Tear Drop camper trailers







With the price of fuel so high, it's a little pricey to go off for the weekend in the 4x4 and big truck camper.


So maybe with a little sweat and blood I can build a portable sleeper that I can pull behind the TDI VW. Save fuel and still have a great weekend in the boonies.

Here are some great websites on the topic if your interested.

Tom,

Thanks for visiting and linking to my site (jpodbuild.wordpress.com). It sounds like you have some experience with wallpapering. ha ha. So far we have only tried paint so I have no experience there.

As far as material lists for a teardrop, I have found a few. most of them are quite localized (purchases from local hardware stores and such) and there isn't much in the organized materials list dept. I am keeping detailed records of what I use and plan to publish a generic list of materials on my blog. However, I am not done yet so I don't have the list up yet. Keep checking in and eventually it will be there.

If you've been reading up on teardrop building and want to do it, I say go for it. It is fun and I am impressed with how spacious something that looks so small can be. Then I recommend that you and your Senior Management paint the inside and stay away from wallpaper
