I have been wanting to build a teardrop for a few years now. I kept putting it off for other VW projects, house projects and what not.
So this year I said the heck with it. August 7 I started. I took it camping on oct-10.
Here are a few of the progress pictures.

Using it!!
Tnttt.com has a huge resource for building these or buying a used one.
I plan on building a 9' version for sale w the extra metal I have.
Mine is 120" long 60" wide and 51" tall. The sleeping area uses a standard queen mattress. We bought one from ikea. My wife made the curtains and the headboard pillow.
Everything was built from raw materials no premade doors or panels.
It has a marine 120v/12v battery maintainer and power center. 30a 120v service and 12 12v fuse ports.
Going out again November 8-10 to Tim's ford state park.
