Does anyone know if there are any plans out there to do such a build?

Wanting to put a howling moon tent on top, bbq area, cooker, table etc etc ,can such plans /cutting list/assembley drawings be bought anywhere??
If not ill just make it us as i go along

I was only asking because there seems to be drawings left,right and centre for tear drop trailers i just wondered if any one had done a set for a trailer. Theres a gap in the market if you do make a set of plans.
I,m just flat out and want a trailer asap.

Theres a gap in the market if i do make a set of plans then and/or if i supply flat pack lasercut panels and folded to be welded or bolted together for a Sankey trailer or even supply a chassis
Indeed there could be a gap! As long as you make it flexible enough and a reasonable price range, could be considerably cheaper than the current Sankey based bodies that you can buy. Bodsys Brake Bible

Thanks for your comment
I've never had it weighed, but (apart from the chassis & frame), it's nearly all aluminium and can be manhandled with ease
I used to tow it with an 1985 110 and it didn't give me any problems at all Trust in those who dare and you shall also win.
