[mikeyb72]

Hello all, my name is Mike, i'm a newb from east central Illinois...
watched a show on the travel channel a few weeks ago about odd campers and they had a spot on there about tear drops and i thought to myself, i said self... i bet i could build one of those...i already have an old camper frame sittin out here in the back yard just waitin to be built on,

sooo i started lookin around on the internet about it and i found myself here, and i started lookin around the forum here and i said to myself again... i said self, this looks like a perty good place for info on our new little project...so here i am...lol...

Well self welcome you have for sure found the perfect spot for all the info you could want, once people find this forum it's hard to get away.

If you get a chance Mike you should visit a gathering to see a bunch of campers first hand and get a goo idea of what you'd like.
Check the midwest section at the bottom of the forum for upcoming gatherings. I know we have a big one coming up the last weekend of July in northern Indiana you're more than welcome to join us.

Welcome!!! You've come to the right place... this is the best place on the internet for plans, friends, help and campouts!

My best advice is to see one in person,... don't be shy ! and you'll fall in love with teardrop camping!

Hi Mike welcome to the forum! Where in the Land of Lincoln are you? I live in Clinton. I'm finishing build #1 a small pack mule with a galley, but I am working on designs for a TTT. Once the build bug bites, there is no antidote!!!

thanks for the warm welcome...i'm tryin to figure out just what to build, i have a frame to start with (pics soon), i just gots to figure out what to put on it...i'm kinda leanin twards a grasshopper style, but not 100% sure yet.

i'm into building custom bicycles (couple pics on the bike thread), so figurin out how to make something work comes kinda easy...which will help me in building my camper...

anyway, i live in a small town called Westville, just south of I 74 along RT 1...
