So project was on hold while my Jeep got a new engine.

I think I am going to go a offroad teardrop / roof tent hybrid trailer with the kitchen and eating area inside and sleeping upstairs when folded out. I will also be able to sleep on the ground if bad weather does not allow us to open the top.
It will be made out of wood with some steel tubing to make the walls strong.

Sweet drawing.

I'm really interested to see what you can pull off while maintaining a small footprint. I've always liked the idea of a super-small offroad caravan, as I'm pretty much the exact opposite of claustrophobic (I tend to sleep better in confined spaces).

What overall dimensions are you gunning for (ballpark)?

[WebDog]

Well the trailer frame is 7 ft long, I figure the rear I can probaly get 1 - 1.5" more by angling the back out.

So it might be 8ft long and about 48" wide, height will be 48" tall when closed, but with the frame height of 22" the roof line will be around 6 ft.
