This link (http://www.doityourselfrv.com/free-teardrop-trailer-camper-plans/) will lead to a variety of free designs that you can download, but most will be inches instead of metric. Not sure where you will find plans in metric, as the bulk of the designs were developed in imperial countries, or locally, back when we were imperial.

A good website is "teardrops and tiny trailers" and there are heaps of designs and builds there.

Really inspirational threads.

While they focus on the usual 2400x1200 ply sheets you can now get aluminium composite 4mm panels in 2400x1200 and 1500x3000 so if you need extra height / length you can get it.

Have a ball!

thank you for your very kind offer .
my main reason for wanting the metric was because of the different standard sizes of material -
it's probably not so crucial with this sort of design.
I built a grandfather clock off american plans a few years ago --
it was a bit of a nightmare because of the different standard timber sections -
not impossible-- just a few more pages of calculations that I would have liked.
it all worked out well in the end
