Dressing room off teardrop

Postby beverlyt » Mon Jun 14, 2004 5:54 pm

Has anyone tried building the attachment to add a "dressing room" to one side of the tear? I believe it can be found in some of the older plans from years ago. You just sort of slide the curtain back and forth?

Yep, something like that Gage. How is it hooked to the teardrop?

I saw one once that someone made out of pvc pipe. It was about 3 foot square and they stood it up next to one of the doors. It had a shower curtain (non see-through of course) on it. They kept their porta-potty there and also used it as a dressing room. It was just as tall as a shower curtain and came apart for transport.

I'll have to see if I can find a picture.

That sounds just like the one in the "RV Crazy movie" in the sticky.

I know which one you're talking about. It was a curved pipe that was attached to their roof rack where the curtain could be pulled around. That one was pretty cool.

Here is something similar to what I was thinking about.

We've got a "privacy" curtain/room for a pontoon boat. It has a zipper door, open at both ends... hooks on both the top and bottom. The top is made to hook into the canopy of a pontoon boat and the bottom would hook to the floor of the boat. The pvc sounds like a good idea. Lightweight, etc. Wonder how they hook it to the tear..

I think this the one that Nick is probably talking about.

The other one Bev is attached to the roof of the tear via a awning rail located along the upper edge of the roof. The room addition just slides in and then two polls hold up the extended portion. It's real simple to put up and gives another 5 square feet of space. That pic I posted is a friends but mine is about the same. Mine is held to the tear via snaps. All three sides roll up durning the day if you wish.

Have a good day,
Gage

Now that's pretty cool Gage. We use our canopy next to the tear and put down the 3 sides when we want privacy. Your system looks easier.

Okay - now how do you guys insert your pics in your message?[/url]

Privacy rooms

Postby dmb90260 » Wed Jun 16, 2004 7:15 pm

Sportsman Guild (http://www.sportsmansguide.com ) has a number of styles under Tents. I picked up a very nice one that I can fit my 6'4"frame into very nicely but that one does not seem to be offered right now. They have a the Zodi heater and other useful items too.
This particular item might be the perfect thing to complete decor for that "other room" http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=138496

Insert an image? It's actually quite easy, but it's a 2 step process.

Step 1) Upload your image to your webpage

Step 2) Put your image in your message using this format...

Does that help?
