Welcome, Okie Teardrop. I assume you are in Oklahoma. There was a teardrop gathering at Beavers Bend in OK just a couple of weeks ago.

Nice Looking Trailer!
It always starts out as just "Take it camping" and then the madness begins!
I can add this here and change this a little here and before you know what's happening your family forgets what you even look like!
Good luck and have fun!
( I was wondering about the hatch/door also)

Welcome to the group! You've just bought the pre-packaged madness rather than the "do-it-yourself" insanity. Hope you and the better half have a great time in your tear!

thanks for the warm welcome. yes we are from okla midwest city to be exact. as far as the lift up hatch on the side your guess is as good as mine maybe it was built that way for easier entry for someone wheelchair bound or possibly had a tent attatchment? again thanks for the welcome

MIDWEST CITY !!!!!! I AM HERE TOO !!!!
Julie here, I live in Mwc , kinda close to Heritage park mall. where are you? pm me or email me.
I thought " how cool! another oklahoma teardropper ."... then I grinned when I saw midwest city !!! I am working more on mine tomorrow, cutting out the doors and putting the lineoleum on the floor. Hopefully get the walls up too.
Your trailer looks like a gem ... just needs a little tlc and sparkle and she'll be a beauty!
