Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I made a Lil shelf for those airplane/van type reading lights and cell phones. The reading lights will go in the angled corners and cells etc all along the shelf. I also need to put in a couple of cig adapters somewhere on the shelf.

Can't tell anything by that picture, but judging by the other shots of your TD that you;ve posted, I'm sure it's fantastic!

Nice job. That is what it is all about, finding little place to hold little things. This is what I added this summer on both sides.

Ok, this is now the second idea that I'm stealing from you. Keep 'em coming.

Heh, you are welcome to anything any of my ideas. Then I can see how you improve upon things and steal it back. By the way, any new pics on your new project? Your trailer makes me want to make a TTT once I finish my td.

Nice. The more places to put things the better. I tried to zoom out on your picture to get a better idea on where you placed them but with no luck LOL. I'll take a look at your album.

These little trailers are addictive. No new pics - it's sitting in the garage begging for attention. I ordered my epoxy/fiberglass/fillers today, and I sent in a quote request to Grant at Lil Bear for 3 windows. I'm going to visit a friend this weekend in Austin so no work on the camper this weekend. I shouldn't have any problems being ready before Thanksgiving - tentative shakedown trip planned for Nov 18th.

Your shelf idea gave me another idea to build a corner shelf. I can use it to store a portable DVD player, and it will also act as bracing.

Lately I've been adding one of those to my design too!

If I have time I'll pull up the weekender design and generate a photo for you...

I think they are called Tschotche catchers.

thanks........i cant spell worth a darn.

I'M IMPRESSED THAT YOU GUYS KNEW THAT WORD!

I've always spelled it Chochkah, though--based on nothing at all except that's how I like to spell it. It's also pronounced Chochkee, but I think the "ah" is singular and the "ee" is plural.

I also call it "stupid little crappy things."

I always thought of tchotchkes as cheap worthless junk that the spouse drags home and uses to clutter the house.
It's the exact opposite of the stuff we bring home which are pure treasures.

Maybe I am wrong here.
