need construction advice for trailer project

Post by goatherd »

Having herded sheep out of a tent and a traditional sheepwagon in my younger years, I am contemplating a return to the profession, but with goats. Am going to start building a rolling home on a trailer chassis (5th wheel or bumper pull, as yet unbought) and am looking for advice on construction.

My requirements differ somewhat from the traditional tongue-pull sheep wagon, or from many buses and house trucks:
  • about 20-24 feet in length to make a more decent living space for more than one person

    self contained for parking in town

    high ground clearance for very rough roads

    reasonably light weight construction, not top heavy

    reasonably well insulated

    PV power, hand pump water system, wood/solar water heat
any pointers or references would be much appreciated :P
