Kampmaster or Wild goose

[Kman77]

Hey all i'm just getting into the teardrop scene. I've seen a couple old photos of the wild goose and kampmaster trailers, but havent come across any viable plans. I was wondering if anyone could steer me towards some workable plans. I have found the old magazine artical but wanted something a bit more indepth.

Any help is much appreciated

...try the "design library" up in the index at the top of this page.................

I built a hard sided, squared off version of the campmaster. So did Rayvillian and a couple others.

You can see our build here

Thanks for the idea, and I have seen the CAD drawings in the design library. I like your winter warrior but I was really interested in the original design and was wondering if more indepth plans are out there, or do I have a lost cause?

You'll just have to get a pad of graph paper, and make your own plan. But that can be a lot of fun too!

Thanks guys, looks like im going to have to go in half blind, but that just makes it all the more fun. Ill make a new thread and keep you guys posted when I find the time to start my project.

Any words of wisdom pertaining to teardrops I should know before I start would be great.

Thanks

I'm new here but from what i gather,the only way you can have too many clamps is if there is no room left to build your tear in.Other than that they claim you will not have enough.

[tinksdad]

And when you're done building the tear.... look at the number of heavy duty clothes pins you will have when camping!!!!

Here is a Kampmaster that was at the IRG.

I am building my own Kampmaster. I am using an exsisting trailer frame. I wasnt sure what the Kampmaster's width was. Someone said 6'. Mine is 80'' wide and 11' long. 14' long with the tongue. I have a couple of photos of where I am at this time with it. I just dont know how to post the photos on here. . Let me know if your interested in getting one built. I also will send photos of my other teardrop. Very custom.

There is a PDF of the original Wild Goose plans in the 'Vintage Plans' menu item. However, I'm not sure that following those plans will build you the ideal trailer today - some of the details are pretty old.

Incidentally, as far as I've ever seen, the Wild Goose plans do not contain any overall or chassis width measurement - so the guy who checked the plans needs to be shot!

As both the Kampmaster and Wild Goose have a transverse bed, that pretty much defines the width:
- 76" is the minimum bed length in a trailer nowadays and you might want 78";
- each sidewall will be between 1" and 2" thick;
so the total width has to be 78-82".
