I've been playing with all kinds of designs for about a month now ( A-frame, standy, crouchy, etc ) but I think I have come up with what I want. I will basically use the concept of the Squidget pop up, but the entire camper roof will lift. When collapsed, it will be almost 4 ft in height from the floor to the roof exterior. Raised, it will be 7 ft tall from floor to roof exterior, with 6' 8" headroom inside. I plan to do some monkeying with a 5x10 trailer to give me storage under the camper floor, and allow me to go 7 ' wide on the trailer so I can install a queen bed.
Who can point me to a good thread about framing so it doesn't flex or fly off my trailer when I get on the highway?
Campers are for sleeping in, almost everything else should happen outside.
