He's got a hasp on the latch.

We keep a fitted sheet on our queen-sized mattress. It's an easy strip and replacement with the two of us working from both sides. I'm wondering how you will do it with a rear door or just one door? Maybe this shouldn't be a consideration, but it's a thought. Tony

Teardrops (or squardrops like yours) need lots of ventilation. People put out a lot of moisture. Without good ventilation and no insulation, you'll get a lot of condensation on the interior walls. Hang on, we'll get to insulation in a bit. You can eliminate most of the condensation problems...

I went with this tongue design. In the end, I didn't add the cross pieces for the tongue box. The vertical receiver is for a future over-tongue-box bike rack. Tony

I assume that works out with the materials you're planning on using? You mentioned panels. Will you make those or are they commercial? Tony

I'm in the middle of Idaho –western U.S.– in the Rocky Mountains. We usually camp above 6,000' and get about 12" (30 CM) of moisture annually and most of that is in the winter. When we need shade or it looks like a thunderstorm, we'll set up our awning. It's quick and easy. I know folks...

There is something to be said about a traditional teardrop galley. Food, water, beer, stove.... And the Propex heater behind the cooler. Just saying, ; ) Tony

Yes. He's fastidious and quite mechanical. T

"Weep drain holes Top and Bottom of Window for Placement on either side of trailer" Have you considered sealing the drain holes on the tops? T

Agreed. There isn't any 1/4" black pipe in this one-hardware town. My propane installer friend said I wouldn't have a problem with this short of run.

Nope. No quick connect.

Ooops. "My bad." Here's my gorgeous little Propex heater. (With 180º heat coming into the cabin, it is truly gorgeous when its cold.) The 1/4" pipe goes down and has an elbow that faces forward underneath and of course, the hose is hooked to it. The hole is sealed with polyurethane sealant...

Having been a horse owner and living where there are lots of horses used for both work and pleasure, I'm sure there is. Folks really value their animals. We have a horse sale here (Salmon Select) that is a big deal with lots of $20,000 horses being sold. T

Not rubber propane lines. T

For the record, I scrapped the black pipe plan after consulting with a friend that installs propane stuff for a living. I would have had lots of joints with black pipe. I went with rubber propane line for the Propex heater and rubber automotive propane line for the Partner stove. After...

3/4" Baltic birch ply. T

I'd be curious. And I assume the crash test is something you guys are volunteering to do and not mandatory? I assume you have a significant other so think about this in reference to two doors. Pretend your bed--in your home--is boxed in so that only one side is exposed and mentally watch the...

That's over my pay grade. ; ) Make sure you proceed with this build and take lots of photos. I wanna see this thing born. Why only one door? My wife would do an eye roll --both for convenience and also for bedmaking --which is a lot easier when both of us are working from each side. T

Here's a quick video of how things fit together. The bulkheads and headboard cross members fit in 7/8" dados in the walls which add considerable strength to the cabin. Note the ledge on the walls. The headliner is pre-finished on the bench, set in place and then the spars are installed on...

When you have had time to read it through, I'd appreciate an honest review. Thanks, Tony
