Calling for 10 year and longer members

[godskid]

I think I joined in 2009? Maybe? Several different teardrops later, I’ve retired and I’m now selling my 2017 ~325lb motorcycle pullable tiny teardrop 4x8’. I pulled it with a MINI Cooper. Holler if you’re interested!

* I thought this thread was long gone, but I passed the ten-year point seven months back, on 10-4-2021. I'm still using my first and only squareback trailer (not a true conventional teardrop, but a heck of a lot closer to one than all the conversions, vardos, etc. that appear here regularly). Whatever floats your boat

* My trailer is not ever finished, even though I've said "no more modifications" many times. I just added something after my last trip. I visit here everyday, though most of my camping friends may not, anymore. But, at 10 years of experience here, I'm still considered a relative beginner (to them).

5ish years lurking. 6 months building. 5 years camping and improving....

* Does lurking count? Then, I spent 5 years lurking on Expedition Portal, where I found out about TnTTT, where I lurked maybe two years more (meanwhile drawing up various plans) before starting actual work on the trailer, three days before I joined the forum

* Perhaps I should say 17+ years ???? 7 years lurking & dreaming of camping trailers, 1.9 years from starting the build to camping in it, and 8.6 years actually camping/modifying (rinse/repeat cycles) in the trailer.

Trying to stay alive to make 20 years. Sold the teardrop long ago and passed my trailer on to my nephew two years ago. Now I am a geriatric lurker but still moving on my own, most of the time.

If lurking counts, then I think I am at the 10 year mark! I officially joined the forum in Jan of 2014, got my trailer in the spring of 2015, and built most of it 2015-16. I keep adding new mods, so it is never really finished. It has Propex heat now, a LiFePO4 battery, and a Raspberry Pi micro-computer to monitor the battery and charging over cellular.



I enjoyed reading about trailers like the ROAM that gave me inspiration for my build, making relationships with folks and getting good advice during my own build process, and helping others here and there when I can.

I'm sure it has been at least ten years for me!

12+ years - April 2004 for this forum. Have been on other teardrop forums since 2000.

Still pop into this one and occasionally post. Life & teardrops keep us busy!

have had 9 years here so far, and on the second teardrop (w-927 posts total here so far) = 1 to go for 10 years - but yes, my now '5 year old' 'Pacemaker' is still working and still checking this forum daily ...........

Getting close to the 10 year mark. Just built the one with my wife, at the time.
Its still used for occasional trips to see the grandchildren, Not much in camping.
Too many allergies now to deal with. I also enjoy following the forum daily.
