A “built” thread. In no particular order.

Ive been pretty into teardrop trailers for maybe 15 years now. Ive been following the TNTTT page for almost as long. Finally got to the point in my life where I felt I was ready to move from an RTT to a camper And when shopping around for campers realized that most all of the campers either didn’t have the features I wanted, were far to expensive, or I could just do it better myself. once my daughter showed up in our life I realized that I was going to be spending a lot more time around the house and could use a project. So two years worth of naps later I’ve got something that I think I can finally show off.
some of the things that I wanted out of my camper were:
- not a lot of mini camping things like thin mattress, water jugs, cute little stoves and cooking equipment. If I’m dragging a trailer I want to be able to store my big cast iron, sleep on a balling memory foam mattress, and have enough water to take a shower after a dirt bike race.
- ability to have my daughter sleep inside comfortably
- window on all four sides
- not having a porch light blasting me in the face
- off road and off grid capable. LIVE comfortably in remote locations
- some architectural/artistic coolness as seen in vestibule teardrops, and airstreams
- pass through window between galley and cabin
- enough power storage, solar, lights, outlets and ports to be able to add a reading light, fridge, or hot water heater if I wanted.
so it’s not completely done but here’s some more pictures:
