Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I am in the beginning stages of building my new Teardrop design and need an economical source for windows and a manufactured door. Any ideas? Thanks

Grant has a good price on windows...

Don't know about the doors though...

Oh btw, welcome to the forum!

Welcome Aboard,
Give Cary at Camp-Inn a shout... He sells their door as a kit.

Most of us build our own doors. Not that big of a deal. Take your time and think them carefully, like everything else on your tear. Lots of great help on this forum.

Tiki Dude - Welcome to the forum.

Did some checking myself, didn't find anything in the catagory of "economical manufactured teardrop door". Grant at Lil' Bear has about the best prices on the awning style windows though. The Camp-Inn doors are really nice, high quality dosen't come cheap though. If you can build a teardrop you can build doors. Thats what I think anyway..

I got both my windows at the local auto junkyard. One from a conversion van and one from an old prison van! Paid $15 for the vertical and $20 for horizontal. Had to remove them myself which was cool because I was careful and got the trim rings too. Both are black sliders, with smoked glass and screens. I have some pics on my album if you want to check them out. The only window I bought new was the black smoked porthole that I'm going to put in the door. That cost me more than the other two combined!

I used Grants windows...he also has some black anodized ones....I prefer the crank out style...it's more like the originals and in the rain...it doesn't come in like it could on a slider....just my thoughts....Doug

You folks are great, thanks for the help. I found some great windows on eBAY, plus vents, skylights, etc.

I bought my windows semi-locally, I had to drive about an hour. They are the exact same windows that Grant sells.

I bought 21x21 windows on ebay. HEHR Was the Mfg.frankbear was the seller. The windows are sliding with screens. I paid $141.30. That was including shipping and handeling.

Steve, was your $40 shipping for one window or two? I may decide to skip the cheaper sash windows I found and go with the awning type. I will probably wait to see what type window is in the door I'm getting from Redneck and try to match it as closely as possible.

Has anyone tried this company?

$40 was shipping for 2 windows and 2 door latches, UPS ground. Grant did an excellent job with the packaging too. At first it seemed like a lot of money but after hours of google, found this to be pretty reasonable. Anything shipped from coast to coast ain't cheap anymore.
