A place for company. I will be adding more plants arround,maybe some vines. I do spend time out there, sometimes sleeping when it's cool enough.
Today, I took a 1/2 day of vacation, and finished fiberglassing all of the exterior seams on the teardrop. I also finished building the door and got it installed. The door is framed for a window that matches the one in the wall. I'll probably cut that out in the spring.
Thursday, I want to take another 1/2 day, and put another coat of epoxy on the outside. When that's dry, I can install the windows. At that point, it will be weather-proof, and we can move it out of the garage. I'm thinking of trying to get a trial camping trip in yet this year.
A tiny camp trailer we inherited from my wife's parents.

Originally designed by Bill Ward in 2008, this one is a modernized copy using the latest pieces available, making it look more realistic!
Credit goes to him!
NB: The transparent curved slopes (for the rear window) are not made by LEGO. ;-)
Fujifilm Velvia 100 (xpro), Diana+. Salton Sea Beach, CA.
This was an interesting area of Salton Sea Beach. The part of town near the highway was quite "normal", but this area down by the water was more like a trailer graveyard from the 1950's. Nothing but abandoned trailers and houses... and palm trees with no palms.
If you look close enough, this trailer appears to be puking up the garbage of decades past.
Model "Trailer Tr10b" is build with LEGO® in scale 1:17,5 and motorized using LEGO® Power Functions. It is not build after a specific brand or type of trailer. This build represents the well known typical US style spread or split axle flatbed trailer.
The trailer features: solid axle suspension on all axles, three sets of lights, kingpin, toolboxes, remotely controlled landing gear and parking break, remotely controlled liftable rear axle and many details.
Also can you build it yourself. To do so you can buy the building instructions and check the inventory/parts lists!.
The axle setup of a spread axle trailer is not just randomly picked. It really has a purpose and it all is related to weight. Commonly this axle configuration is mostly found on flatbeds, car haulers and refrigerated trailers and typical for the US.
The more tires means more rubber equals more friction. To reduce the drawback of it when it comes to playability the most rear axle is liftable.
It has an all aluminum floor installed with two nailer strips. So it is outlined with the decks frame which also holds the "winches" and retroreflective strips. From the outline in two rows of Plates, two lines of Tan colored nailers are followed by Red Tiles to represent the trailers main beams. In the middle there is this last strip of Plates as aluminum floor.
