Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Thanks for the concern, but I've got an idea that i think will work. If not, i'll do to plan..........F i think!

So for an update! I've got a couple of cell phone pics that aren't all that great, but you'll get the idea.

that is looking Awesome a great design for any truck

Thanks droid. I'll get better pics tomorrow so you can see the sides and maybe the inside too.

Looks pretty awesome. I will be interested in seeing some inside photos. How is the headroom?

Head room is good, just in the back half. Which is acceptable because i will only be siting or laying down in the front half. OK now for some updated pics!



Here is good view of the rear door. The top half flips up and acts as a little roof, the bottom half is pretty standard. On the inside of the top half is a screen that folds towards the front. It works pretty good. It does take away from the head room a little, but i can live with it.

OK, a little explaination, for more breathability, I wanted some windows a little higher up in the rig. For now i'll use some window screening that will roll down and cover the gap while the 'window' is not installed. You'll see the insert in one of the next pictures. The rest of the sides forward of the window simply fold in during travel.

Top stowed ready for travel!

Thanks for looking!

How will you get this in the truck?

AH - I love plan B for the upper door - The flip up hatch pure genius - it even allows for the functionality of the lower door when closed

Thanks Starleen2!

Glamoree, brute strength, I hope!

I'm guessing truck camper jacks

Very well thought out, you should get some good dry sleeps in that.

thanks hugh, i sure hope so!

stonykill, we'll see. I looked at the prices and if i bought a set, i'd spend half as much as i got in the camper. We'll try lifting it by hand at first, then i'll get a bettre idea at what i need.

what about a swing-set style of a lift to get it in and out

Not sure what u r talking about.

the very bottom of this page its called a camper hoist
Sorry about the confusion

Still ca't wait to see that camper on your truck

Since the campertop is low it would fit in a garage on top of the truck, so one could use the rafters of a garage as the hoist frame.
