| This
a great little trailer for two people that I built
in 2007. A trailer for staying the night when traveling
far, rather than a difficult to range, fuel wasting
cottage on wheels (= a standard trailer),
that can be towed by a car with a certain effort.
Since
I have not been able to invent a better name for this trailer, I call it Sigge GT, or just the GT. (it's small, low and fast)
It has risen many thumbs up and interested looks on roads and camp sites
in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, France and
Italy.
Sigge
GT is somewhat larger than the original American Teardrop, and the model is
sometimes called a Maxi Teardrop. It is still far smaller, however, than
traditional caravans of modern design. The great difference compared to
traditional Teardrops is that Sigge GT has an indoor galley where one can cook
and eat. This is a sacrifice to the unreliable climate that we have to live with
in northern Europe. An other advantage with the bigger size is that the storing
capacity is greatly improved; one does not need to keep one's daily belongings
in suitcases in the car. There is plenty of room in integrated lockers and
drawers.
