1. Work begins on teardrop trailers

Hi, welcome to our site. My name is Rodney and I live in the Texas Panhandle.

Over the past two weeks, a couple of friends and I have begun the construction of three "tear drop" camping trailers. All three trailers are being built simultaneously, one for each of us. I know little of welding or of trailer building, but my friend Ron has built a couple of boat trailers and a custom motorcycle before, so along with Ron's pop Joe, we have immersed ourselves into the project(s). These trailers are to be 10' long x 5' wide and each will contain a queen-size bed and an outdoor kitchenette. And not much more.

We are working from plans which exist mostly in Ron's head. These trailers are pretty much his design, but we are also finding useful info from the internet and plugging it in wherever it fits.

I'm mostly here because Ron and Joe are very generous with their knowledge and resources and also I think they are a little embarrassed about my lack of shop skills, and so have adopted me as a project as well.
