Hi All
I have been lurking for some time gathering information for my build. I am starting my frame monday for a 5'x5'x10' Benroy. You guys have helped answer alot of questions already. I hope that you will help with the other thousand questions to come. This is the best site on the web for teardrop help and info. YOU GUYS and GIRLS ROCK!

Welcome aboard Joe....just recently I posted about how you can get anything you want here in terms of answers, links, resources. It's the truth...I've been here 4 years and am always astounded at the info that is available. I think the most important thing is to have fun with your build and it'll be fun to use. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Doug

Welcome Joe,

I hear the price of steel has gone down a little. How about a little insight into where you get your steel and maybe how much $$$. I'm sure there are many out there that would be interested.

Thanks

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Steve your right, the steel prices have come down a good bit. Thats why I waited till now to start. A friend that works at a steel supplier gave me the heads up that the price was getting ready to drop. I priced 2x2 box tubing a month ago and it was $93 for a 24' stick. I paid $52 dollars for the same thing today. Now thats worth the wait! I also purched 20' of 4.1# 3" C channel for $35. I will have a total cost of $207 in steel for the frame. The axle I got was a 2200# torkflex for $179

I purchased The Steel localy at Barkhurst Construction - Weirton, WV.. The Axil wad purchased at a local RV dealer.
