hi, been lookin at the site. love the foamies. I really like the look of the 2+2 td. kind of drawing up a plan for that with some vistabule td in it with a trolly top.
my wife and I live in Olympia, wa. we are retired. I fish, tie flys, rebuild fishing rods and we have a 1997 harly heritage.
don't drink much beer, more wine and alittle hard stuff.
well that's it for now so will get back to some readin about all this stuff. oh, I also build SoF kayaks.
thanks all

Whichever design you choose to buy or build.......you are just going to love the freedom you will have when you start Teardrop Camping.
It is a whole new world with some Wonderful People.
Look forward to meeting you somewhere in the PNW!

yeah, we sold our 30' motor home about 2 yrs ago. wow, that was expensive at 7 mpg. this would be a better deal.
building one is not a problem for me but right now I have 2 kayaks to get done. one for a customer and the other for my wife. I only build baidarkas which are from the aluits in Alaska.
later

Welcome! The skills needed to build a boat are very similar for our trailers- it's all a great retirement hobby. I am a fan of Jim Michalak's boats- The 10ft long plywood mini-shanty I built was inspired by his designs.
