Ok, Looong time lurker, possibly my first post.
Permission from my wife to spend the money to build (with very clever friends).
Came across Mr. "ez-toad" and his trailer 19 (for reference
https://www.flickr.com/photos/51728468@ ... 661186740/). I hope to make this 14' long (if needed) and 6'6" wide (short Queen in back, central Cooking area with Dinette to the front) and keep the interior height to 5' with a "Hunter Compact" type roof that lifts up adding 18" or so of height. Not the whole length of the trailer but, more than half. also considering a 6" floor drop in the cooking area as well.
Totally stoked to find this thread because of the encouraging, simple ideas. My hope is that I don't have to scalp an existing Compact to get the roof I hope to have but, maybe someone on here may have some ideas for me or point me towards a source of info. I even looked into the uber-expensive van top conversions but alas, the 2 I contacted will only do motor vehicles.
So, that said, My name is Bob, I live in Burbank, CA. Try to get out at least monthly to the Eastern Sierra due to a fly fishing addiction.
Thanks for your time.
