Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

It looks good! The silver roof blends well with your tow vehicle.
Glad you had a good trip. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Excellent... Congratulations. Ya done good!!!

Hello Tac,

Well, I finished reading about your build (and Mike's beginning of it). What a wonderful hand you had with skinning it. It is beautiful. So I have taken copious notes about your ideas and hope to apply one or two along the way. Very nice!

I just have to wonder what Big Mike’s thinking now about Foamies ...
Tac, Super Job Dude !!!!

Super, Great, Outstanding, What a wonderful camping trip. I am so glad you had a great time. The weight looks good too. I 'll bet your thinking about some type oven to cook your own fish. I am impressed with your Big Pink!!!

Thanks for all the compliments !!

I figured out a few things.

Like how the "Big Pink" got it's name ... (in 2011)

Thanks GPW !



and that the "Big Pink" is actually a "Fidget"
a Foamie Widget

Actually in direct comparison , they are slightly Different !!! .... and there are the wings too ... they’re so Cute eh !!!

Mike gave up the Big pink because of his wife ... Not sure about the wiseness of that decision ... All the better for you eh Tac ? I (JMHO ) think it turned out SUPER !!!

“ Mike gave up the Big Pink because of his wife “ .... I’d better not comment on that again because I had to give up TWO trailer builds because of the wife ... Third time’s the charm .... TG !!!

Good job on dat Pink! I'm surprised it turned out so heavy, but then it is a big trailer, and you've got lots of goodies in it.

I like foam, but I would probably do a hybrid foamie if I ever did another one.

I imagine the shape must be very close to a widget. Both the widget and the Big Pink get inspiration from the Cub/Modernistic.

Of course it's wise. If your wife doesn't support you, then it's no fun!

I think TAC did an excellent job finishing the Big Pink. It couldn't have gone to a better person!

Mike...

Yes , Very Wise !!! Being with the same woman for 40 years now , there have been more than a few times , I’ve had to compromise ...

I wanted Teardrop , she wanted FoamStream ... guess who won .... again !!!

I think Fidget is so cute!! maybe you can sell her with that name!!! Tac, I think it is a great job done well! I think the wings give it a distinguishing look!

But your Foamstream is a fantastic success!

Mike...

Mike , only because “she" likes it eh ... And although I thought we’d come up with something original , turns out it looks just like every Horse trailer up and down my street ...
Personally I think the Teardrop shape has a lot of “character” to it ... More so than Horse trailers...

Tac , I think you’re underestimating the weight of all the cra... er, “stuff" you’re bringing along ... Best weigh the Big Pink without all that stuff in it to get it’s true weight ... Still it’s an impressive sized camper for that little weight (even loaded) ...

Splendid finish, Tac; it's satisfying to see this "historic" project completed.

Foamy Widget = Fidget!
I like it!
