I'm hoping to build a tear to haul behind the wifes MINI.

Howdy and welcome! Like you I'm new also but while looking on here ran across a link here under general discussion- Starting point under 4a a link to Douglas Heisters book. In that book review is a pic of a mini with a teardrop trailer. It might help. Its on Page 1956 and its a 2003 Mini Cooper.

Welcome nice to see another cali builder



you know i have lived in redding for 30 yrs and never knew of this up at lake shasta...guess its time to get out of my cave

You might want to keep in mind that there is a wonderful gathering up at Lake Shasta, the first weekend of May. There are typically 70+ tears and a lot of other canned hams etc...to check out. It's a great place to get ideas, touch base with a lot of members on this and Grants forum, and just camp. We pretty much have the entire campground, and tenters or what we call, tear "soft siders" are welcomed. Doug

PS...I've never had any raccoon issues there!
