Like that the entry isn't one of those standard RV door modules, also am intrigued but the "bedspring" addon they offer. Chesapeake light craft - great looks. lightweight, doable at home. I wish they offered a slightly longer version as the sleeping compartment involves your feet sliding into a slot at the head of the compartment. That might be a bit too cozy for my comfort. I like the general vibe of this one, though it's got that foot slot thing, too. https://metalpress.onlinemetals.com/diy-teardrop-trailer/ Must haves: Enough room for a 6 foot long mattress (like a queen). Has to be a real mattress, maybe latex? No memory foam or blow-ups. 12v solar charged battery pack to support a few charging ports and a little led lighting Nice to haves: aluminum exterior, wood interior (appleply?) forced air ventilation in the ceiling vent room in galley for a 2-burner camp stove storage? I like the CLB storage module that sits under the camper
