Hello from Corpus Christi TX

Hi!

My name is Jessica and I am looking to build my own tear drop. I recently lost everything I owned in a nasty divorce and I am looking to start over in a most simple way. I am hoping that having a small teardrop as my home will get me on my feet and keep me out of the rain

Pointers and advice are welcome!

First off, welcome....You have come to the right place. All the info you will need is here and it's free for the asking. First you should tell us what you had in mind. Size ,budget, time frame, your skill level Etc. There are always home built's for sale and often for less then you could build your own for. I know of 2 in Illinois for sale right now. Check Ebay and Craigslist in your area. If you have the time and a place to work then build your own. I suggest covering it with aluminum if you plan to live in it. Or the cheapest way too get out of the weather is to do a cargo conversion. Lots of used ones around. Check out the Cargo Conversion section on this forum. Good luck with what ever you decide!

Did you say VESPA?? Do you have one? I have a modern 250. Love it.

Welcome and I hope someone can get you started here with a tiny roof over your head. It's better than no roof, and you can always work up. I just read an article today about a couple who live in a school bus. No bathroom, but they live in the bus and cook on a camp stove. They are backpackers. So it's basic living, but that doesn't mean it's bad. As long as you are warm, safe, and fed.

Good luck, and I hope someone here can get you started with a teardrop.
