Hey Tom I'm a newbie in New Orleans area looking to start a build and was wondering where did you get your aluminum P S love your design. Nice job

[Tommy2tone_1999]

Thanks Dog Pound. I sent you a message of 2 places in the Baton Rouge area that I found aluminum. Come by the Louisiana Chapter of Tearjerkers and join us

This is cool! I got called for an interview about my teardrop http://tinyyellowteardrop.blogspot.com/2015/04/tommy-dorans-mobile-fit-club-teardrop.html

Can you please provide the source for these 'flanged washers'.
I've wondered for years how you keep the top of a carriage bolt from spinning out and now I know !
I searched on flanged washers and could not find them on ebay, so I'm wondering if they go by another name?
Thanks for posting your build.

Using these fanged washers to allow me to tighten the carriage bolts that secure the floor to the trailer frame.

Anti-turn washers.

I've also seen them as "prong washers."

Be sure to set them in place first with a hammer and a wooden dowel.

Fanged, not flanged AKA Torque washers
They are a lot cheaper here than at Lowes.

It occurred to me that I have never posted a pic of the completed interior.

It looks very comfortable and the cabinets look great!

Thanks Sharon. It was definitely a challenge to budget sleeping space and the ice chest in the galley. It's definitely a Teardrop for shorter campers
