DIY Teardrop Camper

theteardropdiaries.tumblr.com

I just became a member and was going through some of the stories. Very excited to become part of this community.

Matt Nolan, 24 years old. Richmond VA

I have been building a home made teardrop camper the last few months. July 1st I will be departing on a few month journey to the National Parks across the USA. If anyone is interested in my adventure please check out

or if anyone has built a trailer of their own or have questions please feel free to contact me.

This trailer has turned into a lot more than just me "building the trailer" it has became a window for adventure. I am very excited to start my journey. Thanks for hearing about my adventure..

Cheers!!

  • As a wood worker myself I'm impressed with the job you are doing. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the completed build.

    Your trip plan looks like a great adventure. My only concern would be with trying to sleep in the teardrop with the high temps and humidities in the southern states in July. Hopefully you are planning to install fans for some good cross ventilation.

    Good luck and I'm certain you effort will be rewarding.

  • Very cool site and awesome looking teardrop! I wish I had that ability, but if I were to get near a project like that it would spontaneously combust! ;-)
