My attempt at a TTD

[Brandy]

This is the start of my tiny TD

[Lgboro]

Looks like a really good start. What size is your tear?

[Brandy]

Goodmorning, The size has turned out at 6ft 2in x 4ft and 4ft high. I'm making up the plan as i go along and trying to keep it as cheap as I can. I decided on the square back to give me a bit more room for the little galley that is going in.The trailer was a wreck I got for next to nothing but had a good frame.Been at it now off and on for 3 weeks.

Looks cool, I bet you could put in some nice shelving with that flat back wall.

This is a small table that slides into place on a old aluminium hinge off the bottom of a door. The sort that stops draughs coming in. The paint is only an undercoat. Will get the ply for the roof next week. Also got a free window but have to replace the glass, think I will put in tinted perspex. The local tyre guy is looking out for some 2nd hand mags to dress it up.

I think you can safely say it is more than just an attempt, looks like you are well on your way.

A bit more done in the last few days.Part of the roof. rear hatch, and a free window in place, also cut some perspect that came out of an old golf buggy windscreen for the window. Another freeby.

You are coming along nicely. I'm a fan of that profile as I am using it for my build too.

Love it! You're inspiring me as I am about to embark on building a 4'x6' hybrid teardrop/canned ham trailer too! You are the only other person I've come across that wants a teardrop this small. Thanks for sharing.

Not the only one... We are actually planning a 5x10 is over the winter. However I am thinking before we tackle that one I may build a 3.5 ish by 6 ish for solo fishing trips to pull behind the air-cooled vw since I recently acquired a very small freebie trailer. I figure its win win, I get a solo tear and likely will learn from some mistakes made on that one so that the bigger one goes smoother.

Thanks for the coments guys, This little trailer is going to be minimal as far as electrics go.Lights are push button battery opperated
LED 's, $ 2.00 in the local store,No battery banks. Only shore power a lead to a 4 point Power board. Cant see the need for all the in built electrics if your going camping. Little gas stove,camp fire and the one you love ,what more do you want and that.
