Really amazing build. Curious about a couple things: 1. Are the sides aluminum that you then painted? (Stainless steel?) 2. Did you use a bolt-together trailer? If yes, would love to know what kind and how it’s holding up.
Hi, we made our own plans by starting with the dimensions of a queen mattress and my cooler then built out the plans from there. We mapped out the template for the sides and galley cabinetry on thin plywood which was really helpful and useful throughout the build.
We started with the Irontron 5x8 steel frame kit from Northern Tool and upgraded the suspension system and wheels. We went with the Timbren axle-less suspension system, so the clearance is nice and high.
Thanks, Jim! I bought the doors from Vintage Technologies, but I later learned I could have bought them straight from the manufacturer challengerdoor.com and had more options.
Beautiful build. I have just started and not looking forward to the Galley door. If it comes out anywhere near as good as this one I will be cheering. Thanks for posting and happy camping!
Thanks! Good luck with your build. The only big mistake we made on this build was with the shape of the galley door and having it curve at the bottom like it does. I think the shape looks good, but I'd highly recommend straightening the curve at the bottom of the door like Timberleaf Trailers does theirs. That would have saved us so many hours and a lot of headaches. Best of luck with yours!
Hi Jorge, we didn’t use any design plans. We just took the dimensions for a queen size mattress and the dimensions for my cooler and then figured out the rest of it from there.

Felicitaciones Megan, un lindo trabajo y aprenden de tu papa!!! mucha suerte con ese Teardrop!!!
I have been researching teardrop trailer designs. Yours has to be 9 out of 10, top.
What size is the trailer? Did you start with a pre-made trailer or fabricate it from scratch?

Great job, beautiful trailer.
Great music. Quality build. Enjoyed the experience. Mood lighting enchanting.
Great! What is the name of the T extrusion you used on the galley lid to form the seal? Or where did you get it?
Hi Neil, I got that trim from Vintage Technologies. It's product number HT14.
Excellent job! Very nice design! Can you write approximate dimensions,only height,widht and lenght of the shell without a trailer? Thank's
Thanks, Sasa! The shell is 53 inches high, 66 inches wide, and 105 inches long.
Really great job guys, can i ask did you purchase the side doors as a complete kit and if so where from ?
Thanks, Jim! I bought the doors from Vintage Technologies, but I later learned I could have bought them straight from the manufacturer challengerdoor.com and had more options.
This had to be quite the experience working with your dad to build this!!
