I've been surfing the forum for days. I just bought this 1998 Teardrop American "Outbacker".
Only thing I see that needs repaired is the seal on back hatch and new door locks. Will also get new tires.

I'm going on a 4 week USA road trip this summer and this will work perfect for me.

To see what it looks like there is a thread here on this forum

I have orignial paperwork plus specs. I'm posting this as not much info can be found on the net about this teardrop.

Lenght overall 9 feet 4 inches
Width overall 7 feet 6 inches
Height overall 5 feet 6 inches
Roadable weight 400lbs (approx.)
Camper unit weight 225 lbs (approx.)
Tire size 12 X 480
Constructed of polyethylene.

Nice blog. I didn't see any of your teardrop. I am curious to see what you did with your pod.

[Miriam C.]

Thank you so much for coming back and sharing the pictures. Hope it was as wonderful a trip as it looks.

Hi

As I left work tonight in Twin Falls Idaho I looked and saw this trailer parked at the motel next to my work. Looked very familar. I check the license plate and from Washington. Had to be you. I got the motel clerk ring your room but you was out. Maybe we will meet face to face later.

Safe trip,

[Seattleldy]
