Wife and I have been working on something else in the evening also. Designing a Teardrop trailer. I installed a hitch on our car just before starting the lawn sprinkler task. Needed a way to tow home a ditch digger.
So that was step one. Now I am squirrelling away money from our checks. Will be able to buy a Harbor Fright 4 x 8 heavy duty come February.
So after that we can accumulate the build material. Mostly 1/8" ply and white foam, and some Poplar. I have a 1000lb tow limit and 100lb tongue limit.
We are not small people so need a queen bed to be comfortable. Sets the minimum size. A 10'x5.5'TD.
White is such a limit, so before even hoping we could build on I had to figure out the wight. Wrote a spreadsheet to figure it out. So far I am at 600lbs before loading it out with gally, bed and supplies. Looks like I can do it.

I will be able to hauls airplanes in it that I just can't do in the car. So it will be airplane related, sort of.
Wish there was a place on this site to post it.
