Vintage Overland Trailers

I am researching about teardrop trailer construction and different types.
For me it is a compromise between a caravan and a soft top camping trailer.
It suit my requirements because my limited parking space which it is not enough for a caravan.
For those interested in the TD topic the best source of information is in THIS FORUM

One of the best known teadrop trailes for the mid 1940's is the Cabin Car made in USA
HERE is some info and photos of a replica built by one og the TNTT forum members.

Here is the original trailer.

I guess that for off road expeditions behind a Defe this modern teardrop will be more suitable :)

True,

but on teardrops alone theyre pretty jam packed caravans.

worth a watch of some of their videos etc - I reckon theyre
flash as.

Gidget Retro Teardrop Camper - Australian designed and owned 1950s retro style camper

(I have no affiliation with this mob and reckon the name isnt flash but like their stuff)

WELCOME - Vintage Overland

Looks really nice, and has a Landie on the front image to boot

Do try to keep up, Will! :D

Threads merged.

I thought about making one to put behind the MG Midget :D but then thought maybe an off road version would be better, it could be towed by the dormobile too.

Interesting plan here - [ame]http://www.mikenchell.com/images/GenericBenroyPlans.pdf[/ame]


And an interesting off road version -
