Photos from the creation of my Teardrop trailer. Egon made this in his garage from his own design and plans over the course of a few months, October to March. It’s truly a work of art! Thanks Egon!

Travels with the Blonde Coyote 
Exceedingly handsome! Talented carpenter. Interesting how it is all coming together.
Very interesting, Mary. It is much larger than I thought from seeing the first photo of it.

Love the trailer. Looked into building one as they look like so much fun!
Great Trailer! Are there plans available for it? How many hours did Egon put into it?
So cool!

Anyway you could send me Egon’s contact info so I could commission my own teardrop? I haven’t been able to find one set up like yours and I don’t want a bed on the floor. You would be my savior!

Mary,
Like Ginger I don’t want a bed on the floor as in all the teardrops I’ve seen on the web. Being able to sit and write on a laptop is key.
This is a brilliant design and addresses things I don’t like about teardrops. The light weight will allow me to use our HOnda CRV. I recently saw a small wood trailer mAde in Colorado which Is simple and also brilliantly designed. It, however, requires a larger car which I can’t afford right now.
I would also appreciate contact info with Egon in order to “Audition” for a commission by him.
Sincerely,
S. Lee
