    Mixing Foam and Plywood in Teardrop Foamie Builds: Galley Design Challenges

    I am considering building a foamie in a classic teardrop shape but considering building the galley section with plywood. My logic is that the galley doesn't need insulation and plywood makes it easier to install cabinets etcetera, including the hurricane hinge for the hatch. I am intending to...

    Teardrop Side Marker Light Lens Replacement

    We discovered one of our amber side marker light lens broken, totally in the dark on how it happened. Has anyone else had this happen? Assume the fix would be an entire unit? Also, how do you remove it to replace? Got an email off to Dan at LED4RV, who we've had great service from in the past.

    Change is in the air…

    After my hunting trip to Leslie Gulch, I came away pretty disappointed. A little bit with the fellow campers, but mostly at myself for my inability to be organized and comfortable with the dogs and myself in the popup. The short story is I am selling my ATC Cougar, and have ordered a high...

    A Teardrop Wreck! Ouch.

    I built a teardrop for my sister and her husband eleven years ago. This summer, while they were towing, it was rear-ended. The collision bent the tongue and axle and damaged the hatch.
