Teardrop Camper

[dogrange]

You are the man! In my dreams I would be able to do this. My wife wants a T@G, but we have been put off by the $$$$$ price tag.

a random question: why the pass through from the galley area to the living area?

this thread has me seriously wanting to build one.

Thats the escape hatch. Or a slot for the air conditioning... haven't decided haha

Another D2R2 in the books with the microcamper providing 3 fun nights of lodging. This years upgrades included 2 solar panels for the roof, which charge the deep cycle marine battery. this powers the exhaust fan in the roof which pulls a huge draft through the small space and keeps it cool in even the hottest weather. mine is still a work in progress that still needs some interior and exterior work, but 100% functional. Love this thing!

While I've been slammed with school/work and racing. Bob has been hard at camper building

Sweet! You're camper has outclassed that trailer by a factor of 10!

[rwsaunders]

Tell Bob that for the pimp factor alone, he's got to match the trailer wheels with whatever you're going to pull the trailer with and that the aluminum skin looks just awesome.

One of these days I'll get around to doing the drawer/storage/sleeping platform for the back of my UZJ100. This is offering ample inspiration...

[AngryScientist]

dually, your project is an inspiration in "how to do it right". Nice work, looking great!

While I was down in South Dakota racing in the rain, the hatch magically attached itself!

The final provisions for the tail lights are being made today, so It will be fully road worthy very soon! I did take it around the block with my Outback; pulls nicely! Only a handful of things left to do that includes:
Mounting fenders
Hatch struts
Hatch latches
Paint frame
Mount spare tire assembly
Stabilizing jacks

The end is near!


Also, an additional perk is that Bob was/is a graphic artist for the last 30+yrs. This means a pretty sweet graphic made into cut vinyl for the sides will most likely be happening!

Bob will be taking orders...

Thoughts on the logo?

Back story; We had a dog for 13 years named Tuffy. He was a Springer spaniel and he and my dad were pretty attached. Great dog with an irreplaceable personality.

Loved the logo even before the backstory, which makes it even better.

I agree with an earlier poster that this is the thread of the year. Well done and thank you for sharing.

Been looking for this style of camper for years and definitely some nice things out there, but you have got em all beat. Well done, that thing is fantastic.
