Hello everybody, I'm new to the forum, and just beginning the build of a tiny (or small) travel trailer. I hope it's not too big to be welcome here. It's going to be a small camper with room to stand inside, approximately 7' x 11' and 6-1/2' height from the trailer frame. I purchased an old trailer frame that had come from an earlier popup camper ... that will be my "foundation" ... and I purchased a messed up, smaller, later model popup which I tore down. Salvaging a few things from that to go into my camper. I'm using the newer axle on my older frame.
A few years ago I built out a van and stayed in it a year or so before re-marrying. After I remarried, the wife and I bought a 34 foot bumper pull new (Dutchmen Astoria) in which we've lived the past two years. We're not quite at the stage of being ready to tote our 34 footer around the country, or to make quick trips in it. We're parked semi-permanently for the next three years, with a large deck, etc. We both love camping, and in this stage of life I am semi-retired at 68 and she is only working 3 days a week. She's off Saturday-Tuesday each week. We need the small camper for long weekend getaways. I have the skills (I think) to build this camper, and I can do it. What I can't do any more is tent camping, lol.
So my journey begins! Thanks for this forum resource! It really sucks that so many pinned threads seem to be full of bad links and broken images Nevertheless, I've already begun to find valuable knowledge and inspiration from browsing.
Glad to make your acquaintance.
