I am tinkering with the idea of building a small cabin type trailer for sleeping/storage only.
My idea is taking an axle with a frame of about 5.5' wide x about 9' long.
Just use the floor space for me and the wife, rig up some kind of bunk type beds above for the kids.
Put a stowage compartment on the front.
Just for sleeping in and sitting if it's raining.
The floor would likely be 5/8" plywood.....but how would people suggest I go about building walls????......use sheet metal studs like used in commercial applications when building offices in an open space?......use 2x2's????.....insulation?
I would likely put in 2 electric outlets and use a 120v adapter to plug into hydro.
Outside finish????......inside????
I would want to do it myself, not buy plans for a teardrop trailer etc etc......
Want to keep it really light so my Toyota Corolla can pull it.
(It did pull a 6x8 steel utility trailer loaded with stuff pretty easy, so I know it is capable of at least say 1000 lbs load)
Just hunting for ideas/tips/suggestions.....
Thanks, yall
