Thanks Ray no its only 5 wide next one will be six so I can sleep cross wise. for cabs I have a fixed shelf in the rear for cloths etc. with a bench seat underneath that pulls out and to the floor for sleeping. the front has a small counter with sliding doors underneath to store cooler, porta potty, stove etc. Standing in the front is about 5' 6" I can just stand up straight in the front. I will post more pics of interior when the bench/seats are completed.

I love Teardrop's and I love vintage pop up campers. Now that's a great Idea. I can see one of those in my future. Fantastic job good luck with it.

very cool design. What kind of cloth did you use, and did you sew that window in yourself?
Looks great! :applause:
