Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Where are all the off road teardrops ?? I'm looking to build one for some 4x4 trips and the ones i'm seeing wouldn't fair to well lol. I mean the street ones look real nice and all but I want off road pic's and tips .....

viewforum.php?f=39 Here is the section for Off-Road Teardrops on the forum.

You mean something like this?

CrowsWing
my current favorite, just 'cause the sketchup looks so sweet, and the lady has skills!

We all build to our needs. I built mine to be towed behind my jeep.

YES Gage ! YES YES !!! Forest that is what I want to build !!! Im not looking at bombing across the desert ,just tooling . As of right now im thinking of 4.5 'W X 9'L X 4.5'H. Will the wood frame ones hold up ??? Was thinking of going with a torsion axel just to give more ground clearance . Will they hold up or should I go with a conventional axel ? Then I was reading about the plywood delaminating . It get's pretty hot here in southern Nevada . Any thoughts ?? Sorry sooo many Q's ...

Joanne lives in Nevada if i recall so she may have a few more ideas. I went with 2 inch square tubing and 3/4 baltic birch plywood. my dimensions are 5 feet wide 100 feet long 3 foot tongue and 4 feet tall. went with a conventional 3500lb axle with 2000lb leaf springs. questions are good for sure.

Wow! How do you drive towing a 100 foot long trailer?

We use 3 jeeps to pull it and 2 to push.

Sorry for the mistake. Its 10 feet long

Here is one that I'm sort of modeling mine after....

My "Dog House" build is linked in my Signature.

The Sawtooth XL is another good one. http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=24959&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

more dirt road than hardcore

How about this one? Maybe not the type jeep you had in mind. It's tiny: 3' x 7' inside. I started with a Korean War-vintage M100 1/4 ton trailer -borrowed the tongue, axle, and fenders off it. 2" square tube steel frame. I would take it anywhere the jeep can go.

Oh! You got it painted! It looks sweet! I'm diggin' the stylings!

Thanks, I did! Took advantage of this warm midwest weather we're getting.
