Neat little self build tear drop camper kit (wooden)

 

[toddy]

that looks very very nice
may have a go at making one some time....

 

[the snooper]

£1060 for all the wooden parts, nothing else but as they are in the usa the shipping would probably double it

 

[octo0072000]

it's not cheap but as it comes as a kit all wooden parts the rest you provide should be a quick build up time
no idea on shipping

Correct..it seems that when you place the order they send you a PDF with the detailed build plans

 

[the snooper]

never saw that, went through the bit with pricing on it

 

[the snooper]

Correct..it seems that when you place the order they send you a PDF with the detailed build plans

seems like they did plan to sell plans only but cant see a purchase option for it.

What if I want to build from scratch? What are the plans like?

Plans comprise full-sized patterns for every part in the Teardrop Camper. You'll be able to spread the patterns out on your plywood sheets, transfer the shapes, and cut them out with a sabersaw.

How much will plans cost?

We'll have an introductory price of $149 for the full-sized patterns and an extremely detailed step-by-step instruction manual.

Can I download the plans?

Not yet. We might develop a downloadable version of the plans in the future, but for now we'll be mailing tubes with full-sized patterns.

Not a bad price for full size plans though
and build manual

no not too bad, wonder why they're not selling them

 

[octo0072000]

might have to email them for cost of delivery or just no one has asked yet kits only on sale from sept 2016

While they make very good boat designs. This teardrop is not anything like the idea. It may look a bit like the concept,but misses it by a couple of miles.

 

[Robotstar5]

I bet @langy has already built one to go with his cars

 

[reb78]

That is a smart little thing

Like the fiber glass tape and stick an seal metholody like a mirror dinghy...easy but would stick to a more traditional tear drop shape. This was in my plan but suffered the roundtooit disease, then her in doors sold her trike as she didnt use it as it was too heavy for her to steer with her back issues.

As for chesapeake bay fabulous place, very picturesque.
