My Teardrop

[harry j]

Hey, ya'll! This is a wonderful, and informative site! I've been lurking on it for a couple weeks, as well as youtube and most of the teardrop sites I could find on my cheap "puter. After much honest consideration, I decided that building a TD is, for now, not feasible. Due to a heart condition/defibrillator implant, little carpentry skill, and the near impossibility of finding a good trailer to build on. [I've studied HF, NT, and finding a local welder, etc.]. And, no garage,port or awning to work in. So...tomorrow we're driving up to BECkleys Camping Center in Maryland,[from Charlottesville, va], and picking up my new 5x8 Silver Shadow! Yesterday, I spent most of the afternoon reading about leak problems on little guys, on this site, mostly from '06-'09. Does anyone have information that they've corrected this? Watching the video about attaching the awning on a little guy, looked like the galley hinge had a rubber gasket/ cover thing over the hinge...At any rate, I can get my deposit back, but I doubt if I will. Bringing my camera along..
I had a 15' Parkliner FG camper, but it was, IMHO, more than I needed to drag around the country with my 4 cyl tacoma. I think a teardrop will work fine for me, and let someone else clean the outhouse/facility!!
Wish me luck, and hopefully, I'll have some pics soon...

Harry,

Welcome aboard.
We are relatively new to Teardrops and have not been disappointed in any way. They sure are a great way of getting about the countryside.
You enjoy !

Take it easy.

Hey Harry J


Any status on a Teardrop campers yet? ( as I giggle to myself, Harry J sounds like a Porn star's name from
the 80’s ) Keep us informed, and we love to see pictures, of the Teardrop at least and not anything you might
of done in the 80’s.


PS welcome aboard

Thanks for the reply & sorry I haven't replied sooner! Haven't been here much of late. I did get the 5x8 little guy i mentioned and am very happy with it. Only, I haven't used it extensively. I'm now working on an awning/canopy for it, made from pvc pipe and a tarp.
Heading up to Pennsylvania in a week or so for Briggs Farm Blues Festival, camping onsite, good blues, etc. & etc.
I wasn't a porn star in the 80's, j is merely a middle initial. Can't tell ya who harry is- Big Brother watching an all....
Happy Independence Day ya'll!!
