I love typos!
New custom built , never used 4" x 8' teardrop trailer 420 pounds, built on harbor freight trailer kit , sleeps 2 adults & 2 small kids .
Typo's aside I'd like to see a family of four fit comfortably in a 4 foot wide trailer. Even with no galley that has got to be tight.

Seems like a nice barebones if it goes cheap, especially.
That profile almost looks familiar. Whadda think, MJ??

Currently $777. And he claims $600 worth of doors.
Like Kerry said, not a bad entry level tear if it stays cheap.
BTW, I'm still trying to look at those tears up here in Portland. I'll post (or buy) if I think they're worth anything.
Now where could I hide another tear from my wife.

It looks like it's no typo, although tight, it will fit 2 adults and 2 kids. The kids sleep on the shelf above the "regular" bed. The fact that there is no galley makes this possible.
I looked at the answers to his questions and I'd dispute his claim that having no galley makes the trailer body stronger. The way he built it, there are no vertical bulkheads. These bulkheads act as full length gussets which make the body resistant to racking.
Other than the tiny tires, and no galley, it's not bad.

hmmm...is it just me, or does it seem, from the pictures, as if there's a little dip in the roof, just about where the hatch hinge should have been? Maybe it's a spot in the roof where he could have used one more interior rib in the roof?
It does look like a nice trailer, but even without a galley, it would have been nice if it had a back hatch...easier to put in cargo (or short kids...)

I want to see the specs on that fine looking notebook that comes with the trailer (tv is worthless).
Might buy the trailer, just for the notebook. Anybody recognize the brand?
Its certainly a compromise... bring the 2 kids, or loss space for the tv and notebook.

They state the roof is made of high density hollow core poly material 5/16 thick. Anyone know what that is? Is it UV resistant?

I've seen this guy list the exact pics/auction a few times over the past year or two. You could probably search completed auctions for what has sold in the past.

Thats interesting. They have no feedback scores and it states they have been an Ebay member for less than 30 days. They must have more than one Ebay account.
