*Portside bunk shown (& starboard) fold up to allow bedroom to become dining room in foul weather. *Additional bracing at top of wheel well is for tire failure (blowout) protection. *Shelving above bunk is visible.



*Sink at portside front quarter with two drain holes allows for trailer tilt. *Spigot flows hot or cold water. *Valves and towel rack are below sink.



*8 inch drop-down shower floor to allow headroom at roof curvature at front. *Floor drains at all four corners to allow for trailer tilt. *Two thick nesses of lattice type plastic on floor in case floor is still wet for use other than shower. *Shower head can be hand held and (with flow control) if desired.



*Curtain enclosed pot is at starboard side front quarter facing shower.



*Auxiliary outside sink is from old oven porcelainised drip pan; two drain holes. *Drip rail around countertop has drains either side to allow for trailer tilt. *Tongue jack is homemade and tool-less removable. *Dark object to right of lower right hand corner of shutter is permanent hanging plumb bob to view while levelling trailer. Dish-rack, utensil rack and soap dish are not shown.

Did not detail my roof mounted whirly bird or water supply. The whirly bird opening also serves as a skylight; flush sealed for travel or storage.

What is John's email address?

Andrew,
Thanks for getting all the info from John. PM his e-mail address and I would be happy to e-mail directly if he is ok with that. I think this interest is generated by the vintage look of his trailer. If you love teardrops, you probably love vintage campers. We need to talk John into coming to Minden.

Thanks again,
Scott F.

Now, now, gentlemen. Passing on other peoples' email addresses is only slightly more acceptable than giving a young lady's telephone number to a lounge lizard with two-tone dancing pumps......

I was thinking your messages might provide some encouragement to John to join the forum, as I'm fairly sure he has been looking at this thread.

giving a young lady's telephone number

*pulls out notepad*

Go ahead.

[s4son]

You are absolutly right (do you have any phone numbers for young ladies?).

John,
We would love to have you join in the insanity here. I think this is the nicest bunch of folks on the internet. You have already paid your dues (pictures, pictures, pictures) so it won't cost ya a thing. Just be ready for a lot more questions.

would love to see that in person. After looking at that I either had an anerism or it inspired a vision of a really cool teardrop. It would have a front like that, with a v'd top tapering into a boattail tye rear. Galley access would be by alligator type doors, similar to hoods on the thirtys cars. Will try to put it on paper.

I thought I already thanked you for that number.

I live in Long Beach, and John Cronin lives not to far from me in a neighboring city (forget which). I have spoken to him on the phone, and he had invited me to come over and have a look at it first hand. Unfortunately I never made the visit. The invitation was a few projects back, and I was at the time very interested in doing something similar.

Of course you know how the wandering mind can be, we all think we want to build 6 different styles of trailers right. Anyway... Like Angib stated, I did invite him to this forum. John enjoys surfing in the morning, and bluegrass music.

It works! The dropped floor that is!
