Greetings, folks.
My name is Aaron and I have been travelling down the path to a lovely teardrop that my wife and I can call our own. This is going to be a project that should be completed by late spring of next year in time for my wife's family reunion in Colorado.
Ive been gathering info on all the sites I could find and finally tripped across this forum today. Hopefully we will start gathering construction materials this weekend and begin construction very soon. I have been sketching a design of my own using fairly basic elements from the classic design, but allowing for a queen sized matress and dog in the sleeping area. I'll post up the plans in the appropriate forum and post a link in this thread soon.
About me:
33, married (only 6 weeks!) wife is 34 and a full-time student. I work for a large telecommunications company that starts with a V and ends with an N. I can't tell you which one though.
I just purchased a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D turbodiesel. This will be our main tow rig. Our dog Lila is a 95-lb Rottweiler-Pinscher mix and will be accompanying us on our journey through the mountains.
Thanks for now and thanks for the future, I'm sure I'll gather a lot of valuable information from you.
