5x8 teardrop on a 4x8 frame first time build!

Postby kanudude » Fri Oct 18, 2013 8:50 pm

This is my first time ever trying to build a teardrop plus I have now idea what I'm doing. I have a small budget but big ideas so this should be fun.

My plan is to take a old 4x8 trailer that I've had for years and turn it into a awesome 5x8 teardrop. I'm going to try and keep the build as simple as possible. Classic teardrop with galley, tongue box, roof rack and what ever else I think I might need. I have no plans to run it for power, just going to use stick on leds for light. And some day I want to make it an off road trailer, but lets get it built first.

I started with an old folding trailer that I had turned into a kayak trailer. Then turned it back into a flat trailer and thats when I decided to start the build!

Keeping it simple and "whatever else I think I might need" are contradictory. But that's half the fun!!

Just keep the pictures coming and good luck.
