When my father was alive I shared his love of guns and hunting. When he died in 1984 I lost interest in hunting and slowly over the following decade I lost my interest in anything that could be labeled as a “hobby”. I have had many interests that I would label as distractions, but nothing that I would call a hobby.
My wife and I have always enjoyed camping; in fact we are in agreement that the best part of hunting was the camping. During our 37 years of marriage we have owned and camped in tents, trailers, vans, motorhomes and campers. Last winter Patty was looking at teardrop trailers on craigslist when I suggested that if she liked them we could build our own. She took that to heart and our tiny teardrop trailer was born.
The initial trailer was custom built on a 5’ x 8’ utility trailer frame by a guy in Eugene, Oregon. My hobby, in addition to camping, has become the customizing of the teardrop to fit our likes and dislikes.
Here are some pictures of the evolution of our tiny teardrop trailer. I will be adding more as future developments take place.
