I just brought my trailer home for my first build, my second and third are drawn in autoCAD, at 1:30 this morning I was laying in bed thinking how to make a fourth one. I tried to sneak out of bed to draw it up "real quick", but my wife woke up and said no. Why is it the best ideas come in the middle of the night?

2. You take naps during lunch because you were up all night thinking of how your first build will be.

3. Your dreams consist of building teardrop trailers.

66. You give up other addictions for teardrop addiction. If you quit smoking can add $120 a month to the build budget. You also consider giving up other food concessions, ie. soda and beer could add another $75-100.

67. Addictions to trailers means you got to have the special license plate that either matches the year for vintage trailers, or a vanity plate that matches your personality, or nickname you picked.

If the number of list items that are starting to describe me are half or more of the list, do I need special protective gear...

OK! True Confession. When you are sketching profiles of teardrops on the back of the church bulletin while you are still in church!

Dean,
Don't bother me right now. I am tracking a few to the very last minute. I already have the number of plates, and the colors I want. Now I am trying to bid on a few more just to have some to choose from when I get it. :lol:

Getting the correct colors, or stickers doesn't seem to be a problem. Try finding a "trailer" correct plate. Especially, if you are not entirely sure that the plates purchased will be accepted at the DMV. So I bought all of them. :lol:

What is the correct answer?
1956-62 yellow plates
a. ABC DEF
b. 123 456
c. AB 1234
d. 1AB 1234
e. A 12 1234

I believe I know the answer, but not 100% sure. Or, unsure what will be accepted by the person at the DMV.

If I based it on my past experiences with CA DMV... I'd have to say, "f. None of the above." :R

You know... You could always daisy chain them together and have a way cool vintage wind screen for dutch oven cooking. :thinking:

If what you say is true, I just bought one pricey wind screen. :lol: :lol: To make the question more complex, how do I keep the PTI designation, and still use the YOM plate. I believe there is a PTI sticker that can be issued, that is what someone told me. If I end up making a vintage wind screen for the dutch ovens, all of them will be matching yellow plates, with black letters.

Hmmm...

I wonder if the powerful attraction to these small, egglike trailers has anything to do with an unconscious wish to return to the womb (or in the case of those who hatched, the egg). Just a thought. :thinking:
