I've been lurking around the forum for the past few months, and have decided that I should start a build thread. I would like to thank Ryan for the plan of his Wyoming Woody, Dave with his Campernarty, and Scott for his videos of his teardrop build. These three builds really have provided the most inspiration for the design that I will attempt, and for the confidence that I can actually make this happen. Having said that, I really want to thank everyone who contributes to TnTTT for the wealth of knowledge you have provided to this community.
So what am I going to build, and what have I done so far? I have a semblance of a plan, and a 5x8 Northern Tools trailer. What I don't have is a lot of money, so I will be doing this as money and time make themselves available.
My concept is a Wyoming Woody profile with a trolley top. I will also be building a tongue box that will be integrated into the teardrop structure. I have drawn some sketches, which illustrate the basic profile and how some of the cabinets will be placed. I plan for a portion of the tongue box to be accessible from the outside, and for the rest to be accessed like a closet of sorts on the inside.
I really like the idea of using SIPs and am contemplating how to build my own adding in extra wood where necessary for the anchoring of walls, doors, etc.
For now the trailer is assembled, and road worthy. I will add more to this thread as I make further progress on the build. I'm afraid it's going to be a while before I do anything significant, but I have read several build journals that have lasted for years, so I am gaining courage.
Thanks,
Jere
