Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Ok, after almost a year of posting with no tear, and shopping for the perfect starting point, I think I'm finally ready to start my build!

I "over bought" as far as the length, but too much is better than not enough.


I've got plenty of "chopping room"



I should be able to move the axles after the chop, kind of want to keep the tandems for a different look. Thoughts any one?




What do you guys think I should do about these brakes, and I wonder how hard it will be to replace these wheels?



Well, there it is. My stimulus check actually stayed in America for my part cause $300 of it went to this guy for the trailer, some more went to the Bass Pro Shop in Oklahoma City, a fair chuck went to Joe's Crab Shack, and some more will go to McCoy's Lumber Yard today after work.


Oh, here's what I got at Bass Pro's, not much, but it's cool.

Johnny,

Hope you got something big to pull that thing!!

What length will it be when you are done cutting?? Do you have a sketch of the camper you are putting on it??

I'm picturing a pimped out teardrop limo.

Johnnie, looks like you have enough iron, axles and springs for a couple of teardrops.

Don't know yet...I'm not much of a "plans" guy. I see something in my head and cut, hammer, and glue until it gets there. But....with this being as big as it is, I think I'll swipe some cardboard from work, and at least try to make a template.


The Durango pulled it just fine...so far.

I was thinking something like this before, but I may rethink things a little

Looking at that drawing, are you planning on making it removeable??

That was the plan, but not now.

Hey Lisa.

With a hot tub on front.

Will I still be welcome at gatherings, being that big?

If you put a hot tub up front, I think you'll be welcome anywhere.

Are you planning to camp in South Park?? Watch out there are some weird kids there.
