Cliff, yeah, that's the sort of thing - though I was thinking of something that sat on the body, rather than alongside it. Think of a 2x3 that somehow got curved around the body and was sitting in line with the sidewalls - then you don't have to get clever in attaching it to the frame, just rest it on the strongest bit of the body.

Interesting. I'll have to do some more thinking. Using ply on the sides would be wicked easy and fast, but I'd be throwing away 2 full sheets of ply. Maybe I'll use chip board, and put a couple temporary spars top and bottom to hold it together. This will only be used once.

, I have decided that I must take care of the existing teardrop before I can start another. So, as soon as the weather mellows here (monsoon season), I will pull the skin off the existing one and see how hard it will be to resore it. Best case, I can replace or repair the existing delaminated plywood. Worst case, I trash the whole thing and re-use the trailer.
