While I am thinking about pulling the trigger on a new Casita for reasons mentioned in the dark side post, I haven't yet done so. My problem, I don't need two small campers. I built my TD to slide on and off a 4 X 8 trailer which I periodically use as a trailer. I don't want to get rid of the trailer regardless of what I do. I may just keep the TD on the Trailer and use it strictly for the cold weather camping that I built it for. Other problem is, as long as the TD is mounted on the trailer, I don't use the trailer as a trailer as often as I would if my TD wasn't sitting on it. While I've never been much of a businessman, I don't really want to get rich off of the sale of the TD that I made and have used for the past 8 or so years. I spent over $3000 building materials for the thing, and am wondering if I could get 1/2 that much out of it by someone that has a trailer to mount it on. I built like a tank with 3/4" plywood sidewalls and insulated the sidewalls and ceiling and covered with aluminum. The reason I built so rugged a camper was because of the stresses I though I might be putting on it during the removal and mounting procedures. I wonder if there would be anybody out there in Teardrop land interested in a plain Jane TD (no sink and minimum cabinets because I use the shelf in the cabin for a laptop and to put my porcelain heater on) that really shines for cold weather camping for one person? I say 1 person, because being a 4 X 6 1/2' cabin, I didn't bother putting in a second door since I didn't think I'd ever need it for one person in that small of a space. If someone was interested, they would need to have a trailer with the axle mounted in the proper rear position. Since I use my trailer for other things, I never bothered moving the axle. I just use a very over designed box mounted to the front of my trailer that I use as a counter weight. The system that I have has worked great for me over the years. But as we age, needs change with them. Just testing the waters.
