Hi from Yucca Valley!

Postby groovyfingers » Sun Oct 19, 2014 1:45 pm

Just bought unfinished tear drop here locally. Handy man of many talents passed away while in process. Family moved it 'round until it was apparent no one was gonna do anything with it. They put it up on craigslist and my wife who has been wanting to jump in to tear drop trailers had me call. We were surprised it was close to our shop! Went to see it and thought it was a good deal so we bought it with no haggling. Surprised myself there.

Welcome aboard and great find :thumbsup:
It looks like much of the work is done except the finish --- The inside looks pretty well done also :pictures:

I grew up in the Southwest and am assuming that is where Yucca Valley is located ... can you give us a bit more detail ? :thinking:

Keep the pics coming in so we can see how your project is going ... always curious :pictures: :pictures:
Happy Camping & Building,
John (JC)

Here's some pics back in May 2015 when we were close to finishing the teardrop. We ended up replacing the hatch, his was too heavy for Kathy to lift on her own. So we went with a much lighter hatch build than the original builder envisioned. He used steel throughout his build, so this is one heavy teardrop.
