where did you get that door i need one

On eBay. They are the same doors that come on Little Guy teardrops. In fact, you can also buy them from Little Guy, but they cost more.

I now have a working hatch. No pictures right now, because it is late.

I am a couple coats of paint away from being campable.

If he weather in the evenings continues as it is now, I think I'll be camping soon.

Nice build....clean, well thought out. You obviously have given some thought to what you want and how to make it all fit in tidy. For one not wanting to do the building thing, you do it well! Please come clean up my shop....please! Doug

Thanks, Doug. My build is sort of the opposite of yours. Where you build these works of art on wheels, I'm basically going for a hard-sided tent on wheels.

If I had the cabinetmaker skills that you and some of the others on the forum have, I would probably still do a simple build, but it would be better built (with way fewer "oops" moments).

If I'm ever in your area, and your fridge is full, I can probably give you a hand with that shop cleaning.

Well, with this nice weather of the last week, Dog got a lot done.

I need some fenders to go out on the highways, but Caseycraft 2 is basically campable.

I got the galley hatch done. It's not hi-tech, but it works.




I got some paint on, and put the vent covers in place with black screws.




And, I found the black screws with grommets that I really wanted to use as accents on the roof skin and hatch -- plus they ad some strength to the connection between materials.

Congratulations, CaseyDog!

I'm glad you're not totally done. I would be having withdrawals from the dogspeak....Can't wait to see the pass-through completed! I love the canvas wall idea.

[Mary K]

Awesome!!!

Is it time for a Dance?? Maybe a little one...

Glenn,

Your new teardrop looks great. I am sure many will desire to emulate your ability to build a nice looking, no nonsense trailer.

And... it only took 15 pages into the build thread to be campable, very good.

My build is very simple. I've been watching your build thread from time to time. Yours is a much tougher build.

As for the prop rods, I did not plan for them to be as they are. Things just lined up that way. I was originally planning to use gas struts, but this is cheaper, and should do the job just fine.
