Snellville newbie

Hi ya folks!
My wife and I have been using a tent for our camping trips these past 3 years. This past 4th of July weekend we were up at Lake Lanier (Old Federal campground), and were just miserable in the tent. She rolled over to me and said "I think we should get a pop-up trailer with A/C!" My mind immediate jumped to a memory of a teardrop camper that was in the 2012 Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog. Now, there's no way I can afford a $150,000 camper, but the idea of having something similar appealed to me. I googled teardrop camper and got all kinds of of images. One image jumped out at me and that was the Giget Trailer from a company in Australia. I especially liked the footwell and folding bed that make a nice little couch to watch TV on. Why can't I build something like that? I found TNTTT and noticed a slew of camper designs that I can work with! The camper I want to build should be on a 5' wide frame (extra space inside), a galley out back, 30amp service, and lightweight.
Hope to learn a lot here!

Welcome Zimbar, where the heck is Snellville? Good luck with your TD build, there are lots of seasoned veteran builders here to help, just ask questions!

Yes, you will get lots of help here!
Do you homework first before you jump in and make mistakes (cost yourself money)....ask lots of questions.
You seem to be on the right track.
But, Where are you located????
Good Roads

Welcome to the forum from Savannah, GA. I assume you are located in Snellville, GA maybe, just outside of Atlanta. There is a gentleman located in Canton (GA) that builds custom TD's that you might get some ideas from. Lots of ideas from builders on this site as well. Good luck on your build and look into the Dixie Chapter on the Tearjerkers forum. They are gathering at Cloudlands Canyon State Park later this year.
