Let's talk Teardrop Trailers

I built it my self and kinda modeled after a moby 1. It's a 5x8 on a 2x2 x 3/16 frame wit a 3500lb axle

 

That's a pretty neat idea! Looks to be the perfect size for your dog as well.

 

thanks, it has worked out well and the dog really likes to go to it to sleep, knowing we won't be rolling over on top of him

here are a couple more pics I found of the mounting of it from inside:

 

Added my Maxxair Fan and Roof Rack/Load Bars

 

I like your tear! Love that you added a basement, having that extra storage is so helpful.

 

Thanks James, I actually took some ideas off yours and another build and combined them.

I wanted the basement for backpacking gear. That just seemed like a good place to store it

 

Just finished our 20th night in the trailer

From the mountains of WA to the mountains of CA, still looking at about 10 more nights on the road.

 

Great life, isn't it?

Such a nice way to travel. It's about time for another wander...........

 

I really wanted a small rear kitchen teardrop but my lady required a "potty" inside. So we settled on this.

 

It has been a great trip so far. Kids are loving it and wife and I are having lots of fun. Definitely a great way to go.

 

We've got one of the PETT folding ones and the wife likes it

 

We use WAG bags and a quick set up shower tent.

Works great, and no black water tank to empty.

 

Currently enjoying thunder and lightning at Eagle Lake CA.



Almost at our 30th night in the trailer Day 15 of this trip, still got a week to go.

 

Just got back from just over 2500 miles on the road in just shy of 3 weeks. Saw about a dozen teardrops total, only a couple behind Tacomas. Got a picture from a friend on our last day as we headed to the ferry.



The kids (2 and 6) did amazing. We were able to keep our average driving day to a max of four hours, though two or three hours was more common. No major issues with the trailer, but it's definitely going to evolve a bit before out next trip. The more we use it the more it gets refined.

 

Dyi trailer

 

I am gonn hook mine up to the Tacoma for the first time tomorrow to get it ready for a trip to Red river New Mexico on the 29th. I'll get a poser pic if I don't forget

 

Hooked it up to adjust the ride height for the tacoma

 

Picked up our new teardrop a couple weeks ago. Took it out once already and taking it out again this weekend. I’m in love!

 

Looks good! When and where was your maiden voyage? I feel like I saw you on our big trip. We went south through OR on I5 to Eugene, then cut up into the mountains to Odell Lake, then Collier State Park, then out of the state through Klamath Falls. Our return trip was through New Pine Creek, up to Fort Rock, then Bend, then Hood River before cruising over to Portland and out of the state.

 

We didn’t go too far from home. Just out to the Tillamook Forest for some dispersed camping. It doesn’t sound like we would have crossed paths but you never know!
