David here. I finally made it to your site.I live in the central valley of California.Last year My wife and I went tent camping at The Grand Canyon...we thought, "there must be a better way". We have a tandem bicycle. So moving the bike, camp stove, ice chest and tent in and out of the bed of my pickup truck was too crazy.
we decided to look for a small trailer (maybe a Casita) to purchase. Way too much for my plans. And then I seen one! Holy smokes! A teardrop!!!! wow check that out! Wait! What? I can buy a kit? NO WAY?! I can build one from scratch.

Having had 25 plus years in the building material industry, I new about most of the "stuff" I would need to build one! not to mention home repairs and light construction with a few good friends.I have BASIC at best construction skills.
So for the last 6 months or so I've been cutting, planning ,measuring,bartering and some times hunting at my local junkyards for "Stuff". ( i like stuff). So... if you would like to, or need help. let me know.
Thanks GO_C_DAVE
