My camper sleeps two in a queen size bed, and one in the dinette/twin bed.
Hector modded his to sleep four, I believe. It's just under 7' by 12'. I can slouch in ours. I'm 6'2".

Yes, the original manual. Steve thanks for the thumbs up! Means a lot coming from you. We would never have started, much less finished, if it wasn't for your manual. We promote it to anyone who expresses a serious interest in building. I know we rare responsible for at least two purchases here on the west coast! ;)

I was just looking at this and realize that the ShopManual is now 8-years old
and I've sent it all over the world.
Thanks to all for the support!

Hey! Merry Christmas!
For anyone interested; until the end of January, buy the ShopManual and get the Rondack Lodge plans free. Just order the manual. Don't order the bundle.

Steve..I would imagine it is a great accumulation of detailed info for the inexperienced wood worker( you know things we take for granted yet can't quite put into precise words)...Congradulations on the contribution to the DIY :applause: Having been in this field for over 30 yrs I can relate to a lot of the building system you have come up with....And we have somethig else incomon.......

First Post here! I thought I would revive the thread and say that I bought the shop manual after reading the info about it. I'm going to use it to get an idea of how to build the trailer, I'm a pretty handy guy but I need some guidance on the design so I don't pick an odd dimension that will throw off the whole project. I'm sure the $$ will be worth it in the long run!

I think it's a marvelous document! :thumbsup: Best teardrop related "tool" I ever bought.

Hi guys,
Would this shop manual be appropriate for a TTT as well? As opposed to a teardrop? I have sketched my own plans but need advice on how to make it happen (actually build it). The reviews all sound great, so I'm wondering if the techniques are transferable to a different type of trailer.
Thanks!
(can't wait to get started!!) :D
