I’ve been reviewing “the Template” & Aerohead’s Full-boat-tail trailer with gap-fillers for Toyota T-100 pickup.
https://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...tml#post255980 This needs a re-read.
Using Template#2
To build the supreme example of boattail trailer for a 102” wide 132” tall MH.…
>11’ tall maximum roof camber (=22’d x 1.78) to a theoretical rearmost tip equals 39.16’. 90% of 39.16’ =35.24’
60% of 39.16’ = 23.5’….each 10% section is 3.914’
>using WAMair...(=22’dx1.9) to a theoretical rearmost tip equals 41.8’. 60% of 41.8’ = 25.08’
>8.5’ wide max camber (=17’d x 1.78) to a theoretical rearmost tip equals 30.26
60% of 30.26’ - 18.16’….each 10% section is 3.026’
>using WAMair...(=17’dx1.9) to a theoretical rearmost tip equals 32.3’ 60% of 32.3’= 19.38’
So, I’m thinking this trailer from ball hitch to the 60% cutoff of the sausage will be 18.5’ long, with the “tall” being about 6-8” taller than “wide”..where the taillights are attached.
...OR... a 5 foot straight section midway on the side to meet/catchup to the roof at 60% ...at 23.5’.
Is my math correct?
A castering wheelie bar, a tail-dragger...
.
32+24... this will be 56 feet long, will I need a different drivers license?
It appears that the Full-boat-tail trailer wheels are at a similar track as your T-100….as trailer is near the width of the truck at the axle, likely because you started with a boat hull. Not finding fault, & considering your careful opinion...to achieve the 22* taper from the 102” front end width to the end, could the track be narrower, say 6’, and still be a stable tail to this airship?
I was thinking of painting this Desert Tan... but maybe Silver is more appropriate.
