Vintage DIY Camper Plans – 'Wild Goose' Teardrop Pop-Up Travel Trailer

Reproduction of original 1953 vintage magazine plans for a clever combination pop-up / teardrop "Wild Goose" overnight camper. It tows low for stability, then pops up into an outdoor kitchenette in minutes: the curved rear deck hinges upward and is supported by a folding screen-door frame, with fabric sidewalls creating a sheltered cooking area.

Plans detail a welded steel chassis. Interior fittings include a studio couch with storage, metal-topped galley cabinet for a camp stove, refrigerator and sink cabinet with drop leaf, sliding-door wardrobe, and thoughtful access features like a fold-down rear step. The design emphasizes rigidity, accurate welding at channel bends, and waterproof panel construction for long service.
