Yeah; April was a year. But the trailer went back to the factory for 2 months for retrofittig and repairs ---- so those two months didn't count...

Oh, that's right...a reset adjustment in timetable. Trailer looks great and you are getting great use out of it. Congrats!

BTW, there's usually a few comments about the music I pick for my slideshows....
I grew up in a house full of music.
Dad, a cop and Korean War AF vet, also blew sax in a swing band.
Aunt Betty was a professional Dixieland Jazz musician.
Uncle Herm taught brass and woodwinds in Hackensack HS.
Mom's dad (both adopted and biological as it turns out) played and sang.
So my tastes were influenced and colored; I listen to a wide variety of offbeat stuff.
"Home on the Range" is a standard; we all know it here in the States.
"Mull of Kintyre" has been one of my favorite all-time songs since I first heard Wings perform it in the late 70s. I like Andy Stewart's version for the more authentic-sounding Scottish flair.
Here's Sir Paul though. He wrote it (with Denny, I think), and he used PIPES in the Wings version:
And Trevor Jones' version of Dougie MacLean's (another nod to Scotland) "The Gael" ---- a song that has to be heard live with fiddles and PIPES to be appreciated...

That is the coolest looking Little Guy teardrop ever. Nice that the video shows how much you use it and how many different places you've seen. Makes me jealous for more time to enjoy our trailer.....
A custom job is time consuming and throws off the normal building process a manufacturer is used to, glad it's all better now, building a teardrop for ourselves had its share of mistake and remedies.....and it's stilll a bumpy road with a few remedies yet to go, but at least the trailer is capable and campable now.
Glad you're getting a lot of use out of it and enjoying it and the ability it affords to get out where you want to go.Hilldweller said:

There are still things on my to-do list, Jim ----- I'm sure that list will never end. Something is different, no matter how small, on every trip.
I'd really like to have an air-conditioned shop to work in so I could tweak it during the summer. It's usually over 100 degrees in my garage though.
My biggest gripe at the moment is the wasted space under the bed. I've got compartments but it's too much of a hassle to move the mattress enough to access them on the fly. I'd like to modify the covers and split the mattress in two; then install struts and hinges...
