I'm not so sure about my builder. Overbudget, a planned 3-4 month build took 21 months, there were countless recalls and upgrades (still going on), and he's always suggesting new items. A pest. Unfortunately I am he. I actually enjoy the building, modifying, and tinkering as much as the camping...but, I've done much more of the former than the latter. But, back to your subject: if I had chosen to buy instead of build, there are several mfgs represented here, with advocates for each...if you want customization, service after the sale, and such, I'd buy from the one (with recommendations from other buyers, of course) closest to your locale. Be sure to visit the build site, if you can; a shop in good working order tells a lot about build quality (I just condemned my build with this statement!).S. Heisley wrote:Yep! I would buy from the same manufacturer. The manufacturer was me; so, I know exactly what I've got!
If you can do it yourself and do a halfway decent job, you'll know how it was done and how to fix it if it ever needs fixing.
Plus, you can get most of what you think you want!

I bought them all used, so no contact with the factory's as far as warranty or follow up. I would buy another. A good pre-purchase inspection is a must when buying a used trailer. Hope this helps!

Work space, skill set, patience, and disabilities preclude me from a DIY rig. Well that and I want it to look like a decent TD instead of a dust bowl era camper made with beer cans duc tape and bailin' wire. And gang I realize this site is mostly a DIY crew, that's why this post was made in the "Teardrop Manufacturers" section...or was I thinking wrong again?
(I can see this smilie is going to be one of my favorites.)
