thanks for posting this, I would have missed it. I bought this today for the next tear project. Now I have some planning to do...

here was the info in case the ad was pulled:

Was going to build a teardrop camper but circumstances have forced me to stop. So I have a brand new custom built trailer with a 2500 lbs torsion axle, rear stabilizers, chain, rear hitch, custom rims and tires. 61.5" (5ft, 1.5in) outside bracket to outside bracket, 74.5" hub to hub, 120" long (10 ft). Never used, it's only been moved twice, once from the welder to the house and once from the old house to the to new one. $800.00 obo. 7.8.5.-2.2.4.-7.4.3.7.

Here are the original costs (have all receipts available):
Axle: $378.50 (w/tax and shipping)
Steel: $224.69
Coupler, A-frame, 5k: $60.41
Professional welding: $482.34
Wheels and Tires: Can't find the receipt!! (paid $220.00)

I will throw in custom plans for a teardrop camper if you would like them. These plans were purchased from http://www.steve-frederick.com/shopman05.html so you can see where I was going with this. This is the "bible" of teardrop camper building. The size of this frame will accommodate a queen bed. But of course you could also use this trailer to haul your toys or yard equipment.

Glad I could help someone out find a good frame for a teardrop. I'm taking my frame to get sandblasted and primed tomorrow.
