We don't winter camp with our 'drop at least not here in Idaho. My days of snow camping are behind me. (Even though we have a Propex heater in our new camper.) But we do head south in late winter. Tony

We've been teardrop camping for nineteen seasons. 20 -35 nights a year. With a teardrop, you cook outside. You (generally) eat outside. They are a superb bed-on-wheels. If you like being outside and but really need a comfy bed, they are for you. I watch a member of the Jayco crowd once. It...

You can take a scrap of Baltic birch plywood, be it 1/8", 1/2" or 3/4" and throw it in a bucket of water for a week. Pull it out and let it dry for a week or two. It will be intact. Don't confuse Baltic birch plywood with "cabinet" grade birch. Tony

I have always bought my doors and windows from Vintage Technologies. Challenger Doors is another source you might look at. Tony

An 11 pounder gets us through about 25 nights. That's with a Propex heater and a Partner stove. Do you really need 20 pounds? Tony

It's fixed. Thanks again. Tony

Oooooops..... Thanks for pointing this out. I'll get it fixed today. Tony

I've had a fair amount of interest in DXF files instead of the SVG files I uploaded. I just did a test of a DXF file I converted over to make sure Inkscape didn't mess with the dimensions. Worked perfectly. The dados for the cross members are .72" in the design and when cut, they are still...

I've got (free) CNC files for this teardrop at the link below with a PDF of how to make the cuts. http://www.tonylatham.net/teardrop-cnc-files.html Tony

I'll add the CNC link to the book post too. Thanks, Tony

I've been working on CNC files based on last summer's build. Here's a great way to wear out a perfectly good pen while test driving a file: The files are limited to the skeleton pieces, exterior skins, hatch ends, galley lip, and roof blocking. Even though the profile is or a 126" long...
