    Default Tear Drop Camper / tiny campers

    Anyone have any experience building their own camper? I've been looking around some of the tear drop forums, and would like to build a small camper with a toilet and shower.

    Hi Sean
    You missed the point of a Teardrop it is a very minimum in size and equipment to keep the weight down. And also very low so no wind resistance better MPG.
    Check out this web page http://www.metalmeet.com/forum/showt...?t=8674&page=4
    A guy in Sweden built this one. There are plans for them on Ebay too. But most are a bed and the back hatch has cooking equip and food storage.

    Have fun

    That's good stuff, I would like to build a small camper. Nothing big 5x8 - 5x10, but I would like a small shower/toilet. I'm not a big camper, but it would be nice to have something you could vacation with.

    Sean,

    A good idea is to build your shower stall (solar hot water if possible backed by one of these: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=542593 )

    Use the shower stall with one of these for a toilet : http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=620012

    You can even get away with a tent stall to save weight and space: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=785087

    That is kind of snazzy!

    This is something along the lines of what I would like to build.
