Thanks for the nice comments. It was fun to build. This weekend was the 2nd outing, so far it's been down 100 miles of rough dirt roads and about the same of pavement with no issues and no leaks. The queen bed is great, the solar works perfect and the galley holds plenty. I am really glad I used a full jeep suspension on it, if I had used trailer springs I think it would take a pounding off road. Cheers and thanks again, Dave

Howdy again, Here are a couple of more pictures. I live down in Mancos, Colorado. This was a no plans teardrop built from the ground up in 7 weekends. I made it for off road jeeping and never to leak. It is solar powered and 1/2 of the power is 120v run off an inverter the other 1/2 is 12v off the batterys, 2-18L6 Dekas', the is a 10 gallon water tank and a 2 1/2 gallon electric water heater. A 4 burner propane stove with oven from a early 60's ham can. Cheers, Dave
