    That little beast sucks 16 amp-hours. You'd have to have a large 12-v battery bank to keep it cranking. T

    Suggestions for onboard water system?

    Mine's a bit simpler. That's a seven-gallon jug. For showers, we use this weedsprayer. Simple is good. T

    Tongue Box Ideas for 1/4 Ton Military Trailers

    An advantage of the poly boxes like the one above is that they don't get chipped up. I've got plans for the propane bottle. T

    When was the last time you had a blowout on your rig? I run 6 ply LT radial tires on my teardrops and they don't pop. T

    Modify or Build from Scratch? How do you like this idea?

    Maybe somebody's mentioned this but if you put that axle in the middle and load an ATV, that trailer could easily become unstable and put you and it in the ditch. And that would be bad. T

    Cellulose Panels

    Forty years ago, house framing was sheathed with cellulose blackboard. The corners were done with plywood and this stuff –made from corn stalks– was placed everywhere else. The stuff had no strength. I suspect this new cellulose sheeting is also made from corn stalks. I see its primary use is...

    Teardrop Camper Layout Design

    If it looks like it might be nasty, we put up this awning to cook and eat under. But if it's extra-nasty, it's nap time, book time, or maybe even time to find better weather somewhere else. T

    Teardrop Camper Layout Design

    I've been teardropping since 2004 and am missing the usefulness and purpose of the third door. It certainly eats up the galley area and storage inside the cabin. Take a look at my profile and note the shelves. They hold all sorts of stuff. Tony

    Teardrop Camper Layout Design

    How high is the bottom of the door? With a classic teardrop, you sit in the doorway in the same spot you sit on the edge of your bed. The average bed is about 25" high. My doorway is at about 23" and it's comfortable to get in and out of. Something to consider. T

    That's a five-wide. It houses a queen-sized bed. Here's Vistabule's solution to sitting in a teardrop: T

    roof rack aerodynamics

    Not trying to be a wise-ass, but stick your palm out the window at sixty. That's drag and it eats gas. There's a point with a camp-rig, you just have to swallow and pay for a few more gallons of gas. And have fun. T

    Trailer Help

    I tried Googling what a bruder was... and finally figured out you are attempting something along the lines of a Bruder camp trailer. Putting the water behind the axle will work until it's used up. When you mention, "...if I want to change axel position and still keep the handling I want" Are...
