what made you deside the height of your teardrop

[Ron Dickey]

My wife said can you stand in it .... maybe she is only 4 foot 10 in.

Mike, when is a TTT no longer a TTT?

The width of the wood is was what made me decide the height.

Ditto that.

My sides will be 10' 6" long x 68" high which will go down below the frame to cover the sunken floor and under-the-frame storage compartments....kind of like channeling a hot rod. I'm having a galley inside in the front so in order to be somewhat comfortable using it that's the height I ended up with. I've done a lot of mocking up with different seating and countertop arrangements and I'm comfortable with the design I've got.

I figure there are ways to make the large sides similar to what Steve F is doing with Mike's Lil Diner by glassing sheets together. It won't be considered a teardrop but it will suit me no matter what it's called.

One of these days I'll have to post my plans but they're just pencil drawn on graph paper.

Width of the wood. I just stopped where the panel ended.

Couldn't find my plywood stretcher. Traditional 48" for the look.

I wanted to make mine taller, but like everyone else, couldn't find plywood wider that 4'.

I made mine 56 inches tall. This height was chosen to allow the tear to fit into my garage and to allow for a removable upper bunk for my daughter. I routed / lapped the plywood together using gorilla glue. Worked out great!

I went with 54" tall to get my scooter inside. Then I built the back end so I couln't get the scooter inside... I decided mid-stream the scooter idea would get too complicated... and by complicated, I mean when camping... when traveling, each night I'd have to take the scoot out just to go to bed, plus I'd have to take the windshield off to get it in.....

If I had known in the beginning, I would have gone with 48" sides, made it look better, more retro......
