I started building tent trailers a while back when I couldn't find any that met my criteria. This trailer is one I'm currently prototyping and showing to folks for feedback. I plan on creating a DIY'er build manual and plan set for it.
My primary tow vehicle is a Subaru Impreza wagon. I'm also working on a mirco tent trailer that my Miata could tow.
Yes, the old one-wheeled Helites and Australian expedition trailer have influenced my designs.
The tent is one I designed and did the prototype sewing. Right on I'm "shopping" the design with a number of contract sewing shops trying to find someone to manufacture them in low volumes for me. Does anyone know a good contract sewing shop?
Doesn't look like anyone else has built a tent trailer? Has anyone seen any home-built tent trailer?
Now that you remind me, my folks trailer was a Helite. The tent folded out similar to yours and it had an aluminum slideout "kitchen" box. Mom loved it because she could pull it so easily without having to worry about backing up the trailer.
I've seen the couple motorcycle trailers firsthand but didn't quite like the 'compactness' of the box. Yah, I know, motorcycles can't pull weight, but seriously, I think my tired old 4cyl TJ has less hp/tq than a new motorcycle.
