Hello from Okeechobee, FL

[kk4ta]

Hello All,

The name is Tom and I have been working on my teardrop off and on for several months. It is based on the Cubby, but I have changed the shape and materials. I am using a 24 inch radius for the front and 36 inches for the back. The outside skin is 3/4 inch oak plywood and the interior and roof skin will be 1/4 in panels (not sure of wood) from Home Depot. I have the walls and bulkheads in, and the interior side walls cut. The bulkheads are made of 3/4 inch plywood with lath strips to allow the addition of the insulation.

That's where I am so far and I am looking forward to using the expertise of this group to finish the project. I am planning to put some cabinets and perhaps foldout shelves on the outside of the trailer--the primary reason for using more substantial plywood so that I can attach such things. Has anyone else done this?

I'll try to take some pictures this week end--both of my fat self and the trailer.

Tom

Yes others have made tables using various hardware to attach
to the side of their rigs.

Here are a few links to start till others give more thoughts.

I suggest you look at the galley pics to get some ideas for yours.
That way you might formulate what kind of cabinets you might
want to hang outside on the tear?

Hello from another Floridian. Welcome!!

Pensacola to Okeechobee, that's almost 600miles.

I know people say the same about Texas but when I cross into the FL border I say WhooHoo we're in FL! Then you realize it's 500 miles till we get home.

Steve just a thought for you. TinyURLs are only good for a short period of time... I can't remember if it was 90 days or 6 months... I remember looking at some old TinyURLs here on the forum and they don't go anywhere any more...

So if you want to preserve the information for a longer period of time, use the real URLs.

Mike...
