Teardrop trailer

[JayMilla]

Any one out there have a teardrop? I am looking at an old ghetto one this week some time. I have seen some really nice/heavily modded ones out there.


Post up some pics if you got one. School me on them if you know.

Offroad capable?

Thanks, Jason

try these, feel free to save them and post them up, I can't. It was built on a little military flatbed trailer.

jason, PM your e mail and i'll send you the spec's and picts on mine by the fella who built it. got it to pull behind my 62, paid 2500 for it. has a 3500# axle and 16 inch tires, same lug bolt pattern, insulation is very thick, he's out of miles city and built it for the cold, i'm pretty impressed with it. not as big or with the amenities as the one on the other post, similiar to steveVa's but smaller. if what your looking at is ghetto, consider the cost of getting it up to speed for what you want vs building your own. hope the pict came through???
there is also a brush guard rear bumper mounted with a water tank and battery mounted now not in this pict.

Thats more like it. I am looking for a little one, nice and low profile, easy to tow. I need to fit 2 adults and one child in it. Looking more for a sleeper only, not really interested in a full kitchen or a bath. Unless it is on the outside.

Thanks, Jason

I had been looking in the past for these as well and here are some of the web sites that I have found. You will find some pretty funky stuff at the first one and I think the 2nd will show some plans for a diy.
