Hello from NE Ohio!

Hello everyone!

I’ve been a member of this site for just about a year. I bought a custom build teardrop (stand up one) from a person who bought from the builder that posted the build on this site. I sold it, and regret it. Now I have got my husband on board to build our own! I’m really excited and I know it will take time, quite a bit of time… I am hoping to be able to start camping with it by the end of the spring season next year. I am looking forward to all the insight and support this site and group will provide. Today I plan to go to our local Harbor Freight to buy the largest folding trailer. If you have other suggestions to the trailer, so am open to them. Thank you so much for reading!

In 2004 I bought a commercially built 4' x 10' teardrop. We loved that little thing. But in 2013 I got a "tour" of a 5'-wide. Three weeks later I was making sawdust.



You should consider a Northern Tools 5'-wide trailer (or having one welded up.) A 4'-wide will give you each about 22" of width. There's no way we would go back to a 4'-wide. A foot is a mile in a teardrop.

Grab a tape measure. Pull it out to 22".



But anywho, welcome to the start of a big deal.

Welcome to the group! I am originally from Ashtabula County but don't get back there much anymore. Beautiful country in the summer but hated the winters. I assume you have a warm place to build your trailer in if you plan to camp next year.

Looking forward to your build thread!
