Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

hey, everybody has to have a hobby

Hey don't forget about having a Dutch Oven dinner. with the and , I am already thinking of my second can't help it. It is just addictive.

um... isn't that proposed meeting just a typical TD gathering?

Ned, Yes, but to be a real “trailerholic” you need to have 5 trailers ...

Hello, my name is "Tac" and I am a trailerholic ....
Yep, I have 5 trailers. But only one is a teardrop. (for now)

Tac, that’s how it all starts .... first the “gateway” trailers and then on to the hard stuff, like cabins and Coleman stoves, Cast iron pans .... and Beer

Doc,
I know...
I'm already thinking I need a "birthday" Coleman lantern...

Does the hay sled that I pull with the tractor count? if so, I have five with only one is a TD but I am thinking about my next TD I think it has to be a 5'5" tall and with AC and be 5x9, Then again perhaps building a 4x8 wood sided and foam/canvas roof will be my next one. Ok I let a little of the design information slip. I am still working on the designs of both. My other design calls for a 4x8 simple foamie which could still be my next one with a very special trailer extremely light weight trailer. The axle and wheels will weigh more than the rest of the trailer I think. We will see my friend is doing some testing right now.

Yes Mary , you’re an Honorary Member too ...

Still seriously thinking about this one ... But Not ready yet... So, I decided to make a scale model of the Zep . I do have some nice cardboard ,salvaged from a FSTV box, and some balsa wood for framing . Enough to make a 2” to the foot model , and a chance to not only check the building technique , but see how it looks overall , before building a big one ... maybe test a cool paint job ... Should be fun and informative , and it’ll be just about the right size to tow behind my RC truck ...

I been waiting............a scale model would work, at least we could, really see it!!! of course it is a little like a backwards camp master without raising the roof.

Not being one to follow the “chosen path" (obviously ) We like these er, “different” designs... It’s the new century ... time for us to make a camper trailer History of our own !!! .. Think about it... in 50 years people will be looking back at Foamies' saying : “ Oh , those old Vintage trailers “ ....

Still too cold (for me ) to be building outside , still haven’t scavenged enough materials yet for the Big one , but we’re working on it !!!

So for now a model will have to do ... and an easy way to mini-prove the concept ...

Of all your designs, the Zephyr is my favorite. I'd really like to see that in scale model... Can't wait!

were are the

No progress as yet , other than obtaining the materials ... and it’s supposed to be COLD again ... Good for indoor activities ... like building trailer models ...
