I'll be rolling on Monstaliner this week over fiberglassed plywood. I'll probably add something to my thread, "Teardrop #4". Gotta finish the doors first. T

It looks like you are sheathing your framing with 3/4" ply? What will you cover the plywood with? T

I'm sure your right but the info says that it turns on at 45º and shuts off at 65º. Heating that water 20º with 4.8 amps is going to take a long time. Using DC current for heat is a nasty drain on batteries. Your best bet is to insulate the heck out of it and let its mass hold the heat. You...

You're overthinking this. It isn't a problem. As I said, use your tongue jack. "I’m considering building a mini truss style roof with about 1/2 rise in the center of the roof to prevent ponding." What are you going to sheath with? How will your sheathing deal with that? T

That thing sucks 4.8 amps/hour. That's 115 amps per day. Not realistic unless you have another trailer to haul your battery bank in. T

The galley is coming along. T

You'll need a level and a deck of cards to shim your parked camper to get the water to pond. Just give the tongue jack a twist if it is level. T

Good grief. T

With my Avid –and the Kitfox has the same design– you swing the wing out, drop a 1/4" pin and lock it with a keeper. After the other wing is fixed, you pin the flaperons. Camlock the turtledecks on above the baggage and you're ready to pre-flight. Ten minutes at best. T

Did you get this with it? file:///Users/tonylatham/Downloads/Max%20Coupler%20Instructions,%207-25-17.pdf

Kinda outta sequence but here's the framing of the hatch: T

One of the things I like about a teardrop is once you hit camp. You're ready to camp. With that thing you'd have to make the damn bed. T

Dry fitting the hatch. Smooth as silk. Makes me wanna get the stove slider done. Coffee in the shop? T

Never any road rash. You can kinda see the trailer in this pic. T

Lotta experts here. That's good to know. :rolleyes: I built an Avid Flyer. As you know, it and the Kitfox are from the same DNA. Sold it several years ago. N716TL I hangared it at home with the wings folded in a metal garage. I built a trailer that was kind of a big T. I would winch from the...

Nor do I. And yes, gas struts and teardrop hatches float my boat. :geek: T

Here's the sexist video on this site. Eh? T

The roof is on. No biggee. Another fine corner to turn. I think I'll start the hatch after dinner. T

Sorry, Billiebob. It's been winter-stored with that cover for six years. No rot. No moisture. No scratches on the aluminum. From the manufacturer: "Adjustable front and rear tension panels and elasticized hem corners provide a custom fit, integrated air vent system combined with quick drying...

They do need to be properly stored. T
