Description

Hit the road in style and comfort you built yourself...The road trip has been a celebrated American tradition for as long as there have been roads on which to travel. Combined with our love of the great outdoors, hitting the road in search of some peace under the stars is a goal for anyone old enough to drive -- even more so in today's hectic, wired world. Millennials and retiring boomers want to take a break,especially one that reflects their ever increasing simple and minimal mindset. Enter the Teardrop Trailer. First designed in 1930's for cars lacking power, they've re-emerged as a smart, aerodynamic, and eye-catching option for seeking out the quiet beauty that camping offers...but with plenty of comfort. Think of the tiny house movement going camping...Matt Berger’s book The Handmade Teardrop Trailer: Design & Build a Tiny Classic Camper from Scratch hands you the keys to craft your own stylish adventure. The Handmade Teardrop Trailer guides you through the journey from sketchbook to first road trip, and will prepare you to design and build your own comfortable pull-behind Tiny Trailer. And, to achieve this you don’t need much space, just a garage bay or shared workspace, and the most basic tools and materials available at your nearby hardware store or home center.Because we all have our own "get away from it all" road-trip fantasies when it comes to comfort, style, and purpose, The Handmade Teardrop Trailer will train you up like a pro on the basics of trailer design, backed up by deep research and experimentation. Illustrations provide measurements and construction details that are easy to adapt for variations in size and configuration and more than 100 step-by-step photos illuminate every detail in the design and build process. With this handy guide leading the way, you’ll be shutting down the computer, storing the cellphone, and hitting the road to find some peace in a classic tiny trailer camper you built by yourself.

    • Great Book
Format: Paperback
Hard to put down and some great advice.

    • Easy read, and thorough and realistic on how to build
Format: Paperback
Easy read and I thought it was intuitive to the subject matter of what it takes to build teardrop trailer.

    • Great except for some errors in the wiring section.
A great start to getting some ideas for a build. The author has presented some nice details but does not include the details that some inexperienced builders may need. As a custom furniture builder / carpenter it will be easy for me to add my own spin on my build. One thing that really surprized me as a huge error, is the section on electrical wiring. The author here makes the mistake of going against normal standards in DC wiring. In every case I have experinced DC circuits, 12 volts to much higher ( like off grid solar systems) the positive wire is alway red. This could lead to some problems if you every need some help trouble shooting the system and bring in a electrician. ... show more

    • Did not work well
Format: Paperback
I got these thinking it would make it easier for me to sand down a door so that I could refinish it. I ended up using a piece of sandpaper to get into all the knooks and crannies. The blocks wore out quickly. A solid piece of work would work okay. But as I stated, it wore out quickly.

    • Great read!

Great book and shared knowledge for those interested in building their own trailer!

    • Aweful print layout. Very hard to read. Good Content.
Format: Kindle
The content is amazing but the printing is aweful. Letters on top of letter, emoji everywhere, headlines running off off of pages. This is very poorly prepared for electronic reading. It's like no editor even looked at it. Hard to read.
