Build a big bicycle trailer.
Build a box on top.

?

Related pic seems a little bit shit. I know it's been built but it could be much simpler.
Personally I would go with a converted bike trailer (freecycle that hoe, plenty in people's sheds that get chucked every year).
The sturdiest one you can find, preferably a 2 wheeled metal one and build up from there.
The advantage is that it's detachable and easier to make and is more functional and certainly more realistic... I wouldn't want to go over a bump in that bitch else it would all come down.
Make it from something lightweight... pic related.

i want to be able to move in it around the europe (spain/france and maybe italy) in summer for about 2 mouths.
i guess i will need some solar panels for radio and electric fridge (or do /diy/ have any ideas how to keep food with out spoiling it?)

>>98484
Refrigerators use A LOT of power, they'll make short work of your solar watts.
Just buy foods that don't need to be kept cool. Or buy a cooler and lots of ice.

>>98484
Keep cold meals i.e tins while on the road and stop at villages and shit for good stuff.
Spain is sunny and so is the south of France so solar panels are a pretty good idea for the radio and other small shit but don't rely on panels for essentials.

Keep it all lightweight, PVC and aluminium. You do not want to be carrying shitloads across a couple of countries.
Make fires for cooking or eat tinned food cold. Bring a saucepan and you're set.

You want to be as minimal as possible. It needs to be about 6 foot long and if you can sleep curled up then you can fit more at your feet.

>>98484

Keep only canned and dried foods. Buy perishables as you need them.

>>98485

this leaves me with can food.
now other question, wouldnt this metal trailer make me freeze in nights?

>>98494

Also what about rain, what material should i use to prevent any leak?

This is retarded. Make a trailer with a tent or some kind of folding shelter. What you're talking about here is likely to get you killed on a busy road because it will have zero maneuverability. not to mention the weight - good luck getting over the Pyrenees and/or Alps with this.

it's called bike touring op

If you can't haul it don't bring it.

Have you ever been bike touring OP?

i was planing driving only on some rural areas but it looks like i build my own trailer will just end up as a fail
>>98506

>>98536

i did once some camping with friends for weekend but it was on campsite yet bike touring seems interesting.

>>98547

I have experienced it as very interesting. Yet, I highly doubt the feasibility of dragging your DIY caravan. Look at 98529, that's the way to go.

is that mao zedong

>i was planing driving only on some rural areas
If anything this is probably more dangerous. Imagine trying to evade a collision or stop suddenly with your huge heavy contraption behind you on narrow winding roads with agricultural machinery, animals etc.

>>98476
IMO an idea worth of considering wolud be to build a solid basis where you would be able to set a tent and it could be used as a wagon. The center of gravity would be surely lower, side wind wouldn't destroy it so fast and it would have lower air resistance. Pic related.

Anon, got a link? That's great!

this is awesome

Here is a example

http://www.amazon.com/Kamp-Rite-Bushtrekka-Bicycle-Trailer-Oversize/dp/B002KKBT9Y

Why not just get an aussie style swag, and a regular bike trailer? swags weight like 10kg, and keep you warm dry and comfortable.

>>98653
not OP, but i kinda want one of those now.

>>100238
>10kg
>swag

pick 1, because a swag is no where near 10 kg. i have 2 swags, a lightweight one and a extra large thick mattress one. together they weigh about 6kg. 10kg? kid, you need to shut the fuck up when you dont know what you are talking about.

>>98485

my minifridge is 35 watts per YEAR, yo

>>101018
Please tell me what kind of fridge this is.

Saying your fridge uses 35W per year is like saying my car travels 100km/h (mph) a year. Nonsensical units seem typical for your average wank.

Unless you're planning to travel through some kind of a huge plain, there is no way you're gonna make it. Try bike touring and you'll find out, that even carrying only most necessary stuff (tent, sleeping bag, food etc.) might be extremely hard, especially while riding steep terrain.

>>98653

The Amazon listing says this thing weighs 68 pounds. That seems heavy to drag around behind a bike.

>>101157
It would come out to like .1 watt a day or .004 watt an hour. I want to know what kind of magical refrigeration unit this is so I can buy 30 of them and power them all off of a single watch battery for a week. I know that who ever posted it was unclear to what the big yellow sheet was trying to tell him but I'm going to safely assume its a 35 watt fridge so I'm guessing 12 volt 2 amp fridge. Either way, 35 watt's is impressive depending on how big it is.

possibly fridge like this?

with a design like this you cant stand and pedal.... big flaw when you will need to do that to get up hills.

Also faggots who do bike touring stink worse than sin.

Think "pop-up camper" not caravan/trailer. The OP is an art piece, as cool as it is and as doable (is being done) idea. Have you seen the chassis on a pedicab? Sooo doable. My $.02 is look into modern yurt style materials, ( water/windproof clothe, Mylar coated bubble wrap,) extendable poles/tent style hoops, or get real 21 century and stitch and seal vinyl coated clothe into inflatable tubes through your tent structure for support, raise the roof with a foot pump. Ultra light weight structure means more comforts you can have on hand. Whats more important, lugging around 100+ LBS of fender bender can destroy my rigid/frail home, or 100+ LBS of food/amenities tucked away in the floor of my transformer trailer/ inflate-a-yurt.
Like I said $.02, but WHEN I build mine I'm going to be laughing at those who think, snow birds in a winnie, instead of lightweight mounted nomad, but hey it's your legs.
