Great place I found here,I never knew there was such a thing as a teardrop camper. I,ve worked construction all my life and traveled and i never seen one. Now that I have found this site and seen what you have done and what can be done,i,m hooked I'll be heading to Fargo harbour Freight soon. Anyone close to Vergas area? :thinking:
To many toys,but now I need a new one!!!

Welcome from a fellow Minnesotan! Buffalo is a little ways away from you, if your near Fargo. You should check out the Tearjerkers web site. The St Croix Chapter has some gatherings listed where you can come and see some Teardrops. We have a gathering coming up in Pine City the first weekend of June. There will be plenty of home built and manufactured trailers for you to see. Have a great day!

Well howdy, neighbor! Yep, Perham, just down the road. I'm far too new here to be of any useful assistance, but have plenty of enthusiasm, especially for others efforts. :D

Will be heading over your way in the near future, to check out the offerings at Franklin Fence. My cousin mentioned that I might find some shiplap siding there.

"Welcome to the madness" is the standard greeting here, I believe... :lol:

I have a motorhome that is monstrous in comparison to the teardrop.The wife and I don't get around as often as we would like as I work on the road mosat of the time and just want to stay home.But when the kids were little we would hit the campgrounds quite often and with the tear we can do it again in comfort this time :lol: perche,are you building?

There's quite a few of us from Minnesota. Definitely click on the Tearjerkers link up there ^^^ and scope out the gatherings. Minnesota is in the St. Croix Chapter.

Hope to see you soon !!

Building? Only a replacement fence at the moment. That to be followed by test materials birdhouses. And then the TTT, most likely a vardo, probably start earliest next year although I might fit in a trailer this year if I can get the garage cleaned out first. I guess I need more time than most to dream! :lol:

I expect you'll love the ease and simplicity of whatever you build in the teardrop mode. There's so much inspiration on this site, so indulge. :thumbsup:

ahhh yes the notorious hooterville watering hole"home of the shotski" lolol I dont get up there much. brought the teardrop home last week for cleanup and get it ready for the season, not much to it actually, low matinance, I love it. yuo can catch up with my occasionally wed nites at the cruise in in detroit lakes, blue and white 23 ford t bucket. I can relate to the family thing...welcome to the world of teardrops, it can lead into things like a coleman collection... good bunch of folks here. My shop is always open if you want to visit or see my teardrop or other ongoing projects...welcome aboard!
