    I bought one!

    No, not a bike. The teardrop trailer I mentioned a week or so ago.







    It's a homebuilt woody. I already started some modifications. My plans are to load the bikes in the back of the truck, hitch up the TD and go.

    I'm going to be 'redecorating' inside and out. I have bought some cute little appliances already. Pulled the foam mattress out to air, though it doesn't smell or anything. I think in the interior picture you can see the striped storage boxes I've gotten.

    Who wants to go with me next weekend?

    Wow, that is great! DH and I have been talking about getting one of those for a few years now. What do you think of it. Let me know how your first trip with it goes. Have fun

    No paint. I want to stain parts of it to show off some of the 'architecture'. Most likely the trim and the swoop in the curve. Then considering running a tiny line of color along the swoop.

    It's quite campable now. If the weather is good for next weekend, I'm planning a test run.

    TOO COOL!
    We've toyed with the idea of getting one. We love to go camping and I'd enjoy that soooo much more than a tent (I'm getting too old to sleep on the ground).
    Will you paint it, or leave it the beautiful wood tone? It's so pretty!!!

    Love the stiped boxes. You'll have to take more pictures when you get all your cutesy touches on it!
