Jeez, what a depressing ad. Waaay too much information. :cry:
Scott G.

My father and I were watching a special on teardrop trailers when we decided to have some father & daughter bonding time by building one ourselves. We were about 80% of the way finished when my father married some woman that he hardly knew that hated my sister and me. The project can to a grinding halt as my father tried to cater to my stepmother’s every crazy whim and hourly mood swing. I have finally come to terms with the fact that this will never be finished and I need to get rid of it.


You get all the materials that I have that go with this trailer (or as I call it- constant reminder that my father has shut me out of his life). Free bottle of whiskey with purchase. haha

For 2 grand it looks like somebody will get a helluva deal if it was done reasonably well.

Just fyi ... that's in Moore, OK which is the 'burb just south of Oklahoma City . If I had $2000 with nothing to do with it, I'd grab it !

She doesn't give any details about battery, width, wall construction etc.
Looks like just one door but comes with the new camp stove and other materials and whiskey!

If I had the time I would hurry down there and scoop that one up but alas, I don't. I can however, empathize with her in that I had an evil stepmother as well.....

Sounds like that little teardrop comes with baggage. :lol: Could probably use a happy home.

I'll bet her pa will come back some day...penniless and in need of a project.

It would be perfect for a single person, a hunter, or someone who is hiding from the government.

I agree. If I were her, I'd keep the teardrop and finish it myself. It doesn't look like there is that much left to do on it. She shouldn't let the latest happenings sully her good memories. My guess is he'll be back when the new spouse has used up all his money and ruined him emotionally. Eventually, blood is thicker than a 'come hither' look and his daughters will always tug on his heart strings.

I would ask if it has 2 doors or 1. It appears to have only one, and maybe that won't be an issue for you. It would be one for me. Ask how difficult it would be to add a door if this is a problem for you.

I probably would ask how it has been stored since the building process stopped, too.

Kate is here providing solutions to the family problems instead of worrying about the teardrop :roll:

I think she should keep the trailer, and finish it for herself. Don't give it away.
