Jim's teardrop

[pohukai]

I finished the paw prints and yellow strips. It is basically done, now just waiting for some time to try it out in a real camp ground. I've slept in the garage about 2 weeks and am satisfied for now. The dogs love it, too.

Looks great!

Since I wasn't using the HF fenders, I re-purposed them as a shoe rack. I wanted this even if I didn't have the fender to keep the shoes out of the camper, off the ground and not exposed to the evening do and rain.

Only one hole needed to be drilled.

Thank you for your build journal and all your photos!!
This is exactly the inspiration I was looking for for a 5" wide trailer.

So it has been 2 years since you build it: Any regrets or any upgrades that you would not or would have done instead?

How has the split decking worked?

Any other problems with the spare tire mounted underneath?

Did you add any additional storage (tongue) boxes or did you find your internal storage adequate?

Regrets? The major one is only having gone camping once this year. Just too busy with work.

Minor regret would be the galley. Galley doors that open into the work area make it difficult and requires perfect planning while preparing the meal. I'm in the process of redoing the galley cabinets so that they are raised above the work area.

The split deck has worked out perfect; no issues at all.

I haven't had any problems with the mounted spare tire although I haven't had to change a flat yet to really validate it.

I haven't done anything on the tongue to add additional storage. I've thought about it but it is low priority.

I'd like to redo the windows to allow additional ventilation. It's not bad, but would just be nice to have.
