Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I just inherited a teardrop that needs work in Atlanta, GA.

The owner gave it to me after a roll over accident. There is some light damage to the front left but the back will require reconstruction. The galley cannot close, there is separation of a portion of the roof and wall, the galley is in pieces.

I need someone who is familiar with the building of a teardrop to look at it and suggest how bad the damage really is. Do I need to fix the damage or dismantle and start over? Starting over might be easier from what I can tell.

Please write with suggestions.

Burg,, its hard to actually tell but if its any where close to what you have described,, and I visualize, then tear it down and rebuild. You might have a lot of things that can be reused and salvaged. You run the risk of having a structural failure going down the road if ya just re-work what ya got. Front damage, roof seperation, hatch not closeable, sounds like some pretty major damage going on,,,

just my opinion but rebuild

Do you know anyone who could take a look and give a little advice?

Some pictures would help..... but a tear that has been significantly damaged is tough to fix because of the way they are constructed..... kind like a monoque race car... everything becomes one piece...

Welcome Burg...some pics and a better indication of where it and you ar at could help us abunch to help you

I will be glad to post pictures as soon as I can. I live near I-75 and Northside Drive just North of Downtown Atlanta. If I take the TD anywhere, it needs to go where I can do some work on it.
