Desert Tear Drop Plans?

Postby Kelleyaynn » Thu Dec 31, 2009 11:24 am

Has anyone used the plans from Desertteardrops.com? Are they reputable? Are the plans any good?
Thanks!

Well, they are not the best plans you can get. Why don't you down load the plans here (Generic Benroy Plans). You don't have to follow them exact but members here on the board that have used them say they are pretty good.

I bought a set on Ebay when I first bought my Scad-A-Bout so that I would have some basic steps to help guide me, but I found them of little use, especially after the fact they promised to provide support but they never responded to emails or on their website, so I would not advise buying there product . Others may have good results with them, I can only speak for myself.
As Gage said free one are available on this website for the taking

I used Desert Teardrop plans on #1 and they were ok, but I think the free plans here and all of the help available here are a lot better. I did find a few miscalculations (dan't remember where) in the DT plans. I had abought DT plans because at the time they where the only ones I could find with a full size template. Also check out the design library. With a cad program and some experimentation I was able to resize the cub design to my desired dimensions for #2.
If I could shut my brain off, I could save myself alot of time, money and effort.

One more vote here for using the plans found right here on T&TTT.

When I first started on my tear, I thought I needed to purchase plans, I wound up using tons of ideas from this website and the plans I bought were of very little use.

If the plans you find here don't have the exact profile, galley layout, width, etc., etc., that's fine too! Half the fun is making your trailer a one of a kind by mixing and matching various designs and coming up with your own ideas.
