Trust a Nurse to carry a medicinal survival pack.    :grin
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Winston, I too was looking into the possibilty of making a teardrop camper trailer, but wasn't going to use checkerplate.
Like the way it extends to accommodate a single berth, would be interested in seeing some plans if available.
Does it have some of the ideas your van carries too?

White? What the hell for?? Blue is a much more superior colour.

Check this out and count the votes... Hmm how many Blue.... And only produced in one year unlike White and Red.... How popular they are.....  Hmf, white indeed.... :well.    :p

Winston66,

Says,                                :rd13 :rd13 :rd13 :rd13 :rd13 :rd13 :rd13 :rd13 :rd13

I am not sure, I think that I am tired of looking at blue I do prefer a red one myself.

Cheers to all

I must admit I do like the blue ST1300, and would consider it if/when I can afford to upgrade..I'd probably buy x pol again and paint it a metallic  soft baby blue just 2 B unique...  :dred11
back to topic these are my survival kit.. my dog was the best companion during Chemo treatment, I couldnt ride coz of balance issues so my ST was the cleanest its ever been...

Winston66,

Hi Bloodbikes,  Yes you have guessed it, I will admit that that video of that little camper outfit caught my attention and my  expanding teardrop sort of developed from that, and I admit that that video was the seed for me.
However I made some radical changes and modified the concept a lot in order to encompass what I felt were improvements and also what I thought would suit me better.
I am in the middle of a write up about the build and I hope to post it soon.
Cheers,  Winston66

Winston66,
Hi Joso and IanB,
Thanks for the kind words,
To answer your questions,
I have not weighed the trailer but estimate that fully loaded it should not exceed 200 Kg.
Comprehensive details and a write up about the build is posted on the forum under , My Expanding Teardrop trailer build.
I posted that in the last couple of days.
Cheers ,
