Well I should be ordering the motor/controller today or tomorrow! Here is hoping. The teardrop trailer needs to get finished (doors and trim still needed) before I can start on this project, so it still might be a week before I can start making any progress.
Robert: Yup, I know that it is an inefficient method, but it's also the most practical and should be the easiest to fabricate. I'll probably get a block heater at some point since the engine will never warm up under heavy electric assistance.
Jerry: Ayup, that's my back up plan if the belt method ain't work. Every thing seems to have advantages/disadvantages at this point. I'd worry about gearing with the single gear ratio though. I've also considered a pusher trailer, mainly so I can switch it easily from car to car, but don't know how that would drive either. It's worth looking into though.
