Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Specs:

5' x 10' Cabin

14 1/2' from coupler to rear

Frame was custom built for trailer

Trailer weighs about 1100 lbs. dry

Tongue weight is about 100-110 lbs.

Has sealed beam marker lights and LED
tail/turn signal lights.

12v battery and Coleman propane stove are included mattress can be included for an additional $200

Tows great behind anything we've towed it with

Has 14" aluminum wheels, tires are real good and bearings were greased before our last trip.

Cabin is built with 1/4" birch ply inside and 1/4" oak ply outside with 3/4" framing and 3/4" foam insulation in the walls.

Roof has 1 1/2" insulation in it.

Floor is not insulated, your mattress takes care of that.

Cabinet face frames are pine for light weight, doors are pine frames with oak ply inserts.

Lots of cabinet space in the cabin and the galley!

We have had most everything in the trailer except the coolers and our coats when we traveled.

Has two double 12v swivel reading lights and one 12v ceiling light in the cabin. It also has a double 12v ceiling light mounted in the galley hatch.
This was all the electric we've ever had a need for. You could put 110v in it if you really needed it.

Cabin is built to hold a full queen size mattress.

Everything in the trailer is functional and there are no known leaks.

Tongue box will hold camp chairs and such, lots of room in it for extra stuff.

I'm a letting this go cheap because it is due to be refinished on the outside and it could use some exterior trim work of your liking. The fenders will need repainted because the Badlands took their toll on them this year.
The roof is sealed with fiberglass resin and painted with base clear automotive paint. The exterior walls need a light sanding and coating in the finish of your choice.
I don't have time this year to do the refinish and my storage garage is plugged up. I'd rather let it go for less $ than have it sit out all winter.

Trailer was built in 2005 and has approximately 20k problem free miles on it. It has preformed flawlessly every time it has been out.

I don't believe you will be disappointed with this trailer, it was very well built.

The trailer has never been titled (I'm in PA, 'nuff said) It can be titled here if you want to do the paperwork or title where you live, it's probably simpler.

Price is $4500 but I will entertain reasonable offers.

Rich, I hope that this is so you can start on #2… It was fun camping with you at IRG2 and I was looking forward to the next time.

And for anyone that is looking for a trailer, this is on that has past the test of a cross country drive with frying, ops flying colors.

Probably start the next one in the spring. Lost my winter storage this year.
We'll definitely have one before IRG 3.0 and hoping we can make it back out there to see all you folks again!!!

Rich, your trailer will make somebody a good teardrop. I hope you can sale it soon. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the next one

Thanks for the PM Rich...I was beginning to think you were getting out of tears! Think of it this way...this trailer has enough miles to almost have made it around the world...it's a proven trailer, been all over the country by Rich and his brother. A little TLC and you have a great little gem! Doug

As I'm new here, I'm looking at pretty much everything posted.

Was wondering, is it the light or are those walls in need of some work??

Also, I took a look at your build and thought it said something about 1,500 pounds... Looks like a lot of wood for an 1,100 pound trailer....

Thank you for any response.

Did you read the add?? Cool

Well, I guess I didn't read the 'add' (assume you meant 'ad') closely enough.

They need refinished.

Assume you mean 'They need refinishing' or 'They need to be refinished'. And I agree. From the pictures, they certainly do need refinishing.

Is the top layer of the plywood dried out and splintering yet because of losing the finish? Or does it just need a basic sanding and multi-poly application. Looks like the weather has been at it for a while.

You an English teacher?

I have no problem answering questions but I won't repeat myself.

The wood is fine it needs refinished.

Having seen Rich's trailer in person...the sides need to be freshened up with a sanding and top coat. Woody trailers take more maintenance than some of the other type builds, and there are a number of ways to top coat a woody trailer. Some provide more protection than others. It's a solid trailer and it's well proven. I'd think this is a better deal than someone that just put one together and decided to sell it before it was camped in. Just my opinion. doug

There's an idea Jack...lets! Doug

I have a stack of birthday cards (to give) along that line.

Very funny.
