General Discussion about almost anything Teardrop or camping related

I think it's more apt to become the 'towed vehicle' than it is the 'tow vehicle' ;) - It certaily won't pull much . . . . will it?

Home made electric cars have fascinated me for years - If I had more time, I would do a conversion on a Fiord Fiesta. Seems a simpler way to go that building the entire thing from scratch . . . . probably better in the event of an accident or a rollover too

There's a place with plans for 3-wheel cars, rqriley.com, that's been advocating building a car using a motorcycle motor for years now... I remember looking really hard at the idea in the early 1980s, as having a CB400T as my sole transportation was kinda impractical with an infant.
My dad made me sell the bike, so I bought a '73 duster with the money.
Mopar's what my busted knuckles bleed, working on my 318s...

I was wondering what the next goofy project would be. Wouldn't that be a scream to putt around town with? :thinking: :thinking:

Interesting design. Could be adapted to a teardrop, loose the wheel wells and soften the sharp angle at the top rear and have suicide doors. Yea I can visualize that.
