Newbie looking for guidence. Upstate NY

Postby Campwow » Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:37 pm

Hi ya'll,
Newbie Heidi here. I find myself looking at and thinking about teardrops just about every day now for nearly a year! YIKES I'm obsessed! So it occured to me I NEED ONE! ...Time is a factor, and perhaps my skill set may be a factor but I'm not afraid to jump in, with guidence. So here I am, and this looks like it's the perfect place to be. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one out there that's nuts about teardrops! I really look foward to reading your posts and learning all I can.
Hopeful and in love with Teardrops :wine: :worship:

Heidi:

When I was at your stage, I stumbled upon Steve Fredrick's teardrop Shop Manual. It's 250 pages with lots of photos. I'm really glad I bought a copy. Take a peek here: http://www.campingclassics.com/shopman05.html It's well worth the $60.

And no, I've never met Steve. We exchanged a few emails when I was challenged with my first build a time or two.

We know Steve, have been at several rallies with him and his wife. Real nice people.
