Great looking bike, could use a little more of the trailer in the frame. [emoji2] Looks like you were in a real nice place when you took that. Maybe when you get some time you could do a few more pictures of them both. I know from your post on the board you can take some spectacular pictures.

Here is a picture of the back and entry to the camper. Front has a slider window with screen.
Front...
I built it myself. I wanted something that was more than tent but inexpensive. Looked around at teardrop campers but most were heavy. I was brainstorming with a friend and mentioned all I needed was place for me to slide into like the Japan business hotels. The friend just happen to have a industrial 36" metal culvert. All I needed was 6' since I am so short.
So I bought a small used jet ski trailer and painted both the tube and trailer. I also had metal ends welded with door and window cut out. I found a rv dealer who had some spare doors and window from when they actually built them on site. I put carpet around the inside. Had spare loveseat cushions for comfortable bed. Several years ago my girls bought me twin Harley sheets. I found cloth material with motorcycle pattern for curtains.

That's really nice, Janie & I really like what you did with the camper. Really great job of thinking outside the box (literally). Bet you sleep as sound as a bug in a rug. We are thinking of buying either a can am or trike sometime in the next 5 years and your trailer is a real inspiration for times we don't want to take the motorhome or just go cruise with the bike for a few days.

I see, John isn't the only that one appreciates the '[space]' emote as well. Nice [emoji106]
Diana did a fantastic job with her trailer. I'd bet, one day, it appears in a cycle rag!

I had hoped to go with it last year more but with what had happened in my Life during 2014 was not a good year. I did spend two nights in it and it was just great for a place to sleep. Had electric hookup when I met my brother in Jefferson City, MO so I took a elec cord hook to a poor man's air and fan and slept like a baby.

Found a couple more...

Really looks good. Like the shotgun shell look.

Double barrel 410 edition coming soon lol.
Could add some small storage tubes down below painted to look like 410 shells. Just a thought. But great job PCC

I have two ammo boxes that I bought at the Surplus in Springfield I think for $22 each. I was going to put on my Intruder at one time. Now thinking I might attach to the camper but still debating if I want the weight. Some plastic tubes looking like shell might be lighter.

Give you room for more clothes or souvenirs. Maybe a stove or extension cord for a small heater or fan. Tons of things you could keep in them.

You did good Diana.
I really like that. She has a knack for thinking outside the box. Since I have the smaller 800 I will have to think of something lighter,
but one that is big enough for me to sleep in and have room to store stuff. I do wish I had found a jet ski trailer instead of having to use a HF trailer.
