Generic Benroy Hall of Fame...

General Discussion about almost anything Teardrop or camping related

I really don't know whose plans I used since I stole so many ideas from so many builders. But I do know I referred to your generic Benroy plans many, many times.

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

It's not the best pic but it was built using your plans, Mike.

Cheers

Here's Mine. Virtually exactly from the Generic Plans with some adaptations for hinges, electronics, lights -- you know, minor stuff.

I also used the plans. Changed things here there and everywhere but they really helped. Pics in my album. Ken

I've done more trim to it, but will be a while before I can get a new picture.

Mine were not exactly "generic" benroys, they were benroys which I learned from, which evantually became the generic benroy. But that said, here are the two benroyish trailers I built...

I haven't posted progress for a while, but nearing completion on the Northwoods. I'll have to find my camera and post some pictures soon. I have the tear enclose and the hurricane hinge is installed. More parts on the way from Grant and I will be applying the finish this week end. I follow the Generic Plans pretty close and couldn't have accomplished the build without the plans.

Here is a galley picture, more to come.

Mike, I've gotten a good start on a benroy build. I have the trailer ready to support my tear. My door is 90% complete, used windows and vent cleaned and ready to install. My son is coming in from San Diego for a few days and I'm sure that will slow my progress but there will be sawdust should flying early next week. My pictures are in my album with my progress to date.

Thanks, Larry J.
