from the "Homebuilt Gathering" thread:This gathering will be focusing on home built tiny trailers. The idea for this gathering is to see as many styles and ideas for small camping trailers. I have been to a few Teardrop trailer gatherings and although all the original TD had a special place in time. Home built trailers whether built like the original "Teardrop" shape to a modified TD style or a completely original shape/design have always caught my eye. Mostly because when someone takes pride in their build, they seem to be more likely to use their trailer.

- irgod32's "Home Built Designs and Original TD Gathering Sept 21-24 2017" planned event may be/have been a better choice for a lot of TnTTT 'ers, with an open to all format. From what I read, "teardrops only" are welcomed at Lake Perris. From the viewpoint of a builder of a "squareback" or "simple" (as shown on the design pages), that's a bit elitist for my taste; not consistent with the spirit embodied by this forum, which has been quite agreeable to trailers of multiple types (or one-offs, that are unique to themselves).

Home built trailers whether built like the original "Teardrop" shape to a modified TD style or a completely original shape/design have always caught my eye. Mostly because when someone takes pride in their build, they seem to be more likely to use their trailer.- I've been welcomed to the South Central group, which is very informal as to trailer or people types- just camping-minded folks need apply. Most were introduced to it through this forum. I felt drawn to them from the first camp I shared with them, unlike a previous group I had been a member of.
- The previous group I refer to is not camping or trailer-related, but a car club. My car (and others)were of the same marque, vintages, and general aspects, but not of the same pedigree (numbers matching), nor quality (works in progress, imperfect paint, etc.). I often felt out-of-place among them, and eventually I organized the downfall of that club (never belittle any man's pride-and-joy).
- I may be wrong about the Lake Perris group, or similar "teardrops only" gatherings, but as long as mikeschn welcomes all types of like-minded people to his forum, then I'll not try to attend any elitist gatherings. P.S. perhaps only "vintage" trailers (survivors from the 30-40-50's "golden age") should have their own special place of honor...but none should be turned away for being different.
