Thanks 'Gimp', I'm still working on my project... Starting to think it may never be 'finished' I keep thinking of more things I want to do to it!

I actually saw a DIY teardrop video on Youtube that had solid wood walls, 1 1/2 inches thick from dbl 3/4" plywood... He layered the curved roof with ply inside and metal on the outside.
Others will go triple plywood, Using 3/4" in the center, with holes cut for insulation and 1/4" inside and out. I just watch and learn... Applying what appeals to me that fits my budget and my trailer.
One of these days, I'll upload some pics of it so I can post a few for anyone curious.

Going to be early June before we get on the road. I'm an old biker, now retired and doing the cage thing. Just wondering how the teardrop pulls behind the bike.
Why does everyone type in such a small font?[
The Beavers Bend Campground , that's in Oklahoma , right? size=150]

Thanks 'Don'... 6x9 is huge compared to my 24 sq ft 4x6... Yeah, I'm in OKC so I jumped on a meetup that close! I have a friend that pulls a small popup camper with a goldwing trike. On YouTube, I've seen some DIY 'Foamies' pulled behind a bicycle! they're 1 1/2 styrofoam glued together and layered in fiberglass or PMF/canvas/glue and paint. I'm sure you can make a camper to haul behind a regular motorcycle... I haul a small scooter in my camper for campground mobility and ice runs. lol


I just noticed that you are in OKC and I want to give you a personal invite to Sooner State chapter of Tearjerkers , Having a gathering at Lake Thunderbird State Park , September 21-25th . Look on Tearjerkers.net and sooner state Chapter. I'm trying to get this chapter up and running.
