I sure love your build SamJ. I really like what you did, going to try it myself. I noticed you started with the side walls and you already cut out\framed the door and window. Did you already have these?

Also, what type of hinge/hardware did you use for the back door of the trailer?


Thanks

Hi Lance - apologies, I completely missed this post. Yes I sourced windows and door before I started the build as I knew these would potentially be stumbling blocks. The door was sourced from a teardrop manufacturer in the states for about $600CAD - I'm glad I did this since it would've been a pain to make.

The hinge is a 'Hurricane hinge' - seems to be quite a specialist item specific to teardrop trailers. Again I sourced it from a manufacturer in the states (TC Teardrops). I'm not where you might source this in the UK/Europe since I'm based in Canada.

Lastly the trim (offset t molding) around the hatch was another specialist teardrop part, I can't remember where I ended up sourcing this from, but teardroptrailerparts.com also known as Vintage Technologies is one of the only folks that carry it, and they're not pleasant to deal with and best avoided.
