Hi all
Thanks for your continued interest
I have posted a few more pictures and one of the bit frame which will break and the windows.
There should be a health warning on that back door. Its taken almost as long as the rest of it.
Hi mikeschn
No the windows are fixed but smoked glass. In the UK we have a problem with being too cold not being too hot. Actually the main reason for building the teardrop is to extend the camping season into the autumn and spring.
Hi Nitetimes
You may be right. I will post lots of pictures if it breaks and you can all "we told you so" me.
I designed this Teardrop. (Actually copied most of your ideas). I could not reliably predict the position of the centre of gravity. So making the steel frame separately from the pod should allow me to move the pod around until the nose weight is right. I am aiming for 30kg 66lb. I have two cars, the second is a little VW Polo so the nose weight must be low. As main assembly is tomorrow I will post the actual nose weight then.
by E word do you mean Engineer? If so I make no appilogies. The day job -

I think the imperial system is easier to live with. However if you need to calculate anything it rocks. 1kg x 10m/s^2 x 1m in 1 sec = 10 watts Its all 1x1=1
