Teardrop Trailer project - SOLD 7/6/09.

My name is Sam and you can contact me eves/weekends: 228-9640 or sam@samstoybox.com

For sale in NE Albuquerque is my "5x9" Teardrop Trailer project. Not exactly 5x9, the body of the trailer is 4'8.5" (56.5") wide by 9'4" (112") long and has a four foot tongue with 2" ball coupler. Has a complete rolling chassis with vinyl covered floor. Six underfloor storage compartments are built nicely into the floor. The walls are framed and insulated but not skinned on the inside (1/8" plywood or paneling needed). The walls have been erected temporarily so you can see the trailer's size--will need to be disassembled to finish the trailer. Two of the rear bulkheads are framed but not insulated or sheathed. Six of the "joists" are completed, two of which are temporily attached. A set of generic taillights are present and correctly wired.

I've been dinking around with the project for four years and apparently won't ever finish it. My procrastination is your gain. The trailer including the chassis is homemade and has never been titled. You will be provided with a bill of sale and will need to have the trailer weighed and inspected at the DMV and they will title it as a home-built. Lots of details about the build on my Teardrop page. Use the links at the top left which incorrectly speak of the trailer as a 5x10'.

Here is what you get with the project:

• Excellent rolling chassis with leaf sprung axle. Made of 2x2 square steel tubing the chassis is rock solid. Great rims, fair tires. Working taillights.
• Rear stabililers and front swing-away trailer jack.
• Homemade 2x4 wood floor with 1/2" plywood top and vinyl covering. Has six hinged and framed underfloor storage doors and the bottom of the wood has been covered in roofing cement.
• 1/2" plywood walls, 4' tall by 9'4" long, framed with 1-by lumber and insulated with foam insulation.
• Matching 1/2" plywood doors, framed and insulated.
• Pair of smoked glass sliding screened windows for the doors.
• Hinges for both doors and for the galley hatch.
• Three speed reversible Fantastic Fan, 14x14".
• Two rear verticle bulkhead frames.
• Six "ceiling joists", two of which are temporarily installed.
• Matching elongated fenders predrilled for T-nuts in the walls.
• Battery box, electrical box, fuse block, and 12v outlet.
• Pair of 60s VW taillights and license plate light I was planning to use on the galley hatch.
• New fingerpulls for the underfloor storage compartment doors.
• Dual reading light and a pair of single reading lights.
• Porch light with both amber and clear lenses.
• Pair of door holders (keep the doors open).

Temporarily assembled for you to take home. The 1960 Siesta Travel Trailer behind it is not for sale.
