Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I insulated the front V nose area,

I will finish the rest later I just had to get the front done so i could start my cabinet.

Installed the Propex heater,
This is on the drivers side front top down.

This is bottom side


I used cheap Sink drains to go through the floor with the intake and exhaust.



I used this Stainless steal sink drain to run the exhaust through the wall below the floor. It was going to cost me over $120 to get a "Through haul adapter" from a marine place that sells the Propex stuff and this cost me $12.





On the front I removed the plastic battery vent and put in the Dodge fuel door. Took some creativity to make it seal but it works well. This i will use as a power and water access door.

Front mount is a temp ply wood job but it worked well for the first trip. The wood will make a good template for the metal work.

Some is just temp because i only had a short time before the week long scout camp. Camp was great.

This was from my bed

This was 1/4 mile from camp on a wheeler ride when the boys were off working on merit badges and i had a free min.



Lots of work to do but I got a start and a chance to give it a trial run.
I had the essential. Heater, Water, Bed and porta potty.

Nice work! Where did you pick up that bed?

Looking good. Really nice views and sounds like a great trip.

Crazylegs,

Ya dun good! Nice and sweet. Congrats!

I have a buddy that that owns an RV dealership and it is was in his shop. The couch back is missing so it is kind of narrow to sleep on. I am working on making a back that will also extent the bed wider and fold back to the couch.

You have a nice build starting there Crazylegs. Enjoy the build

looking great. Please keep the photos coming

Nice work, Crazylegs.

I do see a bit of familiarity, with some notable changes. Yours is more deluxe, with installed heater, sink, and a porta-potty. I opted for a sealed battery inside, and a Heater Buddy portable. I have found that down here (no-snow country) I don't use the heat much, so I don't haul it along unless it is a mountain trip. Likewise for the sink. I use a stainless bowl for my sink. My choice for toilet was a "luggable loo" with WAG bags and I don't haul the loo along if I'm camping where they have pit toilets.

I believe I remember seeing on Expedition Portal's forum a CT with a ramp door with a tent setup that almost doubled the size of the interior with a hard floor. Another CT on this forum uses the ramp for a deck area.

Your looks great! Keep up the great work.

Nice work, curious as to where you purchased the windows? how much and what size are they..

great job keep those pics coming

Crazylegs,

Great job, nice build. I'll be following your build closely as I am doing something similar with a 6x10 non-V-nose.

Ordered the trailer with them from Pace 15x 30

Installed water tank today. I ordered it from Plastic tank mart.

They were good to work with. I was excited because i could custom order the size to fit between the frame rails under my trailer but low profile so i wont drag it off.










I picked up a 90 that will keep my fill spout from kinking and allow me to run it the fill tube through the frame rail. I will be rerouteing them tomorrow night.

My bed was to narrow so i an extending it and making it fold into the couch back. This is my mock up and first ideas. I have some kinks to work out.












I will post finish pics when done.
