The built-in ice chest is a nice touch.

Here's a link to a previous discussion. You'd have to sit on the ground to use the sink it looks like.

For the price and the instant gratification.
This looks like a great way for some people to get into teardropping.

Very interesting! Obviously, a lot of thought and energy went into the design & construction (I've got over 25 years experience in fiberglass, so I know!) ... I just wish someone would put that effort into a bit more stylish design and get a little bit away from the "slab-sided" look ... :thinking: ...! There's just soooo much potential for an all composite teardrop ... I can only wish I had the time & $$ so that I could give you all my vision/version of one! Oh, well ... maybe some day ...

(Their price is pretty decent, I think ...)

Just noticed this on the website:

"TV and power outlets are all options", but there is no pricing info given for this option. The roof fan is solar powered, so no battery needed for it.

So, Grant, you might enjoy this new British fiberglass teardrop. The styling isn't my taste, but they've certainly made use of the material.

Hey, that's pretty cool, Andrew! A little too "Buck Rogers" for my tastes (and square windows ... :? ...?), but they're headed in the right direction. Can you pass along they're contact info or website? I'll put 'em in my Directory.

Grant, bear in mind that in Yurp we have ready-made double-glazed plastic windows with integral interior cassette screens and shades, so custom windows are less attractive.

I don't think the trailer is offered for sale yet - the only place I've seen it is this introduction thread on a British teardrop forum: http://tcgb.freeforums.org/a-big-hello- ... t1120.html (which is where I stole the photos from).
