Hi Doug,

Welcome to the forum. Being 10 years older than you, I can understand the sleeping on the ground thing. Well, if you decide to build, then questions are welcome and if you decide to buy, then questions are still ok, but probably not so many. Jump in and have fun and enjoy the forum.


See you around. :thumbsup:

Hi, Doug,
I'm in Centre County, close to Penn State. Welcome to the forum, and the world of teardrop trailers! I did the tent thing years ago, too, and a teardrop is MUCH better! You'll love it!

Hi Doug, glad to have you aboard. Some lurkers, hesitate to become involved in actually posting comments or questions on our forum. I commend you for your spirit, and hope that we can be informative and aid in your quest to provide more info regarding our little "dry-as-a-bone" camping experieces. Camping in a teardrop is a high-and-dry way to slumber, unlike a canvas tent, often associated with negative experiences. (wind, rain and rocky ground, are no problem, as in canvas enclosures).

At age 67, I can only repeat all of the positive aspects of camping in a truely, wonderus little camping unit, that is unlike any other. Now, where else, after enjoying a cozy neighboring campfire, can you kick off your shoes and settle into a cozy night's sleep in a teardrop? You can flip on the interior heater or mattress warmer, then wake up some hours later with the sun shining through the window, with the anticipitation of sharing a bacon an egg breakfast with some previously unknown, friendly nearby teardrop enthusiasts?

After 6 years of traveling throughout the 48 states in a luxuriously appointed motorhome, this heartwarming experinence never was experienced, not even once! I have found that teardroppers are a special breed, always willing to share a cup of coffee and give you a hardy, Heidi ho.

It is not unusual for me, after setting up camp and firing up the charcoals under my dutchoven, that some hours later, we invite complete strangers over, to share a tasty, potroast dinner, complete with potatoes, onions, carrots, yams and tons of gravy. Now where else can you do that? All we ask is that they bring their own plates and silverware.

Welcome to the forum, and hope that you soon will become one of us.

Hi Doug,
Welcome aboard. Looks like Pa. is an up and coming power in the tear and ttt world. Even if you don't build, you will be hard pressed to find a friendlier and more helpful group of people anywhere on the net. Great time of the year to spend some time reading through the archive. Amazing stuff!
