I broke the tiny trailer construction into 3 parts. Part 1 is the trailer, part 2 is the under-storage, and part 3 is the camper itself. So the trailer came from HF. It is 4x8 with a 1700 lb rating. The wheels are 13-inch in diameter. One of my purposes in building the square drop trailer is a place to store our camping gear and equipment. I noticed most teardrop trailers have no storage other than the room itself. My design incorporates n under-storage portion of the trailer. I designed the under-storage to have a height of 12 inches. The under-storage consists of three areas. One part is a pass-thru storage area with access from the outside. The second is an under-storage accessible from inside the camper. The third area is accessible from the rear of the trailer and is part of the galley, providing under-the-countertop storage and or lower access to the refrigerator. As of today, the under-storage is roughly framed in ready for the camper portion to be placed onto it. Both will be placed on the trailer. It is my intention that the under-storage and camper can be removed from the trailer, giving the trailer other purposes in its life.
Work for parts 2 and 3 took place on the HHS campus. I was able to build the under-storage in room 14 and then built the camper just outside the room. I cannot place them all together until all of the parts are outside the school fence. The gate is only 58 inches wide. I hope to move it outside the gate tomorrow, Tuesday, July 27.
