To get in a teardrop. You sit in the door, lean back,swing your legs in, and lie down.
You make the bed by standing outside the door.
A teardrop is better then a short stand-up on the knees.
A simple low cost 4 foot wide teardrop would have 1/2 plywood floor with 1/2 plywood walls with furring strips(1x2,s) between the walls. then lie and glue luan plywood on top of the walls held in place with ratch straps until the glue drys and you get screws in. The curved roof is a lot easier then it looks. That would be the starting box that you would cut the doors in. and the hatch off the back. Plus a lot more details to finish the doors and hatch.
I am talking very basic teardrop. Not build to last a long time but I would guess the lowest cost you could build.
With your skills I would still say look on cragslist first for a low cost enclosed trailer or a teardrop.
Where may you be. Someone on the group may give you a hand. I would have fun building a very simple teardrop.
