Step 0 is clearing out a space for the build...

First build hint - buy the trailer from NT through Amazon, save $100 or so in shipping costs.

I ended up not liking the interior height of the Wyoming Woody design after doing a cardboard mockup, so I've spent the last couple of months redesigning the teardrop (and learning Autodesk Fusion 360 along the way)

... and it's done! We took it to Kentucky for the eclipse last weekend, everything worked great and nothing fell off!
