Greetings from the two-one-five!

Hi Teardropers!

I live in the grand city of Philadelphia. I hold a degree in Interior Architecture, but I have not been able to find a job since I graduated, so I am moonlighting as a bartender. I am hoping to build a teardrop for two reasons: a) to keep my design skills sharp and b) to have an awesome trailer to travel in. I do have some big hurdles to overcome, chiefly that I live in a tiny studio apartment slap-bang in the heart of the city. I am trying to find a suitable place to build my tear. Similarly, I have no storage space to store said tear when it is completed. Finally, I have no vehicle at the moment (living in the city, it is laughable to have a car!).

So if I can find a place to create, a suitable home, and a trusty steed to pull my wagon, this build is a go!

Well there ya go…

Even with all those obstacles piled up against her, Sarah STILL is gonna build a teardrop. My money’s on her.

(Kinda makes some of our excuses seem sorta lame, don’t it?)

[shortleggedsarah]

Well now I have to build it, because I can't let Tex down!

Love the attitude!! My money is on you.

All the best,

Dave

Welcome to the addiction!

Here's something to consider, based on my own experience with buying a trailer frame and not having a place to work on it...if you go with a small cargo trailer, you will have a "workshop" of sorts in the trailer itself. Battery operated tools are awesome when you don't have an electric outlet at your building site. Storage facilities will often have spaces for trailers, and cargo trailers do fine outside. Some storage areas won't let you work on your vehicle onsite, though. You can generally find someone who will pull a trailer for you to a location of your choice, so you don't absolutely need a tow vehicle right away. Cargo trailers lend themselves to many design options, but they definitely lack the "cute" factor that teardrops and small canned hams have.

Good luck with whatever route you choose. You sound very determined. And with your design background, you might stumble onto a second career you weren't expecting!
