I've watched a lot of these builds and I have to say your build is one of the best home built tear drops I have seen. You have a passion my man. Keep living the dream! Happy Wandering!
I honestly love watching people share their builds from start to finish. Not only can I learn, but i also just enjoy watching you create something from nothing. I must be getting to that age now where I want to start getting more into building things. I did a fit out in the back of my 4wd without any clue to what I was doing, and although it's not perfect it works and it was so much fun to problem solve on the go. My recent project is shaping surfboards from stsrt to finish. It really gives you an appreciation for people who master their skills and produce perfect finished products. I surf so just being able to surf my boards at the end is a huge reward for the time. Keep posting and sharing. Bloody awesome and thank you.
There is something very special about creating something from nothing. We live sharing our story and our main mission is to encourage others to do the same. Do you have any videos of you shaping boards? I’m sure people led would love to witness it, including myself!
I love how Paige is jumping in a really contributing to this great build, using the Kreig pocket hole jig, glue plywood stiffeners, etc, not just holding stuff.
This video made me realize if I ever MADE a teardrop camper myself it would like much much much worse. Very nice job it is quality looking and I bet people would pay good money for one of their own.
Thank you! Let us know if we can help. We do have plans available on our website if your interested in cutting out the long planning phase! Or we can customize some plans for you as well. Either way, check out all the DIY teardrop communities on Facebook. They can be super helpful! Thanks for watching!
One hell of a good looking teardrop you have there. You should both be very proud of that ! I love the quality touches like the aluminum skin on top. When you're paying its hard to swallow the cost of an Airstream but I suppose when you're doing it yourself its easier to afford some of the better materials. Excellent work !
incredible you started in a garage and now you have a tremendous company you are an example for me because that is my dream thank you for inspiring me to make it possible...
I absolutely loved watching this video. Makes me want to build my own so badly but I'm disabled and I don't see it happening. I was thinking about getting a little fixer upper to try to do myself, but I would love something light for me to tow myself. I hate asking for help. I want to do everything myself, but I do not think I can build this myself. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy one so I can hit the open open rode. I've learned that life is too short, and too much I haven't seen. I want to get out there. Thank you for the inspiration. It's the perfect size.
Thank you! These little campers are life changing. You have everything you need to go anywhere, and you are correct - there is so much to see and do! Let me know how I can help you get into one!
I like the small campers I just like the fact you hav to go outside to cook or whatever it can be cold out raining or snowing who wants to stand outside to cook and all that they should make it so that the outside kitchen can come inside make it rotate so now you can cook in its nice and cozy
Your trailer is a more superior than any I have seen yet. She is absolutely amazing 👏 👌I really hope you all have many many more holidays inside your awesome wee glamping van. l👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹
Those ???? Over the rear hatch was more like a thousand cuss words when I built mine. I built this same plan and had it since 2015 and still going strong! Wish I would have made a video like this. Fun to look back
Fantastic ,thanks for sharing . I'm looking at making a tear drop camper for my honda goldwing motorcycle ,this has given me the incentive to start Many thanks Dave from Scotland near St Andrews
Amazing! It’s a very fulfilling achievement. We sell these plans on our website wandertears.com. It weights about 1200 lbs so I fear it may be too heavy.
Amongst so many videos and books - this build is the most descriptive and inspiring build. Will be my reference video when I start my build next month! Would be really helpful if you could include a list of tools used in the build in the description
I appreciate the kind words. We do have plans for this specific model. Slightly different (simpler) build method but all the tools, materials and cut lists are included. Check them out on the website wandertears.com/diy-plans. We have had many people get it done in less than 4 months. No experience needed.
You did a really nice job and there’s no question you’re very good at it. A little humor please take it as that. Man wears black shorts blue shirt, female in every new shot or new component added has a different outfit on, LOL.
Nice work! You are a carpenter it's plain to see. I've been kicking around the idea to build small trailers. I've been a carpenter for over 40 years and at 63 years old now I am semi-retired but I'm thinking of building some small campers for resale. Just was wondering how many hours you had into that project and the cost of materials. Thanks
