Same here, so I subscribed to this thread to see what might develop. I was out looking at 5x8 cargo trailers yesterday and decided that the 8 foot length is plenty. I had originally thought I might need a 10 footer, but I want to stay as small as I can.
I have a wife I need to keep happy, so I'm going to build in a hot water system and an arb awning with side walls. From what I've read from some teardrop and small trailer owners, they spend most of their time outside of the trailer (obviously) but many still want some privacy, hence the arb.
At any rate among other ideas, I'm going to rip off his propane bottle storage idea and most definitely the re-hanging of the rear door idea. That's brilliant, specially here the Pac NW where it's been know to rain on occasion.
Good luck with your build...I'm a few months from starting mine.
