_________Teardrop Trailer Page 1


Cut-away Trailer Drawing -- This rough drawing gives you an idea of the layout of the trailer and how the top will appear in the up and down position.

Lay-out on Particle Board -- The above picture shows the layout of the trailer full size on 2 sheets (a 4 X 8 sheet and a partial sheet to the left) of 1/2 inch particle board. On it I have the side view of the trailer, location of the main frame rails, locations of spring mounts, area of trailer that will raise and some of the upright support locations.

Just below and to the right of the level you can see burn spots where I laid the main frame rails and tacked them together with my welder using the particle board as a jig. Later I cut the particle board along the trailer outline to give me a full size side view of the trailer (you will see it in a later picture).
