http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=51128Please note: We believe Andrew Gibbons passed away a couple years ago; and with him, the rights to his design library, listed below, also were lost. However, if there is a design that you really liked, you might post a request to see if one of our members has information that could help.
For Andrew’s build plans for the Compact3 TTT look here:
http://tnttt.com/Design_Library/Design_Library.htmlOf course, one might also add in the KampMaster, one of my favorite teardrop styles. Andrew has plans for that in the rescued design library as well:

I could not find the build threads for the following:John Sheppard’s Weekend Warrior:
http://www.tnttt.com/gallery/image_page ... e_id=11160This one sneaked by me until it showed up in the for sale section. Hap doesn't have a build thread but there are 6 pictures in his gallery:
http://www.tnttt.com/gallery/search.php?user_id=1034Here is another one that doesn't have a build thread or even much of a photo gallery on the forum; but, it is very interesting....A pop top trailer with a Dacron covering instead of foam or plywood, by tmoenter. Look down near the bottom of the first page, with a little more on it, on the second page:

Don't miss this one, below, which was found by our member, ShadowCatcher, and has some wonderful, innovative ideas:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtsLtsYJLmc…………………………………………………………………………………………………
Also, this build kit, Teal's Take-apart Trailer, should probably be listed because you do have to put it together on a trailer chassis:

Shown on a truck bed; but, could also be used on a trailer:

If anyone has helpful knowledge to add, such as links that I couldn’t find or other TTT’s with lifting roofs, please post your information here.
Check out the WizardofOdds posting of unusual trailers that he found while searching the Internet. Many of those have lifting roofs.http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=64495&start=1501/18/13: ...Decided to change the topic name of this thread, too, because it also lists Teardrop-shaped trailers with pop-up roofs.
So, instead of calling it "TTT's with Lifting Roofs", it is now Teardrops & Tiny Travel Trailers with Lifting Roofs.
