hello all,
My name is Stuart and I have been thinking of building a teardrop for some time now, so, having discovered this wonderful site and doing a lot of reading, I am beginning to formulate a plan. Looks like I will be building a light weight, traditional shaped tear using an aluminum 4 x 8 Northern Tools trailer. My tow vehicle has played an important part in any decisions regarding this build, I drive an old car with a small engine (1960 Morris Minor), so I need light weight and less frontal area. And then I found the Foamie .... and believe this is the direction I should take, perfect for my needs, light, easy to work with and .... insulation ... and living in Arizona, that is a big plus. I also need to incorporate a small A/C unit and my goal is to keep the weight to less than 500 pounds ... would be more than happy with a weight of 499.9 pounds, not too much of a challenge then. I am currently up to page 71 on the big thrifty thread in the foamie section .. only 400 pages to go. I will probably start a build thread as and when. Nice to meet you all, Stuart
