I don't know, and reading this guy's description:

"All you have to do is pop rivet the out side shell together then add the cross cap that give you all the hard bends then you bond square 1/8" wood are alum. are fiberglass. It make so you can have a teardrop trailer out side shell in less than two days."

I'm not sure if he knows what a teardrop is. :stompspam:

Tony what did you think of the mini the cost seams a little high for what there. I was think of offering $2300.
I think the other is they have just cut out some of the hard parts

http://www.runawaycampers.com/ looks like a copy of a runaway camper. not a tear by shape, and most like this don't have a galley. for a basic camping pod they are ok.

Seems pretty sketchy to me.... Description and picture does not do much to make me want to lay out that kind of money for something with a lot of unknown qualities about it....

IF it were me, I would not go near it unless there was a lot more details ...

First of all, if you are planning on using a tiny camp trailer for two people, don't consider one with one door. I think if you shop around, you can pick up a used teardrop for about the same price. I sold my Hunter teardrop trailer for $2600 and it had a working galley, internal storage (and or course) two doors. Look at the used teardrops on this forum and the Tearjerkers forum. They are out there.

Going used might be the best way. When I build will have time to do it right .
On the kit I though I have seen the same thing here before may be not

Definitely not. Whatever that is on eBay has nothing to do with the TrailTop parts that you've seen in a thread on this forum.
