I have done it.
I am on my way with the trailer frame started.
Off to see sheddie's TD today, and get some inspiration.

Well done Wayne :thumbsup: It is good to see that you have made a start on both the teardrop and the build journal.
Welcome to the TNTTT site, I hope you get some useful ideas from it.

I have had to widen the axle, from 1.2m's to 1.5m's, so we can accomodate a double inner sprung mattress.

Trailer, with removable side's, is finished and tows really well.
Am starting the teardrop now, which will sit on the flat deck, and be removable, when the trailer is needed.

Hi Wayne, you will have to re-load those first two photos at a smaller size. It makes everything rather small otherwise.
