We were lucky enough to come up with this great idea while my parents were visiting from Atlanta. They were thrilled and very encouraging of the idea. What great parents! It is too bad that they live so far from us. It would be great to make them apart of the build process. That is why we will be moving back to the southeast after our proposed big trip. We would like to be closer to our families.
We have talked more about the camper build and the trip and we are getting more excited about making it or next official adventure. Of course, being married to Kristy is an adventure of its own so this will really be an adventure within an adventure.
Unfortunately, my parents are leaving today and my wife will be at work all day. Fortunately, this will give me plenty of time to do a whole bunch of research on teardrops. We are thinking about buying a set of plans from a website and building a teardrop from scratch. Here is the link to the teardrop we are considering building:

The plans will give us everything we need to know about building an affordable teardrop and allow us plenty of room for customizing it to our needs. Off the top of my head I know we would like to work in a 2-bike bike rack, extra interior storage, and probably get rid of the sink.
It is a small trailer for two adults and a 60 pound dog but it is much bigger than the tent we have been using for the last few years. No pictures with our tent but here is a photo of the future tear droppers from a few years ago:
The idea is making us more excited every time we think about it. Stay tuned in to the adventure.
