From Lynnwood, WA with a rebuilt homebuilt TD

Postby Jim.Johnson » Thu Apr 23, 2015 3:58 pm

I acquired a home-built a few months ago that needed a lot of work to make it weather worthy. It was pretty solid, but leaked like a sieve. Some of the fit and finish left a lot to be desired. One door was warped so it couldn't fit, the hatch fit poorly, it was covered with fiberglass and painted without any sanding or filling, etc. A lot of refitting, adding trim and weatherstripping, filling and sanding has gotten me a lot closer to what I want. I also replaced the original axle and wheels and set the axle back 6 inches for better tongue weight. Now I'm looking forward to some gatherings and getting acquainted with other Teardroppers and getting new ideas about improvements.

Hey Jim, that's a nice TD, We got our TD a year ago, and We had a great time last year! Getting ready to take Her out for the first time this year, next week! We are pretty much neighbors, I live in Woodinville, Wa. Maybe We will see you one day on the camping trial, have fun!
