Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

So, after seeing so many talented people, awsome builds and great feedback from people on topics, and not having seen the progression of my own in an order like this, I thought it was time for a post....

6 piece molded fibreglass tear/ttt
upper shell, lower shell, interior floor pan, left and right fender flare/step, propane/battery cover (not built yet) and possibly a front window rock guard... made by a very talented fibreglass maker and group of people.

upper out and lowering on lower section view from rear.


view from front.


on frame with door cut out.


d/s view.


with flares and finally in my garage.


flares painted and wheels mocked up.




windows in.


and all in similar characteristics to matchup the TV.


My goal is to be mobile for our May long weekend, as I sort through my pics, I will update as I go... feedback, comments, ideas and critics are all welcome..... for me this could not come together as well as it is, without some of the ideas, builds, wisdom, experience, and the sharing of knowledges that happen... Thanks.

HOLY BUCKETS!

nice job! looks great!

Looks very nice!

Does it smell?

Not trying to be rude, just wondered if it smells strongly of fiberglass...
I've been around some newly build fiberglass items that had a strong odor, and would be concerned that the interior of a fiberglass box might be overwhelming?

Thanks, and nope, no smells once cured.. besides the maple inside has a nice fresh wood smell....pics of maple coming.

Wow! That's a nice looking camper! Cool red fenders, too.

THAT'S A BEAUTY!!!

Great looking trailer. Love the profile and the fenders add a great touch.

nice trailer, it had to be quite expensive to build the molds, are you planning on selling them?

Yep, that's a real beauty... Looking forward to seeing the maple too!

The "silkstone" is the first cast out of the mold, I need to finish this one first, and maybe depending on thoughts and feedback I may, or just build a few customs for hobby and fun.... way to soon to tell, but of course the thought has crossed my mind...

Dear Silkstone,

Congrats on your tear. Keep going and you will certainly travel by May.

Great looking trailer silkstone!!

I was just wondering... Is the trailer a pop-up, or are the top and bottom halves permanently fixed. If it's a pop-up, what do you do with the door when it is folded down? Any pictures of the fold down position (if applicable)?

Great work in fiberglass!

bgordon, Thanks, and they are 2 permanently mounted upper and lower sections.

So what happened to the inside pics?? Inquiring minds want to know.

A few more pics, this time of some of the interior.

this is looking forward, with plywood templates.


mocked up in ply with the chairs.


an idea of the maple walling.


p/s front entry storage and swivel chair 1.


p/s side front entry storage and chair 2.


still more pics to sort out.
