Reminds me of the 1950 Kampmaster that was at the Dam Gathering. This trailer had canvas sides and rear entry so that you could have an interior galley and walk thru to the sleeping space.

If you can stand up in it , its not a Teardrop. It would be a Tiny Travel Trailer.Just to clarify. Have fun!! :applause: :applause:

Sorry about the all caps...

i wonder where can i get big card board to do a mock up...

i thought teardrop based on the shape of the profile which this one is shaped like a tear only thing is the back hatch opens further back having a small space to stand... oh well maybe its just a ttt&t....

its general profile is like the wild goose just set up with an outside kitchen...

of the two versions i like the one with the table and two seats but i would make the seats over the tires giving me extra space and utilizing it for something....

Nobody's gonna whoop ya for it. Heck we might just all pile inside for a tasty beverage or something when this is over

Most materials will come in 4' widths. You can use 15# tar paper also. Just tape sections together for wider than 4'.

For my one and only build, I laid out a 4 x 8 plot on the garage floor with 1" wide blue painters tape. I was then able to go crazy with the front radius and rear swoop and door sizing and, and... as many times as necessary

How do you step out of the Standie?
