Frank,
We had the most fun on our first trip out! Our teardrop towed like a dream. No bouncing, axle-wheels worked like a charm. We hardly knew it was there, but boy did everyone else! At almost every stop along the way, people would ask us all about it and remark on what a neat little trailer.
The only surprise was that our magnet latches on the cupboards inside weren't strong enough to hold them shut. We will secure our cupboards a little better next time, along with the small wall hangings I had on the inside walls. No harm done though.
You mentioned an air-conditioner. Let me tell you, it was hot during the day. Our site was in direct sunlight almost all day long. It was a great treat to be invited to "cool off" in Mike's trailer.

(Mike... you didn't think you were going to get away with not posting a photo of you on the trip, did you?)
The nights though were nice and cool in our insulated teardrop, with just a coleman tent fan blowing on us.
I also like the idea of a "carry along" air conditioner, should we ever decide to go with one.
Another neat idea was how Kurt set up his screen/privacy tent. We also have this same pop-up screen tent. Kurt cut one side to match the door on his tear and velcroed shower curtains up on the remaining sides to create a very nice privacy room off one side of the tear.

Very cool!
We had a great time and hope more teardroppers can go next year!

That I'm not still up in Mich where I'd been having all that fun with you guys and gals!!! Looks like the weekend went off with a big bang of fun. Looking forward to next year, maybe we can all meet and go to the Nats together.
