Thanks for the comments on the fiberglass 'egg' tiny trailers - Casita, Burro, Scamp, are there other major brands? I learned checking for wood rot would be important if buying one used.

We tent camped on the ground until infants, then if bad weather was forecast we would still go, but used a tent trailer.
(Photo, Nevada desert). Kids grown and no longer available to helps set it up, we sold that and went back to tent camping.

Now older, a small enclosed trailer looks mighty inviting.

Bigfoot, Trillium and Boler come to mind. They make new more modern Trillium trailers in several sizes now.

Ya, the Fiberglass RV forum is the good one. They cover a lot of the old manufacturers. Scamp & Casita are the main ones still around. Escape is higher end & newer.

Boller, Burro, U-haul & a handful of others are no longer around. But with as solid as the shells are there are many of the trailers still around in great shape, or at least with the important structure in great shape.

https://www.casitaforum.com is a Casita only forum I use a fair bit. Leans a bit towards newer end of trailers. Think there are Scamp forums as well.

Thanks, everybody! I bookmarked those sites for further study.

Chris, an Admin, asked me to repost this pic. It would not post from my IPad 4
via TT Pro. I messaged it to my phone and it worked. This is from Safari on my
Ipad 4.

Okay, I cannot figure out how to post pics from my Ipad 4 from a web browser. Sorry Chris. I値l need some help.

Here is the proper way to secure the load... the steel will help hold it in place!

Reminds me of an old British TV short called 'The Plank'. Freaking hilarious!!!!! Aside from Benny Hill and Monty Python, it's easily the funniest thing I ever saw in BritComs. I see two versions, different dates. Not sure if they're the same or maybe just updated:

The Plank (TV Short 1979) - IMDb

The Plank (1967) - IMDb


Those what do veedeeeooos should be able to find one or both easily enough. Must See TV for this thread and the post above.

From FB. At best I see 1 strap at the front. Maybe.

I see that fairly often, and log trucks are about every fourth or fifth vehicle on the road here. What isn’t so obvious unless you are beside it or they are skylined, is the cable or two cables over the load between every bunk. I don’t know if that’s the case in this pic, but it’s very probable.

Funny, I never heard of that incident. Should have had Bruce Willis jump on and cover the air intake with a jacket.

I thought these things had four air filters in a row. Call in Chuck Norris, JCVD and Tom Cruise too then

I see this all the time around here. Not sure why they do it.
