TEARDROP
TRAILER PLANS
A Step-by-Step Guide for the
Home Craftsman

No welding required! A complete set of
teardrop trailer plans that guide you from start to finish on
building a teardrop of your own.
The 8' Cubby is our second installment of our Classic
Camping Trailer Series, and brings the sport up to a new
level.

Did someone say "details?"
100 pages. 200 full-color photos, drawings
and illustrations. Materials lists down to the last
bolt. These are the most detailed teardrop trailer plans in
the world, and they hit the table with a
"thud."
Our plans explain the mysteries that usually vex
rookie teardrop builders, such as "how do you prevent
leaks?", and "how do you bend the aluminum trim around
corners?" These operations are broken down into easy
steps for you. |

 |
Quality
These aren't plans for a stripped-down,
production-type teardrop. We're talking top-shelf, heirloom
quality construction that will retain its value and last for
years. Options are given for the faint-of-heart or the
behind-of-schedule for regular drawer joints, but if you have a long
winter and a heated shop, we'll show you how to make the best! |
|
|
Artwork
Detail after detail has gone into our artwork:
full-color measured drawings and exploded views, cross-sections and
callouts. This type of artwork is incredibly labor-intensive
and expensive to produce, but when you want the best, it's well
worth it. |

|
Shop Drawings
Besides the pages of text and photos, we supply 16
pages of full-color measured shop drawings, fully cross-referenced
in the text. Details are explained where necessary to enable
you to save time and money. |
|
|
Step-by-Step
Our plans guide you through every operation;
assembling the chassis, forming the body, insulating the cabin,
applying the aluminum skin, constructing interior cabinets, wiring
diagrams, water system, and building a complete galley with
propane stove. We even show you how to build your own icebox
from scratch. Our plans will help you no matter which model of
teardrop you're building |

 |
Materials Lists
People unfamiliar with our plans
sometimes ask us "Do you give a list of materials needed to
build the trailer?" Ha! We give page after page of
materials lists. Of course, you also have to know where to find the
stuff, and so we list the sources for all the parts, and include
mail-order suppliers for the specialty items. |

Bonus Sections
Included are bonus sections like Uncle
Kevin's Cheapskate Sharpening Tips, Uncle Kevin's
Guide to Installing Flooring Perfectly On the First Try, Foolproof
Cabinet Doors, and of course, Uncle Kevin's Guide to
Hand-Cutting Dovetails. We give tips on working with
aluminum, and are pleased to announce the return of Squirrelly
the Wonder Cat, who gives directions on how to back up a
trailer.
