I like the old RVs with a station wagon welded to the roof as an upstairs bedroom.

If I ever went mobile, I would want a housetruck. Google 'Rolling Homes' images to get an idea of what I had in mind.

I have a teardrop camper drawed up that will tote the dresser.
Must be 4 feet wide up the middle and stong enough frame..
Really tempted to try some vacuum forming in a buddies 18 foot long powdercoat oven.. that Scamp twinkie trailer?? remember it??

I got in there with a tape measure.. the harley wouldn't fit.. even if I opened up the door in the back and reinforced it.. so.. I came up with a set of axles from a old honda civic, some struts.. am machining the parts to hook them to a chunk of house trailer frame.. then will build a aluminum skin.. or try some vacuum forming.
I got sketches if you want to clone or beat me at building my trailer..
A motorhome? eldorados rule.. FWD.. put house trailer axles behind them.. saw two car haulers done like that now..
I sold the twinkie.. to a young couple who came up from Florida to get it.. Made a adventure out of it..
Excuse me, I farted.
I remember cruising the roads thirty years ago seeing a pickup truck with a home built "camper" on it. The camper resembled a small cedar shingled shack which had a stove pipe sticking out the top. The door had a half moon on it. Home made checker cloth curtains in the windows. My favorite part was the sign....said "Don't laugh, your daughter might be in here."
I was thinking of making something like this to tow behind my 77 VW Westfalia. just a shower, throne, sink and generator. The door is the tricky part.
