Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Does anyone have profile drawing of a Scotty teardrop?

Clancy-

Just a thought:

If you can wait and if you come to the N/S gathering in VA Aug. 3-6th I'm sure you could talk TearJerkers founder Todd B. into taking a tracing off of his
Scotty TD (assuming he's bringing that one, he has 2 or 3 TD's)...

Or better yet; get in touch with Todd and see if you could twist his arm somehow to get it?!

Here is his email:

Todd's the only person I know of who owns one, obviously there are others...

BTW I know nothing about this suggestion if Todd asks, LOL!

Cheers,

Coop

Clancy, your post on teardrop profile caught my eye so I want to monitor this thread to see if anything is said about the trdaitional
full-round front end vs. the rounded, morphing into a vertical front end, forming a 90 degree angle with the bottom of the trailer.
Since I'm wanting to build a teardrop at last, I'm wondering --what are the issues in terms of the profile? Personal preference? Wind resistance?
This is only my second post since joining the forum, so if I need to go to a different discussion, or if you can refer me to another one, I'd appreciate it. And thanks!

Oops, I guess this is kind of a dried-up string isn't it. Almost a year old. Can ya help me somebody? Thanks.

some of us follow all these threads LOL .

Hi Wells c, Which profile you use is really a personal preference thingy. I like the Benroy shape so that's what I use. There really is no engineering or aerodynamic
advantage between most of the profiles.

Make your mind up on profile then get it done

Oh yeah, we all love pics......................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Nice choice. I kinda partial to that one myself.

wells c,
Didn't mean to ignore your question, I don't read everything as often as I once did. I was just looking for info on the Scotty Teardrop. I like the shape and the hatch would be easier to construct (I think). I have Kuffelcreek cubby I built about 4 years ago and haven't gotten motivated to start a new one, but this design has merit, at least to me. As already stated there's probably not to much difference in the various profiles just personal preference. Andrew drew a profile of it. Check his site. I don't know if he posted it.
Good luck,
Clancy
