Hello
! Hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and fall, with lots of fun filled camping adventures. Bob and I have spent more time camping this year, with the teardrop, than we've done the last couple of years (tenting) combined! Went to a weekend gathering of TCTeardrop owners and had a great time comparing notes and seeing how folks modified their TDs to fit their needs. Looking forward to teardrop gatherings next year! Got a tour of a CampInn and RetroRide teardrop while out camping and of course gave quite a few tours of ours.
Never did get the "fancy fabric" version of my DIY luggable loo/changing room done. Which is probably good as I've changed my mind on the design a few times while making the temporary version out of tarps. In case you missed it in the General Discussion section of the board, my how-to thread is located here:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=57669The tarp version turned out very usable, and light weight. I'm thinking if I can either sew and square up the two outside edge seams, or maybe put decorative tarp tape down the edges of those seams (on the outside), the room will look less like a bag hanging of the edge of the canopy/TD. I'm also thinking of cutting out a screened window on the side with a roll up Velcro'd curtain of tarp material. The screening will be there more for support than bug proofing, as the current version of my DIY room doesn't have a roof.
Another project in the works is a fabric edged door, with screening and designed to be dog proof in mind----which is attached to the inside of the TD's door frame area. That way the TD doors can be opened for the most air flow possible. Both TCTeardrops and at least the version of the Camp Inn TD I saw in the wild has a version of that as an additional accessory I could buy, but I want to make them myself.
