Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Well after five years of wanting to build a Tailgate Trailer. I found this forum and I took the jump. I found this trailer on craigslist and I bought it. After getting it home I found out it had lots of wood rot!!!! So I tore down the trailer and started over.

I started the rebuild in April and I now almost have it done!!!!! Its been alot of work.... more than I thought....Here are some current Pic's. I wanted to cover it in Filon but after pricing it I went with aluminum. Found the white in a 10 X 5 sheet and the red in 4 x 8. I just need to add graphics. I am ready to get the inside of it done. The green rack up front is for my generator. After that is removed I can put in my window unit for overnight tailgating... I know I am sick

I love this forum

hey that's a neat twist. Thats whats great about building your own, you can get it exactly how you want it. Looks Sharp!

p.s.- really like those Cragars

Its not the normal cargo conversion... It works for what I need it for. Now we can have a trailer to haul camping stuff and also have movie night at the campground...I wanted it to look retro so I kept the cragars..I would love to install gas struts for the cargo cover. Any ideas? Thanks for the kind words.

Great job Bruce. Love what you've done!! Thanks for posting all the pictures.

VERY clean and sharp Bruce!

I like the red and white.

Are you going to paint and carpet the metal grate/step on the front? (I vote for red!)

Its funny you asked about the rack. I was talking to a buddy today about redoing it. I really would like a new one which has pins so I could remove it. I also think I will go back with soild sheet metal where the underside would be sealed.....Its still a work in progress. But yes I think I will paint it red when its done.
