Ideas, Plans, Parts and Info on Tear Drops

My wife and I and our youngest DD and both DGKs were in Redding for Thanksgiving and we stopped by Grant's shop to learn about his kits and plans. The DGKs want to build one and Grant seemed our best bet for a builder and close to the SIL in Redding.

Well let me tell you, Grant Whipp is one nice guy. We were there about two hours, long enough for the DW and DD to get bored but, the DGKs and I had a ball talking to him and looking at his work. I mentioned the possibility of using an old StarCraft for the Tear Drop's chassis and he gave me lots and lots of great information.

Anyone interested in tear drops and needing help or info should call him. Grant Whipp

He also has a facebook page or two and is currently videoing his girlfriend as she builds her very own Li'l Bear. He also contributes to the "e" magazine, Cool Tears and tiny campers(www.cooltears.com).
  • We have a large (it is all relative) 6X10 grasshopper design teardrop. I would recommend that you join the Teardrop & Tiny Travel Trailer forum http://www.tnttt.com/ and Tearjerkers http://www.tearjerkers.net/ Come to a Tearjerkers gathering and see what folks have built. Teardrop trailers go from very simple 4X8 sheet plywood to very beautiful elaborate woodies.
