Hello from Tennessee!

[WildBill]

Thank You for activating my account here.
I have been wanting a TearDrop Camper for some time now, and I have finally decided on going ahead and building one.
Recently I built a small 40"x 48" camping trailer that came out really good and performed well on its maiden camping trip to
the Wanee festival in Live Oak Florida, but now I want to add a TD to my collection.
I researched many designs and styles and even came up with a few of my own, but since this will be my first TD I decided it would probably be
best if I purchase plans and templates. I decided on a style and manufacturer and the templates etc, should be here on Monday.
I plan on building on a HF 48" x 96" trailer.
I will take pictures during the build, and share them here with you all.

Excellent! Keep us informed on the process and ask all the question you have. I am sure someone here can answer them or point you to an older thread that will have the answers you need.

Also, check out tearjerkers.net for the Tennessee chapter.

Thank you for the warm welcomes.

I am really excited about this build and I enjoy posting a work in process just as much as reading others builds, so I
will post pics and keep you all posted.
This will be my 1st TD, so it wont be anything real fancy. Just somewhat basic. BUT, I do plan on building a second and possibly a third TD
that will more than likely get more fancier as I learn from them.
Well, I received my templates and I also bought the 4x8 today and worked all day getting it put together.

Since my queen size mattress is 60", I decided to go with a 5 foot wide TD to accommodate it. I will add 6" to each side and add cut out wheel wells and trim the curve.

..btw, my brother was so interested in my desire to build a teardrop, that he also bought a trailer and we are going to be building them together.
