Well, I think I need to make me a teardrop camper. I think this is a well worth it at the end of it project. To buy a ready made teardrop camper you are looking between 5 - 11k and that is obviously to much money. With some good budgeting and some hours spent looking at free or reclaimed materials, I think I could get this well under $2000.

I love tutorials where you can look at the photo and go "ah, that's how to do it" ...
