OK, time to get serious... Although a few of you obviously liked to sleep in a tank, I wouldn't. :elkgrin:
So here are the real plans for this trailer:
The plan is to build a multi use trailer with four different and interchangeable uses.
- A water transport trailer for both summer and winter duty in case of problems with water supply.
- A flat bed trailer for carrying, well, stuff.
- Trailer with removable upper structure or box, for transportation.
- As a fully decked out and equipped expedition/trip/camper trailer.
The concept is based on a hook lift system
but with the box dragged/lifted up on the trailer manually.
The box/camper will be 180x320cm (6' x 10.5') and 150cm (59") high. The internal height is just enough to be able to sit inside with a little room over your head, no standing room.
For this concept to be any use, the trailer needs to supply shelter and comfort even in cold weather conditions.
Therefore, and since the box needs to be removable, it needs to be insulated and light.
So the structure is planned built out of extruded styrofoam laminated with fiberglass and epoxy.
What the trailer needs to incorporate:
- Sleeping couch for converting from bed to living space.
- Kitchen with storage.
- Sink with running water.
- Gas cooktop.
- Toilet facilities.
The box will have a sloped front, a window on each side, a door on the right rear side, and a top hinged rear hatch to provide shelter when using the kitchen.
The kitchen section will also be removable to use the trailer as an enclosed transporter.
