Been thinking about building a trailer for a mix of long weekend trips, maybe some extended stuff. I think I like the rtt tent style over the teardrop, if just due to having most of the materials on hand to build one.
I see 2 common styles of them on here - the "lidded tub" and the "cubby style". The lidded tub seems to be common due to the availability of used small military trailers. I can see the advantages of flexibility in storage, ease of construction. However it seems like it may be a pain if you forget something you needed after the tent is deployed, plus you have to worry more about cargo control.
On the other side you have ones built with drawers, pullouts, cubbies, drop down tables and more. I can see some real advantages here - can get to everything with the tent open, everything is somewhat already cargo controlled, easier to keep it packed and you have some of the tables and related items already built in. Downside is a more complex build, and you could potentially do a design you hate and create a lot of rework.
I'm leaning toward the cubby style, I have a decent supply of 2x2 tubing and dozens of heavy duty drawer slides. I wanted to hear some opinions from people who have used one or the other.
