The new and improved rear entry Walden!
I did away with the pop up top in the first design. There is enough headroom to easily sit on the edge of the bed to get dressed or cook on top on top of the slide out drawers comfortably in bad weather or in the morning if you are not dressed yet. This is the problem I have with the teardrop design. You have to get out of the trailer to do much of anything other than sleep or read.
The drawers slide completely under the bed out of sight to fully open the floor area in the rear. This also serves to put all the weight over the axel during travel. The drawers could have covers that serve as counter tops. The drawers could pull 3 ft past the edge of the trailer and still have 6 in under the bed to keep them from tipping.
I figured that I could mount an household AC unit in the end of a drawer that would line up with a small hatch in the rear door. And just slide it out when I want to use it. I am also investigating a 12" high cooler that would fit in a drawer.
Another Thing I am going to do is make a quick awning cover for the rear opening that would fit on top of the open rear doors. This would provide a quick private covered area for shower or toilet or cooking in bad weather.
Another thing,with the angled roof, the rain will always drain away from back doors.
Going to start sawing today!
