Hello from Columbus Ohio, USA

Postby DasBaldGuy » Wed Sep 02, 2009 10:18 pm

This is my first post and wanted to say Hi everyone. I have looked around the forum a few times and seen several photos.

I am planning on locating a trailer in the next few weeks and then beginning my build sometime this winter. I've built many things but never a teardrop (or camper of any kind).

I look forward to sharing my build thread once I get started.

Rock on...

North, Polaris area....where do you usually take your trailer? We plan to hit Deercreek and Indian Lake a lot once it is finished.

All over! We have been up to Canada and down to Florida a few times. Next summer we hope to go out west.

In Ohio we like the Hocking Hills area. We spent the past 3 nights there. It was great weather and great hiking.

We also spend a lot of time camping in Michigan.

Found a small boat trailer on Craigslist...I'll be picking it up Saturday (October 17, 2009) and will thus officially begin my build. I will have a build thread...I plan to build an uber-light.

I'll be bringing the trailer home in the bed of this:
