The teardrops and the T@B trailers are pretty neat — small, cozy, and easy!

I couldn’t go as small as a teardrop but mine is not much bigger!

Rick. We would love to see pictures of the teardrop you are building. The forum is a great place to get information, the teardroppers on there are very helpful.

Rick, thanks for posting that site. At first glance, it looks pretty good. with over 7000 users, I’m sure there’s plenty of info to sort through. I’ll look into it a little more to see how others have done theirs.

Hah! We’re actually building one now.

Got the plans from http://www.mikenchell.com/forums/

There’s a lot to be said for compact travel and some of the Teardrops are amazingly detailed.

Great post, and thanks for the link to Misty Tosh’s blog. It will take me a few hours to read all the stuff that caught my eye there.

The real paydirt is in that column of links on the left hand side of her blog—scroll down to Food/Adventure Articles. First one up is “How To Get Off-Grid in a Vintage Travel Trailer.”

Kinda makes you want to hunt down an old trailer, slap on some solar panels, make the rig comfy and hit the road to Baja…….

I LOVE the old canned ham trailers! Glorious photos you’ve posted. I especially like the Gypsy one in France. Although I think the teardrops are extremely cute I don’t think I could squeeze myself through one of those little doors and feel too comfortable closed inside.

Thanks for all the great photos! Now if I can only get my husband to finish playing around with all those pallets maybe we can start a new project like one of these!

Extreme downsizing at it’s best. I’ve seen pictures of these teardrops recently. They’re cute, but with my height (6′5″), it wouldn’t be too practical. I’m sure if it was custom built, it would be made to accomodate someone such as myself. It’s something to look into more later on. It would be great for (young) kids to play in and around.

Thanks for the info,
