I find it fun when I see others have had my idea

I find it always interesting that when I think I have come up with an origanal idea some one else did it first. but then alot of my idea for the Box Kite was barrowed from many many pictures I have seen.

I am planing to have side doors. I was planning on making it flat at the rear but if it went up in the rear like this one I could almost stand at the rear to change clothing and such. the idea of using the lower ramp as a base to keep the upper lid up looks worth while.

I had wanted to put it in a trailer like this then I realized when I was talking to Peter from Mac Bult teardrop trailers that I could have as many trailers as I wanted. The have no engine and there for plate tags and insurence would be little to nothing. I could even get rid of my truck if I had use of a unit strong enough to pull a trailer holding heavy things I would put in the rear of the truck. Unless I get a 5th wheel, or make one. like the skamp.

Andrew showed one being pulled by a mini car with a window at the front slant.

I am also thinking of a pull out rear floor rather then a drop down rear floor.
like you see now in utility vans like this

it could drop into place. The galley could sit on the end and be pull out.

Takes me right to a page that wants everything up to DNA sample & such. I hate when that happens.
