Teardrop trailer campers

Construction would be lifted from the 1952 Silver Streak I used to own. A central tubular spine, C-channel crossmembers tipped with carriage bolts into the deck.



Flip-out step/porch and a Gothic door.

Edit: An example fender:

Tongue weight: Your trailer's tongue weight is the force the trailer tongue puts on the hitch. This weight is transferred to your tow vehicle. For safety, you want your tongue weight to be around 15%-20% of the gross trailer weight.
