Generic Building plans

[madjack]

Thank you Jack! Any help will be helpful! I'm looking for easy,simplistic and light! I hear you about Extra "stuffage"! Out of all that you have seen, which is the easiest to build? Is aluminum lighter? Wood? beer can's?
I thought of all aluminam, but then I need more input!

...easiest to build ???it's all relative, something like Mike's weekender could be easiest...
But how intricate do you want your interior cabinets, your electrical, do you want/need AC, how about onboard water, stoves, microwaves, what kinda interior/exterior finishes...
What kinda walls...solid 3/4 ply or an insulated composite wall, the same for the floors...
Are you gonna want aluminum siding, an all woody or a painted/fibergass/epoxy side...
a 4'x8', 4x9,4x10. 5x8, 5x9, 5x10 or some other size...
Are ya gonna get some plans or do you have the skills to just wing it...
As you can see there are a lotta question that you will haveta decide on...
the 4x8's can be easily built in the 600/800 pound range,,,the 5x10 go up in weight accordingly...
keep on looking around the "hall of shame", members personal galleries and the various posted build journals...
decide what is best for you, use wise, skill wise, looks wise and we will be here to help ya out...good luck

I'll chime in with my two cents worth...
I say just go with the original Weekender design.
Simple to build, no ellipses (Those seem to scare some newbies) and you've already drawn it up.

Are you looking to save the most time or the most money. You can't have both.

If you are looking to save the most time, I gotta believe the weekender is a quick and easy build.

If you are looking to save the most money, build yourself a 4x8 teardrop with solid side walls. 3 sheets of plywood and some skins, and that's it!
