Jerry on Whidbey Island, WA

New guy here! I have had travel trailers, and did my share of sleeping on the ground as a young man, but now that I am wiser - I think - and know what I like and dislike, it is time for me to build my dream TD.

My avatar shows the wooden boat that I built five years ago using the "stitch and glue" method. It is a 14 foot wherry, and weights just 98 pounds. It is a stronger boat than I imagined. I will use that technology when building the TD. The reason is that I want that "woody" look of mahogany and ash, and it is lightweight. The design will follow the Cabin Car style of 1947. As I go along, I will photograph and start my construction pages to keep those interested in how I am progressing.

I want to thank all of you who have contributed so much technical detail that has encouraged me to start this project. What a resource!

All right...another cabin car! :twisted: Welcome!

This pic is from last weekend...camped alongside my brother and his cabin car. Looking forward to your build.

No doubt you've seen Rob's cabin car, right?

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...
