Details
You wanted details? We got your details. With 90 pages and over 150 full-color photos, drawings and illustrations, these
plans will guide you from welding the chassis to staining the
cabinets. Included are sections on the axle and chassis, forming the
body, insulating the cabin, applying aluminum skin, constructing interior
cabinets, wiring diagrams and water system, finishing details and
safety considerations.
These plans will help you no matter which model of
teardrop you're building.

Quality
These aren't plans for a stripped-down, production-type
teardrop. We're talking top-shelf, heirloom quality construction
that will retain its value and last for years. Options are given for
the faint-of-heart or behind-of-schedule for regular drawer joints, but if
you have a long winter and a heated shop, we'll show you how to make the
best! Featuring the craftsmanship of Kevin Hauser, our plans
explain the mysteries that usually vex rookie teardrop builders, such as
"how do you make the hinge so it doesn't leak?" and "how do
you bend aluminum angle around corners?" These operations are
broken down into easy steps for you. |

Artwork
Detail after detail has gone into our artwork:
full-color measured drawings and exploded views, cross-sections and
callouts. This type of artwork is incredibly labor-intensive and
expensive to produce, but when you want the best, its well worth it. |
 |
Material Lists and Shop Drawings
We give you five pages of material lists, down to the
last screw, and suppliers to find it all. We're even working with
suppliers to prepare packaged bundles of materials to aid your
construction. Besides the pages of text and photos, we supply 16
pages of full-color measured shop drawings, fully cross-referenced
in the text. Details are explained where necessary to enable
you to save time and money. |

Step-by-Step
Our plans guide you through every operation;
assembling the chassis, forming the body, insulating the cabin,
applying the aluminum skin, constructing interior cabinets, wiring
diagrams, water system, and building a complete galley with
propane stove. We even show you how to build your own icebox
from scratch. Our plans will help you no matter which model of
teardrop you're building |
