Two random ideas:
Inflatable ribs or stiffeners might be useful, vs trying to get the geometry right with long rigid supports.

I once saw a kit that used heat shrink boat wrap over a lightweight frame to make a greenhouse structure.

This is trully the Rolls Royce of Tiny & mobile. its pretty much done with the same approach as a yatcht and its a sight for sore eyes

AWESOME! This adds an entirely new dimension (no pun intended) to my budding Tiny House knowledge. I am eager to see more from this out of the box thinker!

Thanks Mike & Kent… I agree. I’ll need to do some research first to figure out how best to design such a structure.

I agree with Kent comments. The idea of a modern covered wagon, potentially a new direction in design. I would love to see your ideas (as you get time in your busy schedule).

Wow! That is one cool tent trailer and such a neat idea. I like your idea of extending it into a modern covered wagon. Looking forward to seeing some of your future designs that stem from this creative idea.
