Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I have been told that any homebuilt trailer has to be built from a set of "Approved" plans and then needs to be inspected by an Oregon Building Codes Inspector and receive a sticker/label before it can be registered with DMV. I have also been told it is costly and very slow to get a set of plans approved. Does anyone know if there are any plans that have been approved by the state of Oregon Building Codes Division and which ones they are?

What kind of trailer are you trying to build?

Have a good day.

I want to build a traditional styled teardrop. I want one that is wide enough to be a queen sized bed, long enough to have a closet in the front end of the interior and have a simple but complete galley. So I am guessing something with a trailer body about 5x10. But I don't want to have to go through getting new design approval from Oregon State Building Codes Department. I have been considering trying to locate an older teardrop needing complete rebuilding as it would already have been approved.

Thanks. That seems to answer my questions. Better yet, I sent Glenn Anderson an eMail since he lives in the same city as I do. I hope to go over and look at his as well as ask questions.

Aw, again I'm late. The first thing I was going to do was look for that thread because I had remembered reading something about the same problem. Any ways glade you got your answer Stephen. Glenn will probably be more than happy to help out in any way.

Have a safe Thanksgiving.
