A great instructable and an inspiration for my teardrop camper add-ons and modifications. I recently added solar power to my camper as I often camp where there is no 110 V connection. Your details were quite good. As you can see I added a master disconnect toggle switch to the box so as to eliminate any phantom drain of the battery. Purchased all the parts from your Amazon links as well as a few from Princess Auto and the Ammo Box was bought from Canadian Tire.

Thanks and I agree about 'individual' needs and experiences. Sometimes when out for a few days of camping I'll notice another small camper with a small modification and different way of doing things. Last fall I saw a one person change room that had been tied off to a camper to prevent it from blowing away. Now I am considering building change room that slides into the roof rack.

Regarding storage, or what some may see as too little, I think one solution lies in taking less with you on the road.

Thanks. As for the mounting rail, I purchased it at a local RV dealer in my town for $9.99. They come in 30" lengths for the two pieces. I am sure you could also find in on amazon.

Bravo. Way to go. I am impressed by your build. As a teardrop trailer owner and builder I know the joy you must have experienced upon completion. Enjoy camping with her.

Thanks. I know what you mean about "cooking away" as I use a table top bbq / grill for most the the messy cooking, or the fire pit when I can. The built in stove is great for reheating, soup, coffee and the quick stop by the side of the road. Happy camping.

The customizations and mods that I have made were to the exterior and the galley only. So far, no changes to the cabin. Perhaps next year.

Well thank you. It's easy to write about a topic you enjoy. And I enjoy building and camping equally.

Looks good. I make pizza on the bbq, so why not bread. Bet kids would enjoy helping and eating it.

Very Nice work. The two of you did a great job. Kinda of reminds me of my rebuild that ended up becoming the Steampunked Teardrop. https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Steampunk-... Currently I am completing a number of modifications to a new teardrop that you may be interested in seeing. Some of them might work with your camper. https://sstearjerker.wordpress.com/

Thanks for the compliment. My design was part whimsy, part art and I always kept fun and camping in mind as I built. Sold it in May and I am now working on another. Best wishes with your project.

It was her idea but here is how I adaptedit. On a sheet of ¼ inch plywood that is at least a foot wider than the vardo,draw a series of arcs, varying in height but having exactly the same width ofthe top of the wall. Then tack the sheetto the wall, stand back and pick the arc that you prefer. I chose one that wasapproximately 18” higher than the top of the wall. Your choice. Now cut out the sheet along the chosen arcusing a jigsaw, re-attach to the end wall and nail or screw the remaining wallboardstemporarily. Using the plywood template as your pattern, draw the arc onto thetop boards, then remove the template and top end boards, cut the curves andreattach. This is more difficult to write than to actually do. Hope this makessense, and good luck with your project.

Nixie tubes, eh? Thanks for the idea. I like it! If I go ahead with it, I'll post a pic.

Nice! I like it. Kinda thing I would make, perhaps as a gift since I already have two work benches. Simple and compact design. Look forward to seeing more of your 'crazy things'.

I just ordered the book. Great gift idea.

Your welcome and my dog says thank you also.

The copper is not too soft given the short lengths that are being used. I like using copper and had some of it on hand.

Thanks for the compliment.
