New guy in southern WV
Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 9:18 am
I know this thread's two years old but I'm curious about teardrop builders in my area. I'm in Man, WV (Logan County) and just came home from Harbor Freight with a frame for my new teardrop project. Been thinking about it for a couple of years, and since spending a week with the wife and kids sleeping on the ground at Canaan Valley, am getting really serious. We love to run around the 219 / 220 corridor from White Sulpher Springs up to Canaan and Blackwater Falls. Hoping the ttt will make sleeping a little nicer for the wife and I, as well as cutting down the prep time for camping by at least a couple of days!
How many of you built your td's without ever seeing one? That's where I am right now. Only one I ever laid eyes on is the one at Gander Mtn. and couldn't get anyone to show us the inside of it. Our big debate at this point is whether to go 4' or 5' wide (we are not small people). The plans I have use a solid ply floor laid right on the trailer frame. If I go 5' then I have to frame up a complete floor, adding a lot of weight. So I'm tempted to just stick with the 4'. Any thoughts?
