My "Teardroplet"

Postby Kelleyaynn » Tue May 19, 2009 2:01 pm

I'm not ready to build a full teardrop, so I'm thinking of building a camp kitchen/storage trailer. I found a 40" x 48" trailer, and designed a tiny "teardroplet" to fit. Images are to scale.

Ah, but you could extend the trailer out 24" and build some foot room under the galley and then, guess what? You got a place to sleep.. albeit catty corner.. :oops:


But regardless, that s a cool little design. :thumbsup:

Yeah, but as I'm going to try to build this myself (doing it with my husband would be akin to hanging wallpaper together), I want it simple, simple, simple. I have no woodworking skills past junior high woodshop.

That's more than a lot of us had before we started building our teardrops. :lol: A bit of advise - from someone who didn't take this advise from the board - keep the concept of teardrop time in mind. Enjoy the build and don't feel rushed.

I never saw this post go by ........

Here is my attempt at a 3'6 wide by 6' long chuckwagon with
four 18 x 18 x 4' storage lockers and a mini galley.

It is also built on a 40 x 48 HF trailer frame.

It's a tall motorcycle trailer.

If you're not making it a sleeper, you could make it a full chuck wagon with everything needed for cooking, food plus all the camping gear.

:thinking: And here's a wilder idea: A slide out the front for your legs IF you ever do have to sleep in it.
