28' Tear Drop Trailer - Sort of
Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 1:08 pmI am brand new to this forum so I thought I would start of by saying hello all. I am a 30 year old software engineer with a passion for building. I have been building projects from a major 2 story house addioton to baby furniature. When I got married, we loved camping and I have always loved tear drop trailers, and I actually bought a pop-up trailer to convert to a tear.
The problem is that my family kept growing and the plans cept getting larger and larger. Mom, no longer liked the idea of cooking outside, where would the kids sleep and so on.... So..... I thought if I was going to all the work of building a small trailer, why not make a big trailer? That was in March of this year, I am now waist deep in my trailer build and It no longer resebles a teardrop, other than the front design. If you look close at the profile turned vertical, can you see my original shape???? I turned the tear on its side and went to the big time rig of a 28' fiver. Take a look at all the build photo's and the floorplan at my website

I'll have to admit that's a pretty darned ambitious undertaking, but it's obvious you have the skills, tools, and working knowledge to do it.
