You never know where you will find a trailer for your new tear drop.  A site that you are sure to use to scrounge up a good deal on a trailer is Craig’s List.  Personally I don’t like checking everyday to see if there is something new  posted to the site.  Fortunately Craig’s List provides an easy way to keep track of what is new in your area.

When you browse a category or do a search on Craig’s List there will be a RSS link.  You can use this link to add the newest listings to a RSS reader.  Some email programs provide allow you to RSS feeds to them like a new email box so everytime you check your email you will also check the newest listings.  If you use a start up page like iGoogle, Yahoo, or Netvibes they will allow you to add a new section for your Craig’s List RSS feed.  So anytime you start up your browser or check out your start page you don’t have to do anything extra to see that trailer just waiting for you.

 Since most of the design was taken care of before this blog there are no thoughts or notes on various ideas.  With the re design to fit the smaller trailer every thing is getting a fresh look.  On the Teadrop forum I stumbled on a thread where marine vinyl was used for the roof skin with a 3/16 head liner.

Originally the plan was to use an anodized aluminum sheet metal.  I felt this could project against the elements the best with proper trimming.  The problem with sheet metal is that in the sizes need it is difficult to handle and with a small single car garage.

With the marine vinyl storage is not a problem it is easy to handle and should provide a great barrier to rain since it can be rolled out in a single piece with out seams.  The down side is if you have a 60″ trailer you will have to stretch the stuff out from its 54″ wide roll.   Finding a 60″ roll is proving to be difficult but with marine grade vinyl available  at JoAnns in the 54″ variety it is hard to pass up.  Especially when you consider that you can sign up for mailings from JoAnns which send out 40% off coupons.
