Profile For The Little Guy Available

Postby sandman » Thu Nov 30, 2006 8:19 am

Hey Guys,

One of my friends has decided to join in building a teardrop camper for himself. His favorite design is the Little Guy(new mass produced Little Guy). Does anybody have a profile available for download of the LG?

Don't know if he still has it, but Steve Wolverton's Cowper was a direct copy of the Little Guy's profile. He had a photo and used a projector to put it on a scale drawing.

Hey Guys,

I downloaded "The Cowper" from the vintage plans section for my buddy. I see the plans were done up by Steve Wolverton. Why do the plans say "Do Not Build a teardrop Based On These Plans" I really like that profile myself. Has anybody else built a Teardrop off these plans?

That's the liability thingy rearing it'e ugly head. Use today's technology and adapt accordingly.

Use the profile, and add a galley. You'll be happier for it.
