Stage 2: Building the Floor


What a journey this has been! Looking at zillions of pictures of other people's teardrop builds, dreaming about how we'd like our trailer to look...that's how we've spent the last two weeks. (Did we mention haunting every building supply store for thirty miles??)

One thing we know for sure about the teardrop camping community, they're open and willing to share what they know. We've watched YouTube videos, looked through lots of "build galleries" and read hundreds of comments from people who've been where we're going. It's been wonderful having the benefit of all that knowledge steering us around big mistakes as we start our build.

So--a status update! The floor, complete with underbed stowage, is built and ready to attach to the trailer frame. Kate hopes to paint the trailer in the next couple of days using Rustoleum spray paint. Also on the agenda is undercoating the entire bottom surface of the floor with spray-on truck bed liner.

Here are the pictures from this stage of the build.
