Another Michigan new guy

Postby Indy_J » Fri Sep 12, 2014 4:36 pm

Hello every one! My name is Kevin and I've recently become very interested I the tear drop trailers. I stumbled on to this forum and having been surfing around for the past few days. There is an overwhelming amount of information and creativity on this site which is exactly why I joined. I'm planning on building a Benroy design 5x8 trailer to haul with my car. My build likely will not start until spring of 2015 which gives me plenty of time to research, take notes and buy most of the required materials.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi.

Hi Kevin, Michigan is cool. Welcome to the forum. School is never out is it? I built my benroyesk a couple of years ago before I found the site, Doooh. The variety of knowledge and design on this site is mind boogeling. I find things my trailer needs me to build constantly. Her name is Gina. I digress. The sky is the limit with teardrops or anything between, you get to decide.
Enjoy, Chris

Fred, you'd be surprised. We camp in Gowen and live in Ionia.

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the site. I'm in Wisconsin near the UP border. Do you Michiganders have any get-togethers up in the UP?

:o I live on the county line. Ionia County is across the road.
Maybe we'll meet & talk teardrops sometime.

Welcome aboard Kevin,
Enjoy your build and have fun 8)
As mentioned, the Tear Jerkers is another great group and you may find that many members belong to both groups :applause:
Just select the Tear Jerkers link at the top of the page, log-in, and see where folks meet in the different regions_we all love to camp and that is probably the most important point ... love to camp, and have fun is the other. :vroom:
Bring your tent, camper, trailer, or whatever you have and enjoy the camaraderie of all. 8)
Happy Camping & Building,
John (JC)
