I can tell you the cost of building these trailers would be significantly more had we costed in the beer and rum.
Not to mention my cousins son and his bourbon. We have very much enjoyed the build.

At least on mine. Still to complete the cousins rig and then do some weekend trials.
Will put up more photos of his build as we go.

Love the teardrops, prefer the rounded design but definitely understand why you opted for squarer, it is easier. And these things are about fun, not work!

I really like this one - Looks great.

How come you decided to have the cuts on the outside of the curve rather than bending the sheet toward the cuts? Then the cuts would be inside the trailer and not visible. Just wondering?

WAIT EDIT: I see you are covering in another skin anyway... as you were :goodjob:

Please don't let your hard work measuring and testing go to waste.
Put it all on a disc and make some beer money!

Although, If you were to make them again. What would you change/do differently?

I showed my Mrs and she's like "That's cool, you could build one for us" that's a rare comment from her.
If we didn't have a camper already this would be my next project.

I'd like to see more of the inside as it progresses further. Also a question, did you consider widening the body over in-boarded wheel arches to gain more internal space or would that defeat the ease of build?
