Even if you don't have a teardrop yet, come and join us for lots of good food, lots of fun, more good food, lots of ideas, lots of great people, and oh, did I mention the food?

Hi Shane,

Welcome to the forum. Boy, with that many people helping, you should be done in no time. Do you have a design picked out yet? You might check out the "Hall of Fame" at the top left of this page for ideas that others have come up with. If we can be of help, just ask. We like questions, and on rare occasions, we have the correct answers.

See you around.

thanks Mike C. I have alot of questions. First WOW, there are some really nice TD's you all have. Is there a thread that has complete instructions to build one including wiring (heating, cooking, cooling, etc)?

Shane,

Check out the Generic Benroy plans at the top of the page, right next to the design library

[sasquatchfound]

rbeemer, i looked and it seems that it is not complete. is there more to the instructions? Mine wont be exact to that one but it would help, being a rookie and all.



Thanks, Shane

I'd say those plans are about as complete as you'll find anywhere short of them building it for you.

If want want to look at some more info go to the search up top and put 'generic benroy' in the keyword search, check 'search for all terms',
in search options under forum go to Generic Building Plans hit search. It should give you some numbered threads that we were using when putting the plans together. Lots of info there too.

You might consider Steve Frederick's manual. He is very, very accomplished and has a website set up for support. I don't usually endorse products, but you can't go too wrong Steve. Here is a link to Camping Classics.Camping Classics You will want to click on the "Builders Manual" link....

I found this one a good source of information. and Joanne's dessert dawg build blog is great to. ( very good electrical design section )
Good luck on your build. Pictures are a must and you gotta share them!

Welcome to the forum, Shane!

I grew up in northern Wisconsin (still have a couple sisters and other assorted relatives back there), but am out in Utah now. MrBuzz is in Eau Claire and will probably be along shortly to say hi.

Have fun with your build!
