My criteria are quite numerous, so I've done my best to address as many as I can.
Basically, it's a one man trailer, with internal storage for an expensive MTB, the bike will sleep outside locked to the A-frame on nice days but comes inside if it's raining. It's to be as wide as my Jeep, or 4.5', clearances, track and height are all designed to likewise match. I've gone with a 9' long box, which is the minimum space i could get it all into.
It still has a rear hatch for bike loading, and alternative use as a miscellaneous toy hauler. The bed will fold in the middle to make a double sides fore/aft facing seat for daytime use. The rear storage box is an attempt to keep the tongue weight down, at the moment I think it will balance OK, but the axle is in the centre of the box in the drawings, which means the side access door is further forward than ideal.
It won't be especially easy to get in and out, but I'm not overly concerned about that. The pop top will be hard sided, which I think will not be too hard to make water tight. Headroom is about 6'1" at the front of the drop floor.
So what do we think, do I have a workable design here?
