5x10 square teardrop

Postby yycwrangler » Wed Feb 01, 2017 6:37 pm

Hi Everyone

New to the site. Have had boler trailers, volks westies, tent trailers and now I want to try a teardrop. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of DIY plans for 5x8 or 5x10 square type teardrops as opposed to the traditional. I'm thinking of the Panther or Moby design. I've started looking in the non traditional section and will continue to do so but I'm sure there are links I'm not even aware of that would take me to sites that would help me out in my DIY trials and tribulations.

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Go into the design library and look for a Simple, that is close to a Moby and a Rimple is close to a Panther

Here's a link http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=24959to a similar build, by Stomper XJ, that inspired a lot of people, both here at TnTTT and at Expedition Portal forums. My squareback/simple is totally angular, and all straight cuts. Definitely non-traditional.

I didn't have any plans to look at, but had plenty of plans in my head when I started building my square drop. I don't know if it will help you any, but here is the link to my build journal. I would be happy to answer any questions. Just in box me a message if I can be of any help.
