Hi all,
I picked up a new tow rig and I'm able to camp in it, plus needs change as life changes. We'll build another in the future, but for now I need to sell the teardrop.
Please PM me with any questions, picture requests, or to schedule a time to see the trailer.
Details in the build thread here: http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=49566
