Teardrop Trailer

I Built it Myself

Several years ago I built my own teardrop camping trailer. Not from a kit, but from scratch. More accurately, I reverse-engineered it from a commercially made version.

Teardrop trailer hitched up for the first time.

Mostly Commodity Parts

I bought as many components as possible from big-box home centers and hardware stores, seeking to build something great out of commodity-grade parts. Ultimately, however, some parts came from specialty vendors, including trailer supply companies, fine lumber suppliers, and specialty marine outlets.

It has been a reliable camping solution and remains a proud possession. Hope you enjoy the build gallery. See you at the campsite!
