OT: Build your own Teardrop!

Originally posted by GlueGuy We always like looking at teardrops when we see one on the road, or in a campground. I think they fill a need, especially if you have a small car and/or limited budget. So it's fun to look at, but never a real consideration. I think if I was fresh out of school (or college), and wanted to travel a bit, something like this would be very appealing.

Just so you know, many if not most of the factory built teardrops cost as much or usually more than, a Pod. T@B is probably the most popular, they start, real world, off the lot purchase price, very close to $18K..

Looks nice. Looks like a lot of work too!  We thought about a little teardrop while we were tent camping.  I'm sure it's the perfect solution for some people, but I never could accept the idea of something that small.  I'm like Furpod; more space and a full bathroom, plus all the other RPod amenities!

I still think they're cute and there would be times I'd use it, but I know it would just never happen.

They are really nice looking.  

Looks beautiful, I love the look of wood BUT, I don't like the thought of refinishing down the line OR the smallness inside, get a bit of claustrophobia.  But that is me.  When we built our house in 1980 we finished it with cedar board and batten; looked great.  But over time it was time to put the Olympic n cedar natural tone on it and after a couple decades of that the boards began to lose "the look."  After 25 years I put vinyl siding on (with a wood look of course) and really like the low maintenance of it.  Great read though, thanks for posting/sharing.
