    Planning out a Teardrop

    Thanks, but more credit goes to my wife, Crow'sLark on this forum, she was the designer, planner, cabinet maker and painter. I merely helped screw a few things together. There is no bar set, we built what we wanted after we decided what we needed to accomplish the trips we have planned...

    Planning out a Teardrop

    What can I say? I've never read a thread where my name was mentioned more than in this one. Haven't decided if that's a good thing or bad. I will try to address some points or any questions that may come up. [COLOR=#000000] It is welded. And no they did not retemper after welding. While the...

    Electric cooler vs rv fridge

    This is what we use in our teardrop. It's a P5280353 by jim65wagon, on Flickr"]Norcold DE-0751[/URL] powered by (and can switch from one to the other automatically)AC or DC power. Like the Engels it is rated for operation to 30 degree angles, and draws very little power (It uses the Danfoss...

    Fiberglass Propane recertify test?

    Um, no they don't. And some of these guys wouldn't recognize an abused tank if it bit them in the behind. They should but some people are lazy and don't even give so much as a glance at the bottle as they are connecting their line. Heck, I've had one local guy (it's close to home and...

    Tow Vehicle Recommendations

    Currently we tow our teardrop (fully loaded with food, wine, gear and 40 gallons of water it tips the scales at 3500 lbs) with our 220,000 mile 2003 Tundra. The first gen Tundras are excellent trucks and ours has towed the trailer all over VA and WV paved roads, gravel forest roads and a few...

    Matthewp's MuTTT (Multiple Terrain Tactical Teardrop).

    If you're sipping reds they shouldn't be chilled anyways. Room temperature, or in this case, camp temperature delivers the most flavor. Trailer is shaping up real nice.

    Teardrop Trailer Build

    Absolutely agree. Tie the rear of the fender to the back framerail under the hatch. Not only will it act as a skid/slider it becomes a running board giving a valuable surface to sit on, do dishes on, stand on, etc. You'd be surprised how many ways you can use a running board.....

    FM82 Offroad Teardrop Build

    If I remember we ordered all of our insert trim in 6' lengths from Frank to keep shipping as low as possible. Great guy to deal with. Your trailer is looking good!

    Matthewp's MuTTT (Multiple Terrain Tactical Teardrop).

    I'd take the walls back down. Seal them with epoxy, then install them with sealant. That way you've got epoxy in all the open edges that water would want to wick into. Water has a wicked abilty to find the smallest opening and rot your wood to ruin.

    42,000 miles! You bought yourself a new truck! Awesome and congrats! It looks like it's already lifted, or have you done the Bilstein/OME already?

    FM82 Offroad Teardrop Build

    Nicely done! Egad that looks time consuming though! How many slices did you wind up making? and just how many spotwelds is that? You have patience! The curvature looks just right though, spot on!
