Hi all, 7 trips so far in the new teardrop, going on number 8 this weekend! We're now familiar with it enough that the changes are being discussed...
I found a possible 5x10 trailer and I'm thinking about transplanting my teardrop onto it off the HF trailer, cutting open the front and adding a sideways bunk over a new custom battery/storage box. (eliminates the toolbox that doesn't match!) Then building additional storage underneath similar to the crosswing, which is the build thread that got us hooked. I'm a horrible packer when it comes to camping (acceptance has set in), and I still end up with stuff in the truck so the extra storage would be nice.
The bunk would only be 2 deep x 2.5 tall x 5 wide, but would get my little one his own space and would fit him for a few years.
The other option is to install a slide out bunk under the interior cabinets in my existing set up.
The third option is to try and squeeze another year out and start from scratch, probably building something like the campster 12.
Any feedback on the decision? - I haven't researched adding a poll on here.
Option 1: cut, extend and add bunk to front and storage underneath all on a new trailer base
Option 2: add a slide out bunk and get a couple more years
Option 3: start from scratch on a new build
