5' x 8' in size










This camper is built on a used custom made frame. It was built for my mechanic to tow his motorcycles to Florida each year. The axle was moved for the build, the trailer was sanded, primed and then painted before adding the floor. At the time of the build the bearings were checked and greased.

The trailer has 13" whitewall car tires and comes with a spare. The spare was the best tire picked off of the original trailer and the vinyl cover was added to protect it from any sun damage. The tires have about 4,000 miles on them. New fenders were added along with baby moon hubcaps. Car tires allow for this smaller trailer to have a smoother ride than standard trailer tires.

The trailer has custom made light brackets and uses a four way flat connecter for towing. You need a 2" ball for towing. The trailer bumper is made of poplar wood.

This trailer weighs about 900lbs and has a tongue weight of about 90-100lbs. It is very easy to move, tows easy and straight. The teardrop trailer is registered in Ohio as a "home built trailer".
