You built too fast--didn't get to spend time enjoying all the frustrating parts. have fun camping. :applause:
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Thanks guys and gals! Still a lot of little this and that to do. But that will come after camping in her and knowing what I need to add. Like where to stow the spare tire. Or do I need another shelf inside. Things like that.

Spare tire? Do you guys really carry a spare? I can't remember the last time I had a flat on anything. My new Miata didn't even come with a spare tire. Just a kit with a pump. With that idea I bought a tire plug kit and 12V air pump in case I need it. Hopefully I won't regret that decision but after riding a motorcycle for years without a spare I'm not worried.

:thumbsup: Well I found a place for my spare tire. I bought a square U-bolt and hung the spare under the front of the trailer from the tongue. I don't know why I did not think of that sooner it was the easiest fix...I also bought a 7" LCD screen TV and a portable DVD player to keep the family happy at night and on rainy days....My wife and 10 year old daughter went camping with me and my wife just loved our new little camper. So we call or youngest daughter fidget ( kids 25, 22, and OOPS 10 not really she was the only planed one) and because the tear is small and the Fidget is small she gave it the nickname fidgetear. So I guess that is my tears name "The FidgeTear"

Hi every one we are going on a week long camping excursion in the Figetear. Starting at Knoebles amusement park and camp grounds in Pa. then off to Gettysburg campgrounds in Gettysburg, pa. and last to Albright WV. and home. Maybe I can get some camping pics and post them when we get home.
