Newbie from Texas

Howdy yall!
My husband and I are avid campers--usually sleep in our SUV, but have decided that we would really love to have a small trailer that we could have constantly loaded with all our gear. Plus a perfect tool for those quick hurricane evacs.

This forum has given us some great ideas, and tons of useful information.
We just started building this weekend, and are having a blast! :lol:

Image to the playground beachbuggy. Pictures look great. Walls up are wonderfullllllllllll huh. :D

Now to post the pictures. Just click on the thumbnail picture in the album. Rick click on the url address thingy. Now come back to the post and click on the Img box, Right click and paste, now close tags or click on Img again.

I do this in a separate window so I don't get lost in the back and forth thing. :thumbsup:

Great start. Welcome to the madness.
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.

Yay - more Element peops in Teardrop Land.

Welcome aboard!

With "Git 'r done" as your modus operandi, you'll be top-tier in build time.

Looking forward to camp pics!

Welcome Beachbuggy

Don't know exactly where you are in Texas but several of us are getting together this weekend at Matagorda Nature Park. Come on by and camp with us or just come to get ideas. Check us out in the South Central section.
Enjoy your build.

Hey thanks for uploading the pic!
We are located just outside of Glaveston.
We are using the Generic Benroy plans and making just little changes to the galley.
We are working feverishly on it for no other reason but that we are just too "into it" to stop! :R

I can't wait to make it to meet to see other teardrops. I have never seen a teardrop up close...only on TV. I have to go to Rockport this weekend, so no meet or TD work :cry:
more pics added to the album

If your going to Rockport you should stop by Matagorda RV park on the way. There will be a few of us there for you to look at them and get some ideas.
