Seems like things are easy to forget sometimes. Does this happen to be the Toyota forum you like?

Hah! You found me, Yes guilty as charged. I use the same user name on most of the forums that I subscribe to.

I guess since you found me the teardrop forum is Teardrops & Tiny Travel Trailers if any one is interested that is an extremely knowledgeable group of people, they will give you good advice, help you troubleshoot, and more than likely tell from experience that something may not work and why it failed for theme, and they love pic's the more the better. If you are going to build, buy, restore, or convert a small trailer this is the place to start.

We are doing some exploring and camping this weekend. If the teardrop is close you should join us. If not at least post some pics of the teardrop. Would be cool to see it.

Nothing worse than a talker during a movie. I love the Slowskys commercial where the turtles are in the movie theater. Hey, we have a real talker over here!!

Wow great looking teardrop!!! Fit's just right behind the Tugger. You built it yourself? Did you have plans or just went for it? What are your plans for painting?

Thanks, yeah I built it myself using plans available on the Teardrop & Tiny Travel Trailer website called the Generic Benroy, it has a sleeping/storage area in the front and a galley under a hatch in the back.

Paint? not strong enough, I used white Herculiner, although others have painted theirs with good results, I was thinking of some of the places and brushy back roads I travel on occasion
