A lot of people asked about my teardrop at the TOBA tourney. I told alot of you I would post where to get plans.
I designed and built mine myself. I got a lot of info and ideas from this site.

That's one sweet trailer. Is there any possibility you could put a kayak rack on the camper?

I have racks that go on it. The wife didn't like picking them up on top.
The kayak trailer is much easier.

Now that is nice. I may just consider building one.

4X4Yak · Post by **4X4Yak** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 3:27 pm

whatwake: It took me a year.

Terry G.: Nice little camper

SY2: It's right behind the stove. The vent on the side is for the A/C. It is a 2000 btu doghouse A/C and heat unit called a Petcool. It works good and runs on a Honda 2000.

gerald: After seeing some of your boats. I know you could build one.

I was one of the ones that checked it out and was very impressed with both the design and the workmanship. Nice, nice, nice.

Can I have your comforter and sheets?
If not I would like some Sponge Bob underwear.

That is a neat setup. I only know how to build square things.

I saw your set-up at TOBA, man that is AWESOME! The only thing I would do different is "PUT MY NAME ON IT"

Coastal Country · Post by **Coastal Country** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 10:19 pm

I can see making something similar........but where do you get the dog A/C? MAN, you gotta, JUST GOTTA have A/C!!!!

That is very cool. I didn't know what a tear drop was until I read your post and looked at the link. Very impressive. I was thinking to myself, self, you could build that. Then I snapped back to reality. As Napoloen Dynamite said it best "You have skills"!

MikeSSS · Post by **MikeSSS** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 10:49 pm

That is fantastic and building it is a fantastic accomplishment.

Most excellent and well done, Sir.

We who can barely change the line on a reel salute you!

WOW.
