Whetzeldorf No3

Started on the next version of the Wetzeldorf a couple of weeks ago. A few small changes...new door style, table design, ceiling trim, etc.

Dan, it's hard to believe the room inside an 8' long trailer. The replica is much more efficient and more roomy than the original. I'm still thinking about it every time I look at the teardrop.
Both have a "place" in camping and I could go either way.
More people should see your trailers so they can see for themselves that a "big rig" is not really needed for comfort and convenience. :thumbsup:

Making headway. Interior complete, skins on, as is door, stove mount, etc. Windows and trim next

Have decided on a different aluminum skin. Instead of mill finish changed to a painted silver.

Thanks Thomas. I still like building teardrops but these have been popular lately.

I was actually thinking for something like this for my sister who is dying to get into the camping scene... I forwarded to her!
