Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Joe , that sounds really Great !!! Anxious to see your pictures !!!

I got foam for my beds and seats. All was 5" thick, that was great for the bed, but too thick for the seats. I cut it down, so it's around 2 1/2 inches thick now. The cushions will be fine now. Off to the fabric store for curtains and cushions. It's starting to look like I might be able to use this thing after all.
I also plumbed some of my gas lines.
I still need to plumb in some grey water containment, I'm thinking about using some 6" drain pipe, That's still in the planning stage (rolling around in my head).

6” pipe is pretty big , you going to use that as a tank ?

I figured that around 8 feet of six inch pipe will hold eight gallons of dishwater. I have a seven gallon water tank under the sink.

I have my camper painted, and the windows are installed. I still have some curtains, cushions and minor trim work to complete, but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter.

I also need to get the project out of my workshop so I can put wheels under it.

NICE !!!

Hehe...I just did that math this afternoon. I have 86" of 6" pipe and 11' of 4". Both work out to 7 gallons. I had thought that using pipe for tankage was kind of a waste of space vs building a ply/epoxy tank but the simplicity of it can't be beat. Of course, for folks who aren't using ply & epoxy it's a great way to make unused space space work for you and it's easy to make sure it's water tight.

For anyone who's wondering, the math is: diam X 3.14 X length(also in inches) to give you cubic inches. Divide by 231 to get US gals.

I said it before and I'll say it again: that window in the door is great : it's distinctive and it adds so much style. Good job!
I'm looking forward to seeing a full shot of it in outside light - I'll bet this one's a knockout.

I was thinking that this was a pie are square x length formula for a cubic inches?

Yeah, pie are square, not round! Piard.

Pie are round , cornbread are square ...  just something I heard , not yet confirmed...

The finished product, built in a little more than a year with all the comforts of home. I can't wait to travel.

Wow! That looks fantastic!
Would love some interior picks, and also more exterior views.
Great job.

Joe , could you please explain your artistic paint job .... Looks to me like an Expressionist distant cityscape as viewed from the desert ...

what he said.

This is what happens when you put canvas on a trailer then coat it with white paint making it looked like an artist's canvas on an easel. My wife couldn't let it sit as-is. She picked the colors and the painting technique (she also did the painting)

She come up with design ideas that make me wonder what's she trying to do, but they turn out great.

She did it again!
