Does anyone remember those teardrop trailers from the 1970s? Great little lightweight camping trailers, a lot of them were home-built based on a 4x8 piece of plywood. A friend and I have started to make a regular date of doing some woodworking, I've been seriously considering building one of these and heading out on a short trip to some of the National Parks.
I'm going to try to post an image here, to give you a sense of what I mean by teardrop trailer. There are all sorts of designs, of course, but the basic idea is that you sleep in the front (no standing room, it's more of a "tent" type space) and then a back hatch opens up and reveals a kitchen. It's very clever. Some of the woodworking is absolutely beautiful.
