I had Google summarize #1:
Quote:
The author is brainstorming ideas for a hitch-mounted, compact "bathroom trailer" for camping trips. They're overwhelmed with various options and considerations after spending time researching trailers and campers.

Here's a breakdown of their thoughts:

Their focus is on creating a lightweight, aerodynamic design inspired by a comment from "freebeard" about minimizing drag.
They acknowledge the practicality of a tent but desire the comfort of a dedicated bathroom, especially in cold weather.
They explore various concepts including:
A folding teardrop-shaped trailer with an aerodynamic top.
Nesting fiberglass boxes that unfold into a bathroom.
A small cargo trailer with a removable toilet that flips to function as a changing/shower room.
They consider materials like fiberglass and foamboard for their lightweight and insulating properties.
They recognize challenges like trailer width exceeding the tow vehicle and ensuring a sturdy base for a mounted design.
The author apologizes for the scattered nature of the post but feels compelled to share their ideas while dealing with personal situations.
I asked it to summarize #8:

The author is browsing Facebook Marketplace for a compact trailer or alternative solution to create a bathroom for camping trips. They're overwhelmed by various options and considerations:

Types of trailers:
They consider buying a used trailer like Burro, Casita, or Scamp (11-17ft, lightweight, $1000-$22500).
They briefly explore converting a car (Impala, Civic, Saab) into a camper but dismiss it due to lack of feasibility or needing a different car to tow it.
Hitch-mounted solution:
They brainstorm creating a compact bathroom unit mounted on the hitch of their car.
They consider materials like fiberglass and foamboard for lightweight insulation.
Other considerations:
Their main vehicle is a sedan with limitations on towing capacity.
They prioritize a lightweight solution with an aerodynamic design.
They need a bathroom with shower facilities, especially for cold weather camping.
They're currently dealing with personal situations (wife's surgery, helping mom move) that make it difficult to focus on this project.
The author is indecisive due to their current circumstances but is enthusiastic about finding a creative solution for their camping needs.
