Hi everyone,
My name is Joost, 33 and living in The Netherlands. In this post I'll share the building process of my woody teardrop.
So two years ago I simply got addicted to TNTTT and spent my nights reading all the wonderful build journals, construction tips and design ideas. During the Christmas holiday I decided to take on building my own woody teardrop. With a rough sketch in mind I bought a second hand trailer and built my woody frame from plywood. After that it took a few weekends to add cabinets, fit the door and window, wire the electrics (12v/240v), paint, etc. It was a great adventure where every small job turned out both easier than expected and more complicated than expected. Luckily wood is very forgiving ;-)
My girlfriend and I took our Woody camping to Maastricht for a weekend and, when that turned out great, even took Woody for a three-week holiday to France. A 3000km trip and it came back in one piece. I'll confess that the waterproofing wasn't perfect, but apart from that it was a wonderful way to camp. And it even made the Dutch national newspaper Trouw: https://www.trouw.nl/es-b1762a52
With my first son on the way I'm thinking of building a slightly larger one in the future. I'm very thankful for all the inspiration and tips shared on TNTTT, it's a pleasure to be contributing my own experience. I'll add the build pics below, about 40 in total.
Thanks,
Joost
