Best Tear Drop design

Postby res1109 » Sat Oct 20, 2012 10:13 pm

I am new to this forum and have been cruising through the Tear Drop world for about a year now. Last week, either on this site or another on I saw a design that several people were stating that it was the best design due to its space. That is all the information that I have, but was hoping some one could help me find it. It was a CAD or similar type drawing.

Thanks
Ricky

Hmm any other hints? Size or style? I would check build journals, members designs and cad secrets to start. Oh and newbies!

If you want the most space in a trailer of a certain size (let's say 8ft long by 4ft high) then profiles with full-length floors and vertical lower fronts and backs would be the 'best' choice. The Generic Benroy is a good example:

However the can be pretty 'dumpy' to look at and for other folk pretty is at least as important as spacious. I personally think the more rounded profiles are nicer to look at, such as the beautiful Modernistic/Cub:

The design that I think perfectly hits a balance between the two qualities is the Grumman:

But this is all very much a case of: "each to his own".
