Hello Carson, I see. I thought that everyone had their own ideas about what their perfect RV may be for them and would point those out in my own trip of discovery. I never asked anyone to design per se, but you're right that it would be senseless for me to continue to ask questions knowing that...

Hello to all Anybody in here? So quiet in here you can hear a mouse p'ing on cotton. No one had answers to any of my questions?  :o No opinions whatsoever on the telescoping bathroom and telescoping mechanism at all ??? Wow. This family is a tough crowd. Well, okay. I'll keep going and...

Whoops... :-[ I forgot to attach the sketch. Here it is. Sorry. J

Hello to all, As promised, here is a preliminary sketch of the mechanism for telescoping the trailer without a motor or manual labor and of course, everything must serve a dual purpose in this design to reduce weight so, it also incorporates chock blocks. Any coments are welcomed and if anyone...

Good evening to all, I made found time today to doodle a bit along the lines of my initial thinking about a car towed trailer. I have attached the file with my thoughts on weight estimates and the preliminary sketches. Any input or comments on the layout would be most welcomed just bear in mind...

Hello to all, You are of course 100% correct on all points. I wrote flex but I meant to say motion or better yet, displacement from centerline. Thanks for the catch and excellent observation. Side forces are as you said, directly related, but more in wind force than area because wind force...

RV Roamer, I went, I saw and I was most unhappy. :'( The 2000 and 2001 guides have most of the information for cars. It appears that the engineering baseline is 2000# and aproximately 1.6 to 1.9 times greater for towing ratings with special towing packages as I mentioned in a prior post. I...

Woah! :o If that isn't a pucker moment then it is definitely time to change the shorts. Remarkable and spectacular. The person driving that vehicles is a stupid menace to all living things. Not only should he not have tried it with such a small vehicle, but he should have stopped when...

Hello to all, Okay. Here is what I have calculated and observed from the summary provided for perusal. As already noted in prior posts, accommodations are scant at best and it would be extremely difficult for full timers or even extended campers to live in harmony unless you live outside...

Hello to all, Rbell, that Trail manor is outstanding. Right now it is without a doubt my favorite. I think the foldable does a god job of separating the accommodations, but there is no privacy. The 2720 is my all time favorite. RVRoamer, Thank you for the link to the different TT summary. It...

Hello RoyM, Regrettably, I agree emphatically and could not have said it any better. This pretty much hits the nail on the head dead on target and this is exactly the reason why my focus is on the travel trailer. Cars will always be left wanting and trucks are as you pointed out, the supply that...

Good Morning to all, I think I see the big picture. I used my 300C only as a comparison and was realy trying to establish a generality for al cars because it seems that a large population is excluded from the road lifestyle because they have cars, but I checked around a bit and came up with...

Hello Rick and Cheryl, I apologize if I created any confusion. Basically my question pertains to the lack of travel trailer with car combinations and I pointed out some of my observations leading to my thinking. In a way, your response is helpful. You know, buy a big truck and whatever makes me...

Hello to all, I?m a newbie to the forum, but have been lurking and learning. Lots of info from experienced minds. We have been giving serious thought to an RV for retirement cruising and I have come across 2 conundrums in the RV community which I would like to belabor. These gaps exist because...
