I'm new from East Bay Ca

[janetjean]

I've got the H.F. trailer together, a 5' wide floor and the walls up (except for the back extension as i wan't it 10" wide at the widest point which is the middle) and some framing across. Been exciting, challenging and I can't wait to figure out how the rest goes together! Now I've got to learn how to use this fabulous resource here at tnttt. Want to post pics but will have to spend some time figuring that out. Thanks to everyone so far for all the help. I've never even seen a teardrop in person and now I'm building one!

Welcome to the Teardrop Madness!

Hi, I'm in Fremont and Reddiver is in Hayward. Steve's home-built would be a better example to look at than my 1948 classic.

Feel free to contact me if you'd like to get together.

Thanks Chas! I appreciate it! Am trying to figure out the hatch build and the skining (worried about breakage).
Mostly the heat has kept me from building. Melting!

Welcome to the forums,

and may I suggest you start a thread in the Tiny Travel Trailer Designs / Build Journals area. Post picture as you go.
Post pictures of problem that arise in your build. It appears more people like looking at pictures like me.


Hane fun and keep plugging away at your build.

Hi East Bay!!

Newbie Dave here in San Ramon.

we should get together with the locals and maybe do Pizza in Nile Station at Bronco Billys??

Love their Pizza.

We could saddle up our Teardrops and do a quick meet and great??

What do you think??

Who else is from the East Bay??

I am here lets get a beer somewhere and swap sea stories.

I'm not much into dragging my trailer around town, but you all are welcome to come by to look at it, after it's uncovered.

My house is being painted, so the trailer is under tarps at the moment, but it should be unwrapped by the end of next week. Which is when my latest batch of beer ought to be ready

I like the pizza at Bronco Billy's also and would not be adverse to meeting there sometime.

That sounds good . I dont know that I would take my trailer but I will have pictures.. I am going to the Unionville gathering Sept 21 to 24 or something like that... Which Bronco Billys are you talking about.Hayward or Union City

[janetjean]

Great to hear from you all! I would love to meet up for pizza.....I am trying to get the trailer done enuf to get it licensed with DMV and be on the road and away on vacation starting the 16th of this month. Fingers crossed. It's a little embarrassing to post pics (with all the talented people building these amazing trailers) while mine is made from as much found wood (closet doors comprise the kitchen counter and it's support). And my lack of skills (altho I am a handyperson by trade, this trailer is a whole new and different thing; curves, curves curves!) And the pics are too big so I had to sign up with photobucket, I would rather be able to post right in the message. Will eventually figure out how to resize so I can do that. Today is a day of making the hatch (the first one) hahaha. will take more pics today to post but have this one from a month or more ago.

How about the Bronco Billys in Niles? Maybe this coming Saturday??

I can bring my TD down it is only 20 minutes away?

Who else is in the bay area??

Do we need to do a meet & greet thread??

Sunday I am sure will be football central.

I'm booked every Saturday through the end of October

Sorry

Sundays are better for me because I don't "do football"
