Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Just curious here...Whats considered to be a "canned ham" trailer?
Is it:
a) Any old style trailer with rounded ends.
b) Same as above but under lets say 16 feet.
c) Does it need an interior galley to be a canned ham.
d) Would the Streamlined Midget be considered a canned ham if it had no exterior galley at the rear.

Canned Ham... I guess I would call it any of those trailers with a rounded front and back end.

I don't think it can be too long, because then it looks like a rectangle with rounded ends, so a length restriction is probably pretty good.

Kitchen on the inside. I think so... because if the kitchen is in the back it's usually cause it's a really small trailer, i.e. a teardrop.

Except for Spam, most Canned Ham usually comes in a rounded, triangular can. Turn it on it's side, and it starts looking like some trailers... Imagine this with wheels!

Hum - One wonders if the "Polish" ham is made out of turkey (asking with tounge firmly in cheek.)

Nice job Nick!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing!

Hey Norm, Do you feel like you have a good enough answer yet?!

Sure, sounds yummy so far.
Maybe someone will use a can to make a scale model some day.. :wink:

Well ... if someone brings the bread, the fixens and some else brings the beer, I will bring the canned ham.

We can have a good teardrop campout and have a canned ham luncheon and talk over a good fire.

I do not have a teardrop let alone a canned ham trailer ...but the cold of the night will give me incintive to have one for next time.

Now just to make sure you understand the Canned Ham they are talking about. Means on end not like you will find at this site on page 7, second and third Pictures down. although this one offers more floor space.

This crazy site is Artcars but gives one thought as to how far away from traditional one could go. Color, texture, and keep hip.
