Default Teardrop Trailer

At a meet i broke my dumptruck steering, that killed my dragline operation, and all my trailer pulling. I really wanted to practice backing trailers into the docks.

Of my cars, the VW bus is most likely to pull a trailer, so it's gotta be really light. Maybe a baby Utility trailer, motorcycle hauler, or a Teardrop camper.

Little quick math, a xerox to get scaled patterns, and off to the garage.

Some scrap luan that i've saved for "something" for years


Some 1/8" brass. I ran out.


Quick mock up


Better make interior cabinets


Grab the VW, i want to see how it looks


Curb side entry, street side window, kitchen aft.

Lots of detailing potenital here, it's gonna be a fun build...
