Hi Everyone,
About 6 years ago my wife and I build a 5x9 small trailer, With age and bad knees we I needed something a little bigger and easier to get around in. We sold our little gem to a younger family and moved on, till now. This Journal will track the building of this new trailer, not a teardrop, but I thought some man be interested in it. The most interesting thing is it will be a 14 foot camper with seamless piece of canvas (poor man's fiberglass on the sides) and 2 pieces covering the entire top. Hopefully the experience we gained building the first trailer will aid us in this even larger project. I will post here regularly, if anyone is interested, and a more detailed blog is posted at https://spiralelm.wixsite.com/mysite. As always I would like to thank all the posters on this site as I have gained much knowledge from reading their posts.
I am a little late getting started so posts will come quickly until I catch up where I am on this project.
--- The Goals ----
1. Less than 2500 pounds
2. Budget of 6k
3. Queen Size Bed
4. Bathroom with Shower
5. FGC - Fat Guy Compliant (I am somewhat jumbo size)
6. Completely covered with Canvas (Poor Man's Fiberglass)
7. Cabin area will be 6'6" by 14'
7. Other ideas that will be implemented as budget and size allow.
8. Built to outlast us...hopefully to last long after we are gone.
Thanks for any comments or criticisms, we can learn from both.
