Hi Mike,

All of my designs are based on a 4 foot height. Most are 9 to 10 foot long since I think that gives the extra length to do nice things in the galley and still have plenty of room in the cabin.

Hi Chip,

No, I haven't figured that out. I didn't enter the MiniManor in the design contest because it was for trailers that were practical to build in the backyard and I don't think this one is. This was a design exercise for me rather than an effort to create a set of buildable plans.

That said, if someone were to build one out of fiberglass then the curves would be easy. Trying to reproduce the look of aluminium with a paint job might not be possible.

Some of our creative minds might be able to solve the engineering problems.

Check out the "Runlite" and the "Wanderer" plans on my site. Those will give you a good idea of hot to handle those rounded roofs.

I like the look of a large camper but it being small and speedy looking.
