Hi Sean
You missed the point of a Teardrop it is a very minimum in size and equipment to keep the weight down. And also very low so no wind resistance better MPG.
Check out this web page http://www.metalmeet.com/forum/showt...?t=8674&page=4
A guy in Sweden built this one. There are plans for them on Ebay too. But most are a bed and the back hatch has cooking equip and food storage.
Have fun

That's good stuff, I would like to build a small camper. Nothing big 5x8 - 5x10, but I would like a small shower/toilet. I'm not a big camper, but it would be nice to have something you could vacation with.

Sean,
A good idea is to build your shower stall (solar hot water if possible backed by one of these: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=542593 )
Use the shower stall with one of these for a toilet : http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=620012
You can even get away with a tent stall to save weight and space: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=785087

That is kind of snazzy!

That is a good size. My wife and I have used one that size for quite (it was parked on our place for a number of years) a while till its owner finally showed up and took it after we had gone to the trouble of fixing it up.
No re-numeration, no thanks. They just took it.

You can get different weight limit axles for different size trailers. I have a buddy that has a tandum axle Airstream withthis type axles.
