Do you have any photos of the layout inside? |

| I've seen so many Teardrop campers on the net that I can't even remember them all but never anything so beautiful. I hope to someday have the honor of camping next to your great work. Magnificent!!!!!! |

Juneaudave I have a bone to pick with you! 
You see, late on Tuesday evening, after looking at your gorgeous teardrop trailer, I started browsing your web pages and then moved on to the T&TTT forum, and then onto the galleries. I lost a good hour and a half, maybe two, of sleep due to your little trailer. If I was going to stay up that late, I should have been getting the kayak ready for spring. Instead, there I was staring in awe and interest at the computer screen. Wednesday I was tired all day at work (a busy day too yet), and today I'm only just recovered.
After all that research though, yours was by far the nicest camper that I saw.
Cheers,
Bryan

That's an interesting and friendly group over at the Teardrop site...you can spend hours there. I'm really looking forward to getting loaded up in the morning for the weekend. I spent so much time on the trailer, I neglected the boats this winter and had to hussle the past couple weeks getting scratches filled in and new coats of varnish on. I'm all set now thought for some paddling and fishing!!!

| I agree! I spent way too long looking at those trailers. I was already figuring out the design for what I'd like to build when I finally came to my senses. I remembered that I have neither the time or money to finish my canoe right now, much less start an even larger and more expensive project. I was wanting to build a teardrop trailer where the top popped straight up to a full stand up cabin. I didn't see any like that, but there's always got to be a first, if somebody hasn't already built one like that. I also agree that yours is the nicest one I saw. If you decide to raffle it off, I'll buy a ticket! |

Your Teardrop is fantastic! I have been been thinking of making some sort of box to put on top of our pop up to carry fishing and boating gear. Probably canoe shaped with a hinged side for access.
Nice job on the camper. |
