Finally joined today. I know there's another Elmo on this forum, so hopefully we won't be confused for each other much. (when in doubt, if the response is goofy, ignorant, or of no help whatsoever, it's probably mine! LOL)
I've been looking at tears and TTTs for over a year now, and had planned on building something eventually; We have an annual family reunion out at the family farm, and I've grown tired of tent sleeping on air mattresses. (my back can't take it anymore.
)
Well, we stayed in a hotel last year, and planned on doing it again this year. Only problem is they ran out of rooms. (our fault for waiting to long to make plans really)
So, "damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!" I've got until just about the end of July to get something built and maiden trip ready.
I'll be posting my build progress over in the journals section for posterity. (also so that I can point out the exact moment where I screwed up when I discover an error later on!
) I've already built the HF 1800lb trailer, and will have completed the floor structure by tonight; I did manage to take a few pictures along the way, so I'll post those up while it's raining tomorrow night.
I've already garnered tons of inspiration and ideas from many of your builds here, and I want to thank each of you in advance if you happen to spot something that looks like it was ripped off from your build design. (because it probably was!)
Anyhow, I'm sure it'll be said again and again over the next month or so, but thanks in advance to everyone that helps me out along the way!

to the forum from another Pennsylvanian. We are from the Altoona area. I hear ya about tent camping and sleeping on the ground. This old frame cant take it. So thats the reason we built our Tear. You need to join the TearJerkers and check out some Tears up close. Good way to figure out what you want and dont need and the people are great.
