Definitely!

Holy cow, the jeep rear door is killing me. I thought I had an original idea when I thought about using a minivan or Scion door. Excellent job! I love it.

Im in the process of building my square drop. Im using Vince and Pam's build for my inspiration. Great job and thankful for the ideas. Hope to meet someday.

You pulled away just right. Leave no trace. Nothing sucks more than having to clean up a camp site right after you arrive. 😊

Excellent and Very Interesting Video. Thank You.

That’s gotta the coolest (no pun intended with the rain) handicapped friendly campground I’ve ever seen!

Very fun to watch. I wish you-all were closer to the west coast though; I'd join you with my Tiny Camper Company Rugged Rhino. Maybe someday !

Awesome campers, Thanks for sharing! My 4'x6' V-nose Toy hauler/Camper/Theater's a work in progress. So far, added: 2-12x22 windows, 26x36 side door; 5ft tongue extension for a 48"x68" aluminum diamond plate front deck and 10" wide side steps in front of the fenders. 24" TV, AM/FM-CD/DVD in a 28"x48" entertainment ctr. in the point with all electric controls; 5k btu AC; a rear rcvr for a 24x48 'back porch' rack, my 'ramp room' which will be a rear kitchen & add'l space bringing interior to 4x9; Roof rack will hold gear and awning. A People S200 scooter causes the sofa-bed and solar panels to ride in the car. Wish me luck....

So many good ideas. My favorite is Vince Ostertag's. The creative solutions are abundant.

I love seeing all of the different ideas people have put into their campers

I was looking forward to watching this. And here it is! Edgar Evins is a great campground. I wish our timing had coincided with your meetup. It would have been great to join in and meet you and Joanna, see your Camp EZ, and all the other fantastic teardrops. Chris and I got back last Wednesday after driving from Texas to Florida and back to NYS. Fontainebleau State Park in Louisiana was also beautiful. We loved seeing all the Spanish moss and smelling the Georgia pines in Fort McAllister State Park (Georgia)... We had a great time visiting family and are glad everything went well during our first huge road trip with our teardrop. Thanks for sharing so much great content! I got some great ideas from your fellow teardroppers =) ~ Maria

Joli camp !

Appreciate the videos. Our camper is now being used... not quite complete, but we're jumping in! Hopefully we will get to take enough time off in the near future to come to one of the events like this one. Not sure why anyone would thumbs down, but I guess some folks just live for that. Good job!

VIDEO BACANA DE VCS, DEUS ABENÇOE SEMPRE

There are some great ideas with those builds. We had a freak hail storm hit last night with tennis ball size hail and my teardrop was in the driveway. Now my camper looks like a fat woman in spandex. Luckily nothing is broke but being a home built I don't want to re skin it so hopefully the dimples will give me better aerodynamics like a golf ball. This is why I don't recommend anyone move to Oklahoma this is a every year occurrence and for 8 years I have dodged the bullet but I knew eventually it would hit.

Just found this channel tonight, binge watching videos now..lol I have my first camper build that’s 4’ wide, 4’ tall, 8’ long, I have used it twice when camping with family. going to start another build soon, got some great Ideas watching these videos. My first build might have cost me a whopping $300 total. I would love to attend some of the future gatherings, Have y’all ever considered having some in West Tennessee? We have some cool camping places and parks..lol. Loving the videos, now to find the Facebook page..lol

Hi, love your videos and the teardrop community. Any updates on how the pellet fire pit performs? I tried to DYI one. It didn't work. Couldn't even get the pellets to light they just smoldered.

@CampandCamera

3 жыл бұрын

It works great for the initial 30-45 minute burn, but loading more pellets on it to keep it going is a bit of work. Too many pellets will snuff it out, but too little and you only get about 5 more minutes. Someone told me today that they did the initial with pellets, then fed chunk wood after that and it did great. That’s what I’m gonna try next.
