Hi-
I am a high school senior in Illinois. I will be making the trek to Alaska this summer with a friend. I was going to build a camper for my truck but began researching and saw the teardrop design. I just finished my last project (World Champion Youth Punkin Chunkin catapult) and am looking to turn my attention in this direction. Know-how and hard work are not a problem, but I want to keep this thing under $1000. I was wondering if anyone has used a minivan axle before. Any other ideas to do things inexpensively would be appreciated. But it has to be strong and be able to follow my 4x4 truck.
