:SH Pulled an all nighter last night we started by leveling the side walls and ripping the 2x3s to build the frame then cut the 32wx35 7/8h out for each door then insulated with 3/4 pink board will put up photos as soon as posiable

Get some rest and post pics when you can. What are you building a tear or cargo?

Hi Cliff if you like you can reach me at 770-296-4863 as for my trailer It's a 4x8 Bob Special Modified Teardrop that actually turned out to be 49" wide weekend before last I went up to Dalton Georgia to visit some Very good friends and they help to cut and weld up my trailer from a 6.6x10 pop-up trailer frame down to a workable size. Being a registered Trailer I had to keep the front and side rails with the data plates attached to the trailer not having a camera I wasn't able to take pictures of all this but I asked my Nephew if he could take some with his camera phone and e-mail them to me. I slept most of the day away yesterday but plan on going back over to my Nephews and start doing the wiring and inside paneling, God I hate that I've got to paint that pretty wood ceiling white but it will help to minimize the watt size and utilizing 12volt as a main supply in the cabin area and only 1 110volt recpticle with all the rest of the 110 in the galley area with the 12-110 volt refrigerator up top and the sink being under it on the lower counter with the water tank beneath and the 3 burner stove to the right on the counter and uder that is going to be pots n pans storage. As for house batteries I'm thinking of relocating the propane bottle into a tongue box with the batteries and the main breaker box will be in the galley cabinet I just wish I could find a wiring diagram it sure would help make things go smoother, any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry Bob but I'll give you a call this weekend when I'm back in town. I'll be working on my cabinets for mine and hoping to get them installed this saturday. Electrially I've bought a Elixir 25amp converter and will have a battery in a box on the front of the tongue and will run all my wires thru the roof. I've got a 12volt fantastic vent fan and a 12volt lights for inside the tear. I will have 5 outlets 2 inside the cabin, 2 inside the galley above the ctop and one for the tentside of the tear for outdoor lights. I will also have 1 12volt outlet in the galley for hooking up cell phones and such when only on battery. I've got a good buddy from church who is going to do the wiring for me as I'm clueless when it comes to electicity lol.

I've done all nighters on 2 teardrops (my own and a friends). I love it! I do get tired but it is fun if you're with friends.

I've worked on the trailer five hours Monday night I tried to get my nephew to go to bed at 10:00 pm but as long as I was working he was going to stay right with me. That young man is a Blessing and has the same work ethics as I do any body needs custom cabinets or furniture you should see his work He's diffidently a anal Craftsman excuse me I meant to say he's a Perfectionist. So I got home Monday night around 12:30 or is that Tuesday morning :? so I went down stairs to build my door frames and I was almost done framing the last one when I got a 2" braid through my left trigger finger so I called it a night at 3:45 am. Tuesday night after work I went back over my nephews and we finished putting in the nailing strips then cut and mounted the outside frame of the galley hatch and installed the locking mechanism a most of the spars when I realized it was after 10:15 so I unplugged all the power tools and turned out the lights ,I think he got the settle hint it was time for him to go to bed 05:00 comes mighty early especially when you don't get enough sleep. I tried to post some pictures but I couldn't get them to work it'll take some one more computer wise then I. God Bless you and yours.
