Saw one in Canada while ago looked cool but the assembly, after I researched it, was a bit much for me.

Build-your-own Teardrop Camper Kit and Plans

Seems a little expensive and time intensive, also a little overly complicated.
Also I don’t understand people who build a teardrop and then ruin the aerodynamics (which is the whole idea) by mounting a big rack or something to the top.

I think if I was gonna build my own teardrop I’d just follow the @Teardropper book.

unlike a boat which is operated in the wide open, i question how long all the resin fumes & dust take to begone. i think on a hot day would be akin to living in an aerosol can.

I also suggest you look at @Teardropper 's book.

Epoxy resin –unlike polyester resins– put out nearly zero fumes while curing and none after it has cured. Polyurethane varnishes don't put out any after they are cured.

I would not really call it living in this teardrop. Mainly just a place to sleep at night. I'd do my living outside, in the great outdoors if I had this camper.
