Spud -

I'd pick a plan you like from the design library: http://www.angib.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/teardrop/tear00.htm

And just scale up. The width is easy -- you just make the roof struts and roof a foot wider, using the same wall structure. The length is almost as easy; just add that extra two feet to the midsection of the roof, and keep the hatch the same.

Grant of Lil' Bear sells full sized profile plans for teardrops. Assuming you were not doing a standy camper.

there are also several threads on the forum that detail "lofting" your own curves.Having a one off design is part of the lure of teardrops.
