Check out the Teardrop and Tiny Trailer forums. There's a whole forum dedicated to Foamies: http://www.tnttt.com/viewforum.php?f=55&sid=634e1756f35093f5fc9a410e571582a9

Very nice build, and glad to see you're still knocking them out! What's the expected weight for the completed trailer?

This looks great! We came to a similar conclusion about storage for our build as well. Subscribed!

Beautiful pictures as always! Thanks for bringing us along!

Profile started! Profile's cut! And the first wall being glued/clamped/weighted: 240 lbs of tire/rim and 180 lbs of I-beam should make for a straight/flat layup! :)

Last night started on the box: Started laying out the profile: I'm hoping to get both sides cut tonight and maybe start gluing some foam together as well since we are going camping for the next week.

Didn't get to the shop much this week, but did get a few little additions done: I realized that I need some new tools as well! :wings:

The "box" will be made from 2" ridgid polyurethane foam with a sealed canvas exterior and luan ply interior (kind of like a traditional canoe, or home built aircraft wing). With this type of construction 85% of the weight can be within 20" of the centerline of the wheels (low COG), and it is...

Thanks! We were intending on putting a traditional rear galley on it, but I have never been to comfortable with cooking so close to where I eat (especially since we camp in bear country). So we changed up the design and added the cross-bunk for our son. There is space to carry a table/chairs...

The "skirt": At ride height: Wheels and tires to match the Jeep: Shocks mounted: Primer: And Painted: Next up will be the body of the trailer. Made of a plywood/foam/canvas laminate...Should be fun!

This is my backroad teardrop trailer build. I've been chipping away at it since the spring. The plan: It's designed to be pulled primarily behind my Jeep, but also needs to be towable by my wife's Escape. Luckily the math is pretty close: The frame: Continued....

I've been thinking about a very similar idea for my LJ. I was thinking with a tailgate conversion, a zip in extension and no rear seat, I've got 6'5" of sleeping space!

Wow! I am more than a little jealous, but I look forward to your pictures after coming in from blowing out the driveway (again!). Safe travels, and keep up the great updates.
