Well yet another newbie....From the Southern Calif. area known as La Quinta, CA....South East of L.A. abouth 120 miles.....I to was going to buy until I ran across this wealth of information for building....I'm slowly gathering info and plan to start building this winter when the weather cools down enough to work out in it.. My plan is to build the first Tear from the "Weekender" Plans offered by Mike Schneider......Get ready for a bunch of dump questions....

Welcome to the forum!

You'll find many examples of quality teardrop builds in the Hall of Fame, Design Library and the personal albums of other forum tear builders. Sdtripper2's index also has a wealth of information on all facets of tear building. You will probably benefit from studying the Generic Benroy Plans link above as it is a general guide of how build a tear. I have been amazed at how many tears built very differently will yield the desired result - a quality tear.

Hope your build goes good and you are able to start soon.

The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

Welcome to the forum. Map quest says you are only 87 miles from my place, which is about 10 miles north of Temecula. There is a fellow in Hemet that has built a great off-road teardrop, and you might want to log onto his build site......If you Google "the Out Back Teardrop", it should get you there. If you are in my area sometime, swing on by Wildomar and we can chat about teardrop construction and guzzle coffee.
