The idea is in our heads. I am not really sure how it got in our heads but it is in there. Kristy (my wife) and I are going to build a teardrop camper trailer and drive it around the country. What is a teardrop trailer? A teardrop trailer is a mini camper that can be pulled by almost any vehicle. They were really popular back in the hay day of the American automobile boom. They look a lot like this:
We will be moving from Oregon back to somewhere in the southeast after I graduate from college in June of 2014. We have one year to build it and then we will spend a few months driving around the United States visiting everywhere we want to go. We will live out of the teardrop and explore America.
Again, this is just an idea, but a big idea. The camper is very difficult and expensive to build. We would also have to save up enough money in a year to get us around the U.S. We must look at this as an opportunity for adventure.
You are now thinking "Kurt, you and Kristy are so awesome. How can I do the same thing?" I would suggest you start by becoming very excited about the blood, sweat and tears, that it will take to build a teardrop. You can start your adventure at this awesome forum:
For those of you who think it is too much to take on, don't worry. You can come help me if I decide to build one. Another set of hands will probably come in handy from time to time. BYOB!
