My idea is to build up the trailer using the existing lower walls, and add a barrel top that over hangs the frame. The lower "outside" would be storage, and outdoor kitchen. I'll hinge one side for a tilt up living space and the other side would be the sleeping area.

I guess I should have said, it will be for camping, boondocking only, as about half the time it will be far from civilization. I don't plan to Campground-camp as I am not interested in gawkers and guided tours.
