My name is Jake, and my wife and I are looking into building a teardop camper. I would like to begin construction over the summer, assuming we get settled into the house we are in the process of buying. We already have a 4x8 utility trailer. It is built on the heavy side, but free is a heck of a good price
We are gathering intel now to create a plan. I`m leaning towards basing the design off the generic Benroy plans here, but modifying a few things. We have done some tent camping together, and I have years of camping experience from the Boy Scouts. We are planning on a basic build with no water, 110 volt power, ect. Just enough for us and the dog to get away for a few days without having a bunch of stuff to set up and tear down(a major hassle when changing location every couple days). We also enjoy kayaking, so this may allow us to get out on some different rivers and lakes than we`re used to.
I have some woodworking experience, more metalworking experience, and a little general construction experience. I know vehicles inside and out. I don`t foresee having any major problems building the teardrop if we do our research ahead of time and don`t rush it.
Thanks for having us!
-Jake
