Greetings from Virginia

[Albuoy]

Hello everyone,

I am 31 years old, and have a lot of time on my hands. I have been wanting to do some camping for a while, and I happened to see these teardrops on Pinterest. I started doing some research into them, and started to really like them. I have always been gifted with woodworking, and see this as a challenge to build my own. After lurking here for a while, I have definitely picked up some great ideas and thoughts going into this. I will be making a thread here before too long about the build from the ground up. Tear drops don't seem to be a big concept here in central Virginia, and hopefully with this build, I can get some heads turning and bring them this way. Also, would like to network through this site, ive learned some of the best friends I have made are from forums like this.

I can't wait to get this build started, and can't wait to share the progress with everyone.

welcome to this great site As for your build might I say plan your build and build your plan post lots of pics as you are building this is how we learn little tricks

Thanks!

What part of VA? Prince George County here.

I will definitely do a big build thread. I have lots of ideas that will separate this from a normal build from what I have seen. Including built in outdoor speakers on the side. Some may like it, some may hate it. Building for comfort and luxury away from home. I am working on getting my trailer now, the one I have may need quite a bit of work, so first plans with that are removing all wiring, sandblasting, repacking the bearings, and rewiring to my specifications.

Finally found a trailer that I can use, hopefully picking it up this weekend as long as the guy doesn't sell it. 6x10 a little bigger than I as going for, but the deal is just to good. Build thread will be coming soon, as long as I can pick this up. Stay Tuned

Thanks!, I plan on spending some time at First Landing after my build!

We have a gathering there every year in April. Come join us and become a Tearjerkers member, I have stickers. Last gathering we had over 18 trailers.

[Albuoy]

I will look forward to it. I am close to Pocahontas State Park if you know where that is.

Have camped there also.
