Looking on other sites for new ideas for teardrops

Many of our members are or were boat builders and boats as you well know were around long before teardrops ever hit the road.

This site is an example they used an interesting way to build windows. I am putting a trolley on my teardrop and found this helpful.

I also look up boat galleys, hatches, doors, decks, luggage racks etc.

Paint surfaces, stains, water proofing, marine lumber, even wiring can be found helpful from a number of boat sites.

Just look at the old cars they often started out with bodies that looked like boats. Mostly the ones made with wood.

I also look at old tin lizzy sites for luggage racks, tire holders, Trunks, etc.

You might share where you look outside the forum for ideas.
