Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I needed a light weight camper that could hold a couple yaks and or bikes. this is what i came up with........









Specs:

2012 Tractor supply 4'x6' trailer
Tepui Kukenam RTT
ARB 6'x8' Awning (attaches to trailer via some 5' removable pipe)
etrailer pop up jacks on rear, weld on in the front
etrailer 2 bike rack
Autocraft deep cycle battery
Lifetime folding table 6'
50qt YETI cooler
Weber Q100
full size spare mounted under trailer
blue blower fan (greatest thing ever for the beach)

Coming soon:

flood led light for the cooking area
cup holders welded to the trailer rails at the rear
13" tv/dvd combo
12v outlet inside tent
insulation on the floor of the RTT to prevent condensation

Maybe:

led strip inside RTT
shower

Me and my wife go camping alot so the trailer will evolve. oh and we are geting 35mpg even in the mountains

Cool set up man
I am in the process of converting a cargo trailer that I traded a teardrop for.
My wife and I like to be pretty comfortable and set up a big kitchen when we camp

Nice setup! Where do you put the yaks when you haul them too?

You might also post in the Off Road section with a link to your post here. Even if you don't plan on 4 wheeling it, many there might benefit from your design ideas.

Thanks! they sit side by side on the right side of the trailer and the bike rack rotates so that the bikes are on the left side. i have a pic somewhere i will post up later

Added afew led lights, some SS cup holders, and a 13" LED tv/dvd ......

i added 300 stick on LEDs as well as a lanscape type flood light that is mounted up high on the canopy poll. they are contrroled via a wireless remote.



im going to hang the TV from the metal tent supports (going camping this weekend so i will add some pics of this)

TV mount worked perfectly this weekend



went up to WV to see some SNOW on saturday





weather was cold but we had a great site lakeside at Douthat SP

TOYoverlander,

Your pictures are from Douthat SP, VA and somewhere near Snowshoe, WV are they not?
I was near both of them from last Wed. to last Friday.
We rode the Cass RR to Bald Mtn and was in 6 inches of snow at 4830 feet. The snow line was at about 4100 feet.
Here are a few pictures from there.





If I am right, we should meet up sometime and compare our projects. I am near Roanoke.

What you are doing and the sights you are visiting are exactly what I plan on doing.

Please tell me more about your "300 stick on LED's. I am trying to find a reasonably priced 12v string light for my hunt camp in a week or so.

Really nice pictures

PKCSPT,
Thank for me for the ones I submitted and TOYoverlander's was nice also.
I like your Beetle pic. I always had a fondness for the Beetles and what they can do....guess that is because I had three of the original ones (63, 66, 68) myself in the good ole days.
Bob

My first car was a 68 and my mom drove a 72 Super Beetle. Fun little toys that smile at you. People laugh at me, I always back in to a spot at work and I tell them when I walk to my car I see a smile so how bad a day or night in my case could it have been? Then they see it too. Yeah its the little things in life.

i ordered them off Amazon but they shipped straight from china (i hate to order from china and do it little as possible but its tuff on stuff like this). the controller is a wireless type and was very easy to wire! used them this weekend and the setup worked well. if you want more of a flood light then i recomened some landscape lights.

Great,
We like the WV area so much that we will go back in the June time frame to see the Rhododendrons in bloom. I hope I have my CT done by then. Also the Cranberry Bog hiking area right around the corner from there looks to be a great hike. We just started in it but gave up b/c of the slippery snow. There is also the Hill Creek 3 Falls site right nearby.

Give me a shout when you are near us, go the Blue Ridge or wherever and lets meet for lunch for something and do that note comparing thing.
Actually I am at Smith Mountain Lake, another nice area to camp and enjoy the water. We have a nice State Park here. I f you do it in the right weather, I can give you a boat tour of the lake. And I will send you a PM when I head in your direction.
