Looks awesome Woodbutcher...a fantastic build that I am sure you are very proud of. Going to turn heads no matter where you go with that thing. And don't forget to grin ear to ear when you answer that inevitable question..."why yes, it is homemade. Care to see the inside?"

Thanks guys, but I had to many trailers so this one was sold back in 2013. Next year I will be selling my first teardrop because I bought a vintage trailer to restore. It's hard to let them go but I have a plan for another teardrop when the Silver Streak is ready to camp in and the Woodybago is sold. There is only so much space.

I will always have a teardrop. That will be my main trailer. The Silver Streak is very cool and I could not pass it up. But you can not beat the teardrop for traveling.

Woodbutcher wrote:Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'll post how the maiden voyage goes with a few pictures. I am really interested in how the folding capabilities will change how I camp. My first unit has a full mattress in it. But when there is bad weather, your climbing in and sitting on the mattress. With the folding option I can sit on a nice couch and work on the computer, plan the next stop or have dinner if need be. There is a small folding table that fits under the pullout.


Thanks Again,
Steve



Just reading through this build. You sir, are a fine craftsman. It is so refreshing to see an artist involved in his craft. My first though when I saw the floor was...a table is going to be raised out of it, so I wasn't surprised when you said one slides under the bed. Makes for a great stowaway place to. You certainly do beautiful work. :applause: :applause:

I know I'm dragging up an old post but where did you get your seat mechanism? Thanks Had to look back at some of your old builds. I learn something looking at your post over again.

Kim, they are the rear seats out of a Leisure van. This is the seat that folds into a bed. I just went to a Pick and Pull auto junkyard and found 2 similar seats. I think they were 25 bucks each. I stripped off the upholstery and made my own mounts and mattresses.

Again... What a great build and documentation... I enjoy "watching" from afar the neat craftsmanship of such a build... :awesome: :applause:

Can't wait to see what is next on your platter of projects... :roll:

BTW Woodbutcher, Have you thought about putting your build photos and instructionals in a book form?? :thinking:
Happy Camping & Building,
John (JC)
