I have been kicking around my travel trailer design for years now, and like all things it has gone through several changes. it is a good thing I have not started construction yet!!
Myself also, but I'm dangerously close to sliding into doing something.

60 to 64 what? Square feet? That's 7x9.14 feet. Here's my attempt at a trailer. Although it was intended as a teardrop, It would scale up to Airstream size. The rear entry is cribbed from the Bowlus, only backwards.



and here is the frame design, stolen directly from the 1952 Silver Streak Clipper I used to own. It had a central spine, steel C-channel crossmembers, a carriage bolt in the tip of each one and an aluminum C-channel plate to build the sidewalls on.
