Cool. The best part is you don't need to duck to get in the door :mrgreen:

I'm thinking about something like this when we finally sell the trailer...

http://www.autohomeus.com/rooftop/overland.php

I'd like to build one myself but getting it to set itself up when the box gets opened may be more engineering than I'm capable of...

Yes I bought a 1974 Boler
It is in excellent condition for a 37 year old trailer, yes needs some work but I will be using it as is this year until I decide what we want to do with it.

These things sleep 4, the kitchen makes into a double bed and the sofa at the front converts into bunk beds.
Kitchen has sink & 2 burner stove, new fridge and new cupboard doors.

Spec's:
Overall Length - 13'
Overall Height - 6' 11"
Dry Weight - 850 lbs.
Tongue Weight - 90 lbs.
Hitch Required - Class 1
Axels - 1 (Rub-R-Ride)
Electric Brakaes - Optional
Tires - 13", 4 1/2" X 5 bolt hub pattern (Ford or Chrysler)
Sleeps - 4/2
Inside Height - 6' 1"
Inside Length - 10'
Outside Width - 6' 8"
Inside Width - 6' 6"
Fresh Water Tank - 10 gal.
Fridge - 3 cu. ft.
Selling price in the 1970's - $1695.00 (wish I only paid that for it)

This unit included the factory awning.

As you all know I have been building a teardrop trailer, but with the chaos my life is in right now I do not have the time or energy. I could take a month off this summer to finish the teardrop or Joan & I could go camping =D>
The future of the partially built teardrop is yet to be decided

Thank goodness it's just the trailer - I thought you were going to tell us that you were partially powered by batteries!

Oh yeah... I hope I was supposed to wait for a phone call as instructed and didn't leave you stranded by forgetting to help move this. Glad it's home, anyway!

Ya didn't leave me stranded Matt :D Ebay trailer hitch arrived while we were on vacation, installed it in warm weather when we got home, everything worked out great. Thanks for the offer for a tow, if the weather remained at -20C I would have taken you up on the tow offer.

My neighbor has one for sale - they bought a VW van, and the trailer is in good shape. PM if you like, and I'll put you in contact.
