Did you make any modifications to your 5x8 frame to make additional room for the tounge box? I like the way you used the box to hide the AC unit. My NT trailer will be here tommorow. Hiding the AC was one of my last design challenges. Your solution is perfect.

jered,
I didn't make any modifications to the NT trailer. I built the tongue box just big enough to ensure that the AC could ventilate sufficiently. The louvers have worked well. I built a small platform that was attached to the trailer tongue and the box itself is hinged at the top and closes down on the platform. You just need to be careful when backing the trailer to watch for hitting the tongue box with the bumper of the tow vehicle. One of the nice things about teardrops is that they are usually light enough to move by hand if the need arises.
On a wooden teardrop, seeing an air conditioner sticking out of the end or side just didn't seem right. I'm glad you liked the setup. :thumbsup:

Amazing build, and a beautiful trailer.

What are the interior dimensions, not including the tongue box?

Thanks REIGNSS. The interior bed area is 58x80 inches. I bought a queen size memory foam mattress and cut 2 inches off the width to fit inside. There is also storage cabinets that are 16 inches deep located at the foot of the bed for a total inside length of 96 inches. The height is 60 inches.
Thanks again for the comments.

We just returned from 6 days at Bailey's Point Campground attending the Fall gathering of the Bluegrass Chapter Tearjerkers. We had a great time along with meeting fellow tearjerkers from Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Here are a couple of pics of my setup.

Beautiful build. I'm still researching my build and am still debating over teardrop or benroy shape

Thanks clamlamp. I like the Benroy / rimple shape. I think it gives you a little more room in the interior.
