hey, just saw a glitzy photo in the march issue of Wired magazine,

http://www.zittel.org/works/wagon_stati ... ion200.jpg

strongly remininiscent of a teardrop trailer. artist creating "living spaces". her website...

http://www.zittel.org/

click on..

> works > wagon stations, escape vehicles, travel trailer units

actually i wondered if the way she designed her sealing surfaces may be easier/more reliable way to achieve a water tight closure. i mean, flat straight mating surfaces rather than a curved mating surface.

b.w.

The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...
