After a bunch of thinking over the winter and consulting with Geriann (my beloved wife) we decided on a floor plan which I did a mockup of on the garage floor using various parts from the salvage job. The finished travel trailer will be 77" wide by 15' long which includes a 3' pointed front section. It will be a single axle which I have already cut in half and added about 7" of tube in the middle so that the wheels will ride outside the walls of the trailer. In other words, no wheel wells. This is with the hopes of some day converting the axle and suspension some day to a drop down system like you sometimes see with ice shacks. Here's a picture of the layout.
I know it's not the finest picture and hard to make out what's what, but basically there's a full size bed in the back which will flip down into a dinette. On the back wall is the fridge, sink, stove, then up front (in the nose section) is the biff and shower.
The frame is built from steel salvaged from the two crashed campers. Here's a photo with it upside down as I'm welding things together, then another after painting.
Next I'll be working on getting the deck installed.
