Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I realize this forum is all about the builds, but figured I would share a few pictures as to my motivation for building a trailer in the first place.

Ended up finding a tongue box that will fit the 11 lb propane tank. Had a local shop build a flexible propane line with the right fittings on each end. It only runs to the Truma combi heater/water heater. I'd like to find a way to branch it off to the coleman stove in the back, but haven't figured out how given the different psi needed for each appliance.

Good looking build. What kind of awning cover do you have over the rear of your trailer in this picture? I am looking for a cover to use for my trailer but haven't found one yet that will hang over my roof a little like your picture looks like.

Thanks!

In that picture I actually had a standard 10x10 4 post awning propped up on the back of the trailer so I could work in the rain. For a permanent awning I installed the OVS 270 deg awning, which works pretty well. Next time I take the trailer out I'll try to snag a few more pictures of it deployed.

The original design was going to be a fixed wall between the sleeping area and the galley in the rear. I've put off building it since we are still having to take the mattress out to tinker with different things and ultimately we ended up really enjoying the open air. Built a frame and my MIL helped out sewing a screen with zippers, velcro on the edges. Turned out pretty well and now we can keep the back doors open the whole day.




Speaking of back cargo doors, I replaced the OSB with some plastic shower wall. It ended up being way to flimsy and seems to bow in the sun. Any ideas on a better product to use? To see the edges I used some white gorilla tape that isnt sticking as well as I'd hoped so I'm open to suggestions, just needs to be waterproof and hopefully light. Here is a picture of one door, although none of the issues show up in the picture:
