I've recently found this great forum and I'm enjoying reading the large amount of information and encouragement from forum members.
I had been looking at larger, heavier travel trailers but that would require trading my PT Cruiser for a larger tow vehicle. Also I have a nice collection of camping equipment.
A teardrop camper seems like an excellent, economical solution.
I've ordered the TY-DEAN Customs plans and read thru fishfinders build thread to see how he built his.
I hope to begin my build in November and be ready for camping in Spring 2011.
