Welcome, Loyd! :P



on my 2nd tear trying to make right what i did wrong on the first one...


I can't tell if you're joking... Hahahaha....

Anyhoo... just in case you're serious, don't go too much farther until you figure this one out or you're bound to repeat the mistakes...

:lol:


Ask yourself a few questions, then write down the answers, or, the solutions to any problem or issues you might have had.

Did you build too heavy?

Did you have water leaks?

Did you have too much trailer tongue weight?



Here's a thread that may help you to build an even better teardrop this time around!

If you were to build it all over again...

:thumbsup:
