Awesome response! Your solutions are a great step forward. Lovely design and renderings. You have approached the base much in the same way I was thinking. Ive been thinking about designing the base to be a continuation of the geometry of the pod in the same way but was concerned that it would look awkward and lumpy, however your design indicates that it does not. I just started to build the base pod in sketchup to test it out.
I also like that you have done away with the front box. The re-configuring of space appears to be successful too. For my part I would use a grill propane tank and would have to locate it at the front. I may have to come to terms with it on the front where you have located jerry cans as I am not a fan of their storage box.
I never knew about LineX either. It appears to be a better idea than Durbar plate on the underside. Im not sure but the underside would get a hammering in rain as well as stones etc. I think I would try your solution. Im also keen to see how the waterproofing of your side drawers works out. Im not close to a build yet and will spend some more time designing, researching and thinking.
Which trailer are you using? It doesn’t look like the one you purchase through CLC. I have researched these and there are quite a few that are much cheaper than their option.
Either way for what its worth – the two tone rocks! Didn’t think Id like the darker stain as the light color is so nice however it looks pretty good. .
I hope you keep us posted on progress.
BADASS DESIGN!!!
It seems that making a base storage box that is connected to the top, reinforced and sealed together with fiberglass and epoxy to be one is the way to go then accessed from lift up panels on the inside is the way to go. Placing drawers just above the chassis seems to be a difficult and problematic setup. The truth about this model of teardrop is that it just doesn’t appear to be long enough for the pull out base drawers for stove and cooler. At least not one that intrudes on the leg room for sleeping.
A 4-6 inch base storage could potentially work if built as part of the top.
If anyone has great ideas for sealing drawers then I’d love to know.
