My name is Randy Hager and I live in Venus, Texas which is south of the DFW metroplex. I've been working in the aerospace/aircraft field for a little over 30 years. I enjoy almost anything mechanical. I also like working with wood. I want to build a larger trailer then is shown here because I have two growing boys that need space. We have been, up till now been camping in a tent and the screened shelters at the State Parks. I've been looking at enlarging the Compact II I have seen on Andrew's web site. I want it to be 13ft long but also 7.5ft wide with cooking inside the trailer and a portapotty. My wife said we didn't need a shower but she might end up changing her mind some time in the future if we just happen to camp in a place without one. I'm originally from Ohio and is where all of my family is still at. I've owned only one trailer before this but never tow it but just sat in a park that my brother ran. You all have very great looking tears. I don't have a personal picture for an avatar; don't know if you would want to see my mug.
