My Tiny Camper Design (1:24 Model)

Did you just design your very own teardrop or tiny trailer? Want to discuss it? Here's the place to post your design for discussion!

The stands look very sturdy indeed! In reference, what Turkey call 'donkeys' we call 'sawhorses'.

Ovened wood is also called kiln-dried and should be left in open air for a few days to adjust to your climate and humidity. If it begins to warp or twist, better then than after you've installed it.

One note about placement of the propane tank; it also needs venting. Propane is heavier than air so vent holes in the bottom of the compartment will work.

I also will be watching your build with interest; always good to learn of other cultures and methods.

Sawhorses? This is very good ı learn it now. :) İts also near to donkey :)

My place is a mointainy area and its a small town, And not to access accesuaries well, (And also there is not too much accesories everyvhere too. Perhaps some big cities in yacht stores. But its hard to find this special parts.) I know ı couldn't find waterproof airvent for ground. İn this fact i think now use a 90 degree L plastic pipe to and install it like its hole forwards back of the trailer under the ground. And do it a mesh. I think that will be waterproof when the car goes forward in rainy weather conditions. I think that but dont draw.

Thans for your suggestions. I like learn something too.

I couldn't reach quality ply in my town. I must take it Ä°zmir. But its hard to 244x150cm panels the top of car along 225km. I think don't use panels in the design. I can reach every size of quality pine (non tempretured) wood. Can you advise me a design complately pinewood?
Can ı attach aliminium or steel panels directly to inner pine frame without a ply sides and thin ply top coverage?
How can ı do it?
Thanks.

In answer to the plywood; it is not required to have a sub-layer of plywood upper aluminum. I believe Gage spaced his spars on 12" centers and then applied aluminum directly over the spars. Commercially built trailers don't use ply under the aluminum.

But we have done some important changes. Because of this we want to sahare it here.

We chance hatch and kitchen design complately. Hatch will open from back side only with no sides. This type of hatch dont spell water easyly.
And we have put the fridge and use less wood at the kitchen for weight reduction.
Also we have think plastic tubes for fresh and used water at the bottom.

Many have use the plastic pipe for water storage. What size are you planning on? 4 inch PVC will hold about 2/3 gallon per foot.

OK, so that will give you 19.625 cc per each centimeter of length; 1962.5 cc per meter

Are you right?
Total lenght of each u pipe abaut 7mt! Perhaps I have to use 7,5 or 10 cm dia.

I have wrong calculation. I hope 60-65 lt each of u pipes,
And your calculation says 14 lt of each total 28 lt.

pi X r squared

2.5 x 2.5 x 3.14 = 19.625 square cm x 100 cm (meter) = 1962.5

10cm pipe gives you 7850 cc per meter
