than Andrew's, but has the same basic layout.

BTW, the avatar to the left is a profile view of my design...I call it "Son of Widget" for now. :D
