CE. It can be done and it is not to hard. I built my floor then I built my walls on the work bench. Insulated so they are double skinned. Then after I fastened/glued them to the floor. If I needed to squeeze the top of the wall in more than about 3/8 inch I had to use pipe clamps. And that is without any cross bracing. I imagine you are thinking of skining the front up a few feet, that would add a lot. I would have not been at all afriad to have pulled my trailer with only the walls right down the interstate. Talk about tail fins. 8)

I agree Wolf. I've done enough carpentry that I know the wall joint I'll make will be stronger than the wood itself. I'm sure the tear would be rigid enough :hammer:

Appreciate all the thoughts, but I decided I need to stand up in the teardrop. Guess I'm back to designing a solid roof again. ;)
