So I've been toying around with the idea of building a teardrop for a long time now. And finally decided to get started on it, but seeing as it's currently 107 outside. I'm starting in with a sketchup model. And hopefully I'll be able to bring it to life when it starts to cool off in a couple of months. So I wanted to get some ideas and opinions on what I have so far. So here it is.
Check out the 3D frame model here.
The main box is 5'x8'. Everything but the main center tube is 2x2. With the main center tube being 2.5x2.5x.25 so that I can make an interchangeable receiver for it. I think it would be nice to have a ball on the road and a pintle for off road.
If you were going to build it what would you change? Are there any points that you think will need extra reinforcing? What wall thickness do you think that I should use? Is it generally too big?
