Well, I haven't been spending a bunch of time on hear lately but after dismantling/selling my pride and joy offroad toy, I found that it wasn't making sense to tow my daily driven JKU to go wheeling. I decided that I wanted a smallish trailer to pull behind the Jeep for some of our shorter weekend runs.
I started with a bunch or research which lead to a sketch of what I was thinking of trying to do. So, I decided on a 5x5x10 design with a dinette. Yes, I know that doesn't seem very popular, but I've been a bit spoiled with our truck camper and we can sit at the table with the roof down so that was kind of my benchmark for the teardrop. I wanted to be able to come in and sit if the weather sucks and still have an area for wet and muddy footwear after a day on the trail. I started with this:
With some ideas in my head I went out and purchased some steel, axle, temporary tires and wheels, some Baltic birch and started on this twisted journey. The frame is 2x2x0.120 and the tongue is 2x2x0.188 structural square tubing.
