Chech out my photo album and please give me some feed back on your thoughts. :frightened: I am wondering if there will be room for wheel well behind the door. I am thinking about building interior like the baja benroy. I would like to hear both pros. and cons. Also the wheel well will be covered with a removeable panel to access tire and wheel. Width will determined by axel.
THANK YOU.

That's is really unique. :thumbsup:

You could always take it a step further and use 4 wheels (like a wagon) instead of the traditional 2 wheels. :?

And then..........how about trading in the ol' horseless carriage for a good nag. :lol:

You could do some cool things with that idea. I like the idea of four wheels, but that might make it more fish-taily at high speeds. Ever been behind a UPS triple trailer? Those things snake all over the road.

Maybe you could design it so the two front wheels retract up during travel, and lower when parked.

Hmmmm :thinking:

Never thought of that! I don't see many configurations like that, but I have seen a few logging trucks with a similar trailer, and yup, that's scary even when they are going slow.

Or maybe even a painted shape of a wheel and tire. :thinking:

:) Thanks Dean, Larry & Karl. I have a 1 Hr. Commute To Work so I have a lot of time to think things over. I though of it yesterday on the way to work. So when I got to work I drew up some quick plan and then refined them when I got home. I will try to get them finished today after work along with other views to post.
As for the wheels I was thinking about buying 2 - 24" and 2 - 18" wooden wheels to put on when parked. the drivers seat will be just for show I am afraid. I don't know if I can reinforce ft. wall enough to support the weight of a person.

HAPPY TRAILS

Now you need a dummy dressed as a 49er up in the driver's seat. Now that would get some attention! :lol:

Yea, and the dummy need to be carrying a sawed off double barrel shotgun! Maybe more attention than you want? :lol:
