That looks really cool, although the door seems a bit small. Anyone with a gluteous maximus any larger than mine would likely not fit through.

NICE!

I love the rear brackets! Gives it kind of a vardo look.

Did you build this from the Richard Butler plans?

I used paul butler's camp pod plans... http://butlerprojects.com/ & the 1947 trailer for two plans...And all the advice this of this forum,Actually this forum helped more than anything...I mainly wanted something totally unique..ZACk if you don't want attention,don't build a tear drop style trailer...on my 1st day camping I spent at least 4 hour's telling everyone the how's, why's,did this, did that's..of this tiny trailer..& of cource about this forum...The trailer has more diamond plate on now,will get more pic's on soon hopefully.The trailer will be painted again..red,Hf trailers paint job's Are major crappy...& will be permanently mounted on the trailer.Also picked up a red 87 toyota to pull it with.The supports in the front were made by a friend...He actually messed them up by haveing 1 to many brew's...but We fished em out of the garbage,filled all the holes & gouges..sanded & painted..He made them,just one more thing..to remind me of a close friend...The back top piece is off an 84 silverado...We just liked how it looked...It pulls great, allows a restfull night sleep...I'll be adding things as time goes on...table inside,small bar\galley in the rear..shelves,etc...We just love the heck out of it :D And don't mind the attention..vinoscooter

I would never weigh booze...If if it was a matter of weight...Less water,or any darn thing I could through out...The booze stays period.. Kind of funny though,The pod's become my liquor cabinet..It's the only safe place w/lock & key!..If im not home & a friend drops by...they know where the key to the pod is...Left for a while,came back after dark one time..Deceided to have a shot,couldn't find the key..It was in the door of the pod..Opened the door..Just like magic..A friend appeared...Sleeping one off.w/a half empty bottle beside him. :lol: Even his wife got a kick out of that one.."he couldn't find a safer place"..is all she said..vinoscooter
