I had no idea what I was doing.

A few months ago I decided to make myself a tiny camping trailer. I had no experience but decided to go for it anyways. Through all the great resources I found online here I was able to build this.

Here is a link to the whole album http://imgur.com/a/HJ9ej

I am going to attempt to post the pictures here.

Very nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup: That's one sturdy looking teardrop. It will make a good rolling bomb shelter :)

Now that you know what you are doing I can't wait to see the next one...and there is always a next one!

Looks good, but it must be a bit claustrophobic with no windows

That looks great RufiOh. Thanks for the pics.

Is the body designed to slide off the chassis when you need?
