Ross Wade has built a teardrop based on the Mechanix Illustrated plans. He modified the design to put insulation in the floor and walls.

Ross is in the furniture restoration business, so that’s why his woodwork looks so good!

Gerald Hynes from Manitoba has already towed a teardrop behind his motorcycle for 20,000km and now he's building a larger teardrop.

Gerald has used the Cub/Modernaire/Modernistic profile (shortened to 9ft 9in) but built it at 67in width with internal wheels.

Here are some photos from Gerald of the finished trailer.

Tom has built the first Rimple. He has modified the back to split the one-piece hatch into an upper hatch and lower doors - an interesting idea.

Walter has built a Rimple - just look at those fenders!

Ken has built a trailer that is a variation of the 2+2 design.

Sue and Michael Westhoff built a Cub/Modernistic/Modernaire to their own internal design but using the side profile geometry given here. Their site has got a comprehensive record of the build.

Ron has built a Widget, although he has increased the width a little and modified the layout to give a permanent dinette as well as a permanent double bed. A very nice job!

Jeff is building a Jim Dandy and here is his progress so far.

This shot through the galley hatch shows that there's plenty of access to the galley worktop, but that cupboards above the worktop can't be used as they are in every other teardrop, because that space is needed for sitting headroom in the cabin. I presume that's a pass-through hatch for his morning coffee that Jeff's added to the bulkhead.

Mike in Ohio has built a Widget. He had the use of a CNC router, so that's how those lovely side and roof rames got cut so nicely, but most of the quality is explained by his being a carpenter.

Another Widget - it does seem to be the popular design at the moment!
This one is by Will Guthrie.

Someone has finally built a Roswell - Del from WA - so it's probably the first real one! Spectacular work (and colour!).

Del built near to the plans, but not identical - please notice how he managed to incorporate a lifting galley hatch into the rear end.

Here's a nice Simple, built by Mike and Sheri in New England
