How about a retro teardrop travel trailer big enough for a queen size bed, AC, TV and exterior kitchen galley?
Don’t ask me how much time and money I have spent on this. It is a sore subject in the house ;)
Or when it will be finished already…

Nice project you have going. Very nice looking framing. Now if you don’t have some little old lady take it out at a stop sign(happened to me with my 15 minute old motorcycle) I’m sure you will enjoy it. Keep us posted,interesting project.

Thanks all. It has been a fun project. We had a hard winter followed by a hard summer here in Dallas, so I have not made the progress on this that I had hopped. I need to get the thing finished up…

Hi! So, whatever became of your teardrop project. I own a commercial one (little guy) but love to watch the builders. Do you belong to the TTTnT (Tiny trailers) forum? Lots and lots of build blogs there.

Yes, I belong to that forum. I even went on one of the camp outs to check out all the teardrops.
That project is going on “Teardrop Time” as regarded on tnttt….
I have done some additional bondo work, and acquired some more of the hardware (hinges and such), but no major progress has occurred yet. It is way too big to forget about though ;)
I should have bought a Little Guy. It would have been cheaper and faster.
