Hi Bill,
Thanks for the suggestions. Room for
solar panels is a challenge especially with a curved roof so I like the idea to put them on the side boxes. I was thinking of the outside doors of the side boxes swinging down to make a table while cooking outside.
Maybe a hinged awning over the front window could be a solar panel?
This will be minimalist. Not designed for luxury but a few comforts. Whomever uses it can do as much finishing as they want. I’m just building the shell. I’m skilled at framing and construction but my finishing skills need practice.
I hear you about having some tongue weight on the trailer. I had a
hay trailer that whipped and it was scary. Previously I’ve adjusted the weight distribution of my trailers by placing heavy cargo in the front and over the axle of the trailer and light cargo in the back. But this doesn’t help when it’s empty so it needs to be built with enough weight forward.
I like the idea of a translucent roof but I’m thinking of some foam insulation. It’s cool and chilly here in the Puget Sound most of the time and a cozy warm space is what I’m thinking of. I’m thinking a few candles will warm it if there’s some foam insulation.
