Hi Richard,
Thanks for the welcome! After a couple of months of searching online I've pretty much come to the conclusion that what I want doesn't exist. I've been thinking if I could find a vintage trailer with damage on either end of a side panel I could "trim" it off and shorten the camper without defiling a perfectly good vintage trailer. LOL
The other reason I'm thinking of starting from scratch is because I'm a member of TechShop which is like having a gym membership but instead of exercise equipment everything is industrial arts machinery from a wood shop to welding to industrial sewing machines, laser cutters, a water jet and everything in between. Many of the machines are CNC meaning I can design elements on my computer and let the machines do the work for me!
I'm doing a ton of research ahead of beginning a build though so that I know I'm building exactly what I want and need. I've learned so much already by reading a bunch of forums but this is the first one I've joined.
Thanks again for reaching out. Looking forward to keeping in touch.
