I am sure many of you have seen the build thread to my Grizz-Pod here: www.retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=othrmod&action=display&thread=67389These little trailers are often hitched behind Hotrod and streetrods. Just look at the reports of many of the gatherings from the USA. Now we have a lovely new UK based and moderated site to do with all things Teardrop trailer. You will find build plans, advice and build threads there. Please do take a look at the site, you may even be inspired to build one for "The Gathering" www.tcgb.freeforums.orgHope to see you there. Gwaaan... Take a look. How nice is this : COPPERTOP, built for DeliDave's daughter.

I read through the build thread last night - some fantastic work going on there, its inspired me to hunt for a caravan chassis forthwith Look on the various sites, including the Teardrop Club of GB site, often we know of FREE caravans and chassis, nice to get an ALKO as they are galvanised and braked. They can make silly money on Ebay too.

Here is a cheap, really cheap build.... £250.00 was what it cost, and some ingenious solutions. www.tcgb.freeforums.org/steve-s-yaarksha-scavenger-t27.htmlAnd there you have it working. Here are the pics you took. Thanks for the PM earlier.

yes, put some feelers out today with some locals, and I'm going to do a bit of ringing round on monday. I'm still working my way through the Teardrop GB site, but no knowledge is slowly increasing
