So, a bit of a change in gears....

   So, I'm teetering between two ideas--one, to renovate my "vintage" '68 Aloha, and the other, to build a new teardrop camping trailer from scratch.  Teardrop trailers are very popular because they are much less expensive than larger campers, you can pull them with virtually any vehicle as they are very light, and you can still sleep in relative comfort, dryness, and safety--compared to tent camping.

I recently started renting a shopspace, and I purchased a very inexpensive Harbor Freight 4'x8' utility trailer for the teardrop build.  Yesterday, I began the preliminary design stage for what I think should be a very inexpensive and rapidly-built teardrop.  Just for fun, I also downloaded a GMC Sonoma (like my own truck) to hitch the sketchup design to.  So, maybe I'll just float between the two projects. 

  I'm planning on building both trailers with the aim to sell them, and this is as much an experiment in design and entrepreneurial efforts as it is my desire to create and build. 

I welcome your feedback!
