Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Just called in on the axle (torflex #9), lead time... 4 weeks. I guess I have plenty of time to layout, measure, remeasure, remeasure and remeasure the frame (maybe a little welding ). I wanted a winter project anyway.

That seems like a pretty fair wait in this ecomomy???

...my last one was nearly 2 wks...that was a couple of yrs ago...I guess everyone is building their own.......

When I ordered mine, I was told 3 weeks, imagine my surprise when it showed up in just 9 days

Jeff, my experience was very similar...they told me 2 wks and I believe it was 8r9 days later that it came in........

Thanx for the support....

Your teardrop design can only benefit from long delays in building... at least that's what I'm hoping as I agonize over my particular delay.

For example... if you can continue to buld your tear and have the axle the LAST thing you postition and install, you can achieve the OPTIMUM tongue weight desired! Now, I dunno how practical that is... 'cause it seems that one'd be welding then on their back... then putting out a big fire... Ok. ...nevermind.



Anyhoo...

Another benefit to having to wait is that one can continue to read from the wealth of ideas and trailer features already posted on this fine site.



Check through sdtripper2's Index, for example, and the Vintage Plans for more ideas.

Its here, its here... my axle has arrived. Frame is precut and ready to start welding. One problem, I get married next week and she says wait ubtil after the honeymoon so she can help.

At least she's into it.
