Hi from Indiana!
I stumbled upon this site while looking for information on building a tiny camper. I have found a lot of useful information and inspiration.
I am just starting my tiny camper / teardrop build. I will try to post pictures of the journey in a separate build journal post. I'm sure I will ask a lot of questions as well. Just as a teaser I will say that my build started life as a 1973 coleman popup bought from my Aunt for $200.
I have no formal mechanical/building training but I am somewhat of a shade tree mechanic and have tackled some moderate home improvement projects so I feel like I am up for the challenge.
My wife and I enjoy camping, traveling, and hiking. Last year we made a trip through colorado, utah, idaho, montana / yellowstone, and back, all while sleeping/camping in the back of our honda pilot on a futon mattress. Needless to say, the tiny camper will be a huge improvement.
