I don't know that name, but Shane is from down that way so he may know him. I will check! I mentioned to him this morning on the way to work and he said coming to see a build is definately a good idea as he has lots of questions. Thanks John!

I am attempting to figure out how to post images. So here is one of my last camping trip. You can clearly see why we need a teardrop!

Hey Lisa & Shane,
Under the heading above, Forum Problems, they have a help posting photos section. And for all things teardrop, you should read SDTrippers2indes in the Design Resources section, also above. From simple building to advance design teardrop info.
Talk to you guys after the New Years, have a safe one.

Thanks again John, I had not even seen that very helpful link at the top of the page!

Has it really been four years? Wow. Well... due to a divorce I ended up compromising by not doing an entire build but purchased a "bare bones" teardrop and am finishing the cabinets (no galley) and wiring myself. I am going to start a build journal even though I am just completing one and not building it entirely. I will post pictures there!

Lisa,
Where did you get that TD from. I have a FB friend in Ohio that is building "Cargo Campers". His name is George McMillon (?) It looks kinda like his type trailers.

Rustic Trails Teardrops in Mt. Airy NC. Jonathan is the owners name. Really nice guy. You can google them and find it, they also have a Facebook page. I looked around quite a bit before making a decision. I still have to do cabinetry, add the front rack and finish electrical. I am trying to learn as much as possible about solar. I would like to implement solar if possible. It is a well built little camper.

So sorry about the divorce Lisa. Maybe teardroppin' is just the therapy needed! It's hard to worry too much when setting by a campfire, enjoying the soft sounds of nature.

That's a sharp looking camper. Good luck on the build!

[justlisawv]

Thanks! And yes I agree. Camping is great for the soul. I am just trying to decide if it is ok to make a build journal for a teardrop you are only completing!

is it ok to make a build journal for a teardrop you are only completing!

Yep, That's what I did with The Big Pink
