Overnight Touring with a GT40

[Hershal Byrd]

Thanks Rob.
Dave, Teardrops have been around a long time. The first one was built in 1937. There are several versions available. Most of the ones you see are built from plans. I
also have one that I'm building for possible productuin.
Mine was built by Quicksilver but I'm sorry I can't recommend them. Too long of a story. If you must know send me an e mail.
My trailer has a hookup for campsites with electrics and I do carry a Honda 2000i. I only take a cooler and a small cook stove that is a portable propane unit. The A/C is located in the lower rear. It has vents in the back to expell the hot air from the condenser.

Dave,

As Hersh said, the classic "teardrop" trailer has been around a long time and still have quite a "following" of loyal users. The originals had a "lift up boot" in the back that held a small "kitchen" with camp stove, cooler and cubbies for utensils/plates etc.. the sleeping areas are just big enough (but would be cramped on a standard unit for anyone over about 6'1" or 6'2" - - ). Original, restored units in the US can be quite expensive, but I've seen older/used ones very reasonable and could be refurbished very cheaply.

Hersh - - any preliminary pic's of what you're fabing up?

Dave,
I have a mock up model but that's as far as I can take it. I will need an expert in fiberglass mold making to go further.
Here is another company that makes a good looking teardrop.

If you are a camper then these are really the best and cheapest way to do it. Sure beats a tent. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
If you just want one for cargo then that can be done too. It will carry a bunch.
