Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Just have to wire up some lights. I was waiting until the end to do this cuz I was hoping to find something a little more "cabincar-ish" than the Harbor Frieght dealies. I have some interior stuff to do still. Gotta build the wall between the sleeping area and galley and have to put in a water tank. Almost there

Here ya go,

About as close as you can get without buying originals.

SWEEEET...don't bid against me!

No worries,

I bought originals...well, original to something...

Got them at a swap meet cause I liked the look, and cause a fellow a couple rows over had several more really cheap (extra glass lenses).

So far I only have the most basic of interiors done. The kiddies like it though. Used an old futon mattress and a couple leather pillows from our couch! Quite comfy!

I made a large screen facing out to the galley. For a bit of ventilation when the galley is propped open, and put a simple shelf in place. To hold some things.

I am going to make up a bumper, probably, more like bumprettes! This weekend. Going to use two 2' long oak boards on each side of the galley and hook up the taillights and plate too and we might just be ready for a test run this weekend. Keep ya posted!

Those boys sure look happy!

I think they're ready to go camping

I found this site today and read all 10 pages of your cabin car build and then it just seemed to end in January of 2006 with page 10. Just curious what became of the build?

I am new to this site and am very interested in this 'Cabin Car' Form. I have just finished reading all 10 pages and also enjoyed looking at Rob's photo's and was wondering why the post stoped.

I just tried email Green Hornet... but to no avail. He's disappeared!

I see there is an original Cabin Car listed now on ebay:

Oh sweet spars and varnish that is an excellent adaptation! I think that is precisely what I want to build! Did you make up any scaled plans? I think I could replicate your efforts! I am heading to Harbor Freight in the next day or two for the HD Trailer! If you have the time and inclination I would love more pictures. Your efforts show a classic craftsman lives inside!
