What this blog is about

This is where Steve and Chris (feveredSteve and ChessQueen) will share the ups and downs of 2011's fun project: building a teardrop trailer.
We'll try and include all the detail we can, along with photos, so that you will know what worked and what didn't.

Teardrop revamp

We've lived with the teardrop for getting on for 5 years and taken it to a good few places. As with many projects, there are some things that never got properly finished and some other things that didn't work out the way we intended.

Hence the revamp. Spurred on by impossible deadlines as per usual, we're going to a couple of festivals in August, so that is the irresistable force driving the work.

Here are the main areas we're planning to attack:

1. Kitchen
The sink never worked for us, so we're going to remove it and instal an "external" sink. This also means a new hob and worktop. Having the cool box under the counter didn't work either, so we need to make more sensible use of that space.

We're also aiming for an over all Steampunk vibe. It was part of the original idea for the trailer, so we're going for it...

2. Sleeping Compartment
The main thing here is the cupboard doors which were left as plain plywood. So now's the time to finish them.

3. Front Box
We're changing this for a metal steamer trunk we've got in the shed. Also adding an external light and some Steampunk additions.

Well, that's the plan. Let's see how it goes...
