Greetings! I'm going to get one thing out of the way before I say anything else. I am not, by nature, a "glamper" or whatever term you may attach to it. I love ultralight backpacking and sleeping in my Hennessy Hammock.
So, why am I here? My fiancee has rheumatoid arthritis. She wants to experience the outdoors with me, but she can't sleep on the ground or in a hammock. She's also got a much lower threshold for home comforts than I do. So, I'm biting the bullet and have begun the research phase of building a teardrop. I was initially discouraged from taking the teardrop route, when I found out how much a they retail for. After a little thought, I decided, "I bet I could build one of these for way cheaper."
Turns out, most of the internet had that idea long before I did. I started my journey here. I read it over, and decided this was a viable project I could undertake. A link from that blog brought me to this forum. I'm here because I have MANY questions and concerns to address before I start. I will try to search older posts before I start new threads with all of my questions.
