Greetings from Philadelphia. I'm about to start on my teardrop adventure: I just finished assembling my trailer kit (Northern Tool 5x8; look for a question in the Trailer forum soon

), and am excited to get in there and really start messing with stuff. Thanks for a great board, and thanks for letting me in.
In case I owe you a joke, here's one:
Did you hear the one about the constipated mathematician?
He had to work it out with a pencil! I'm here all week; try the veal.

Welcome, from the Gettysburg area! This forum is an amazing resource for building!
I built our last teardrop (orange and white one linked below) on the NT 5x8 kit.... it makes a nice base! Its actually up for sale right now, but we've also got a little Scotty that we camp in.
Also be sure to check out the TearJerkers, specifically the Liberty Bell Chapter. We have a section in the
TearJerkers forum, and also a
Facebook group page if you're on there. We've got a gathering in Western PA (Shenango Recreation Area) coming up in the middle of August, and also a gathering at Hickory Run State Park, October 11-13. Even if you aren't finished with you camper, grab a campsite and a tent and join us!
