Light Teardrop Camper Plans For Motorcycle or Small Car

undefined

LITTLE LITE The objective of the Little Lite design is to produce a small, light teardrop trailer suitable for the smallest tow vehicle including large motorcycles. This note describes and illustrates the design - working drawings follow after the text. To get the minimum weight, the trailer is built no stronger than it need to be to do its job and The Best DIY Plans Storeuses only single-skin construction throughout. The trailer will serve its intended purpose well, but is not suitable for other uses - if you want to also use your trailer to, say, collect scrap batteries for recycling, pick another design. To get the minimum size, the trailer has been designed to be low, no more than is needed to enable the occupants to sit up with their heads nearly touching the roof and to be not much longer than the bed length. To fit in two people in bearable comfort, the width has been kept at the traditional teardrop four feet - if the trailer is intended only for solo use, the body width could be reduced. There is no galley and no hatch at the back, to save both weight and size. If a full galley is wanted, it can be built it into a traditional camp kitchen box that sits inside the cabin during towing and is taken out at the camp site. There are no lockers inside - that would need a bigger trailer. But there is a large shelf over the ers' legs that provides somewhere to store clothes, ect while ing. The body sides hang below the floor just for the look of it and styled (or over-styled!) fenders are used to give the little 8" wheels some character. Ready-made fenders can be if so it would make sense to eliminate the overhang on the body sides. The completed trailer weighs approximately 280lb - a detail weigh estimate is included at the end of the drawings. I will mail you hard copies on 8 1/2 X 11 paper.
