Hi, teardroppers!
I found this site a year ago and have been observing (sounds better than "lurking") ever since. I've gathered a bunch of info from you guys, and tons of photos from the Hall of Fame builds. I (and my wife, of course) have decided to finally build a teardrop this summer!
I'm located in Centre County in the middle of PA. I found a vendor for all kinds of plywood, including some flexible stuff only 20 miles from home. It's called Industrial Plywood, Inc. (industrialplywood.com) with locations in Lewistown and Reading, PA. I haven't been there yet, but I plan to check them out ASAP.
I plan to use a 5' wide Red Trailers unit to build on. Four feet seems just too small! PLan B is to use a four foot wide trailer (cheaper), and build out over the wheels, but then I have to build taller to get the mattress above the wheel wells, making a higher center of gravity on a narrower track.
Any thoughts on this?
I will no doubt be asking questions as I go along, and I know that you folks will give good answers!
And, yes I will post pics of the build as I go!
