Mini Metzendorf?

Postby xrover » Sat Mar 13, 2010 9:44 am

Anyone ever do up a design for a mini Metzendorf, the kind with the bunk over the trailer hitch, that would fit in a garage, and have the look of the Metz but not the size? The space over the tongue could be valuable in a small trailer design.
Mike, get that thinking cap back on!

Take a look for Rick Sheerin's album. That's kinda what he did, it's a beauty. Bet you'll like it 8)

Mike also did a design idea called the Minibego that may have similar lines to what you're thinking. Can't recall where it is at the moment but it's around here somewhere.

It's a good idea.

Anyone have a good side shot of the Metz?

Be careful when you access Rick Sheerin's album and look at his Metz - you might get a little light-headed. Prettiest Metz I've ever seen. Last I remember he was talking about giving it a makeover too.

I just saw a page of RV'ers who bought some originals and want restoration help. so I sent them here, figuring we build from scratch. someone here might want to help or do the restoration.
