Pretty much the finished article, although I'm not sure about the jerry can holders.





Cheers
Steve

Needs flat guards IMHO. It's also an extra "table" either side of the unit.

The doors from Reiner are rounded corners so that part may be easier to fit up rather than the odd shaped doors you have.


cheers

I thought about flat guards for exactly the same reason, nice table or just somewhere to put the beer, easier to make too. I might mock that up tonight or tomorrow.

The doors from Reiner are too much for my budget, especially if I put one on either side, I'll be making my doors

I'm also looking at modifying the frame slightly so I can hang the spare underneath, I could put it on the tongue but want to move the weight back closer to the axle. Maybe hang it under the rear as close to the axle as possible and move the jerry cans to the tongue to help offset the weight... any ideas?

Cheers
Steve

Maybe put the jerry can on the left side next to the door, and the spare on the right? Leaves underneath free for possible water tank, and more space at the rear for a wheel guard/table combination.

Maybe a larger piece of wood that sits flush against the left wall, and folds down to make a decent table? Could sit at the same height as the kitchen bench inside.

If you can do the sums on weight and the spare is no bigger than a 31" then you can balance a jerry on the opposite side.

Been done - ref pic. (only one side shown and there is a jerry on the other)

However my spare will be on the drawbar as the axle will be slightly forward to compensate. I also have a limited budget and will be fabin' my own doors.... Most teardrops don't run water tanks and have removable, camp type containers. Most are put together as weekenders, not long distance touring. But that can change...

More, tyre underneath (It will be up a bit higher than this but it's not exactly low) at the rear, jerry cans at the front with a storage are accessed from the inside so when I go to bed I can put the torch and midnight snacks in there etc.



Square guards for resting beer on, tail lights in hatch, hinge for hatch located correctly and pivoting in the correct spot so I can work out how to run the seal etc.



Cheers
Steve

10% is what you should aim for for ball weight.
Have you seen how my spare drops down from underneath?
